🚨 #BREAKING: We have filed a federal complaint on behalf of two Texas women who ALMOST DIED and suffered permanent damage to their reproductive organs after hospitals refused to end their LIFE-THREATENING ectopic pregnancies.
Our two clients Kyleigh Thurman and Kelsie Norris-De La Cruz both had ectopic pregnancies, which are extremely dangerous and have no chance of survival. Without timely treatment, patients can die. Yet both Kyleigh and Kelsie were repeatedly turned away at two separate hospitals.
Kyleigh and Kelsie both NEARLY DIED after being denied abortion care, and ultimately both lost a fallopian tube, compromising their future fertility. This devastating outcome was the DIRECT RESULT of this egregious delay in care.

🚨TODAY: Iowa’s extreme abortion ban has taken effect. It prohibits abortion care after just six weeks—before many even know they’re pregnant. Doctors who violate the law could face class D felony charges, fines, and even the loss of their medical license.
While the law claims to make exceptions for rape, incest, lethal fetal conditions and the life of the pregnant person, we know that so-called “exceptions” have not worked in other states where abortion is banned.
Many people, including our plaintiffs, have endured senseless trauma because of similar bans—some were on the brink of death before they got care, some were forced to carry pregnancies they knew wouldn’t survive to term, and others have even lost their fertility.

WATCH: Our courageous client Lauren Miller testified today before the Senate Judiciary Committee about her terrifying experience being denied emergency abortion care under Texas's extreme ban.
Lauren, a plaintiff in our major Zurawski v. Texas abortion rights case, needed abortion care to save her own life, and the life of her viable twin.
Even though her doctors were ready and willing to provide the lifesaving care Lauren needed, Texas's laws instead forced her to flee the state at one of the most vulnerable moments of her life.

Dr. Dennard, an OBGYN and a plaintiff in our Zurawski v TX case, got emotional when she heard the verdict from the Texas Supreme Court. Texas ruled against Dr. Dennard and 20+ other plaintiffs who sued the state after being denied abortions amid dire pregnancy complications.
Dr. Dennard understands the harsh reality of living under Texas’ criminal abortion ban better than anyone. Last summer, she had to flee the state when her own pregnancy was diagnosed with anencephaly, a lethal genetic condition where the brain and skull don’t completely form.
On top of that, Dr. Dennard also has to think of her patients. Because of the extreme criminal penalties written into the state’s cruel ban, she has to think critically about what she can and cannot say to patients experiencing severe pregnancy complications.

LET DOCTORS PRACTICE MEDICINE. That's the common sense request being made in an urgent new letter to the US Supreme Court signed by 6,000 doctors from all 50 states.
🧵Here's what you need to know.
The letter was published as SCOTUS considers a MAJOR abortion case with the potential to utterly unravel the standards of emergency medical care—not just abortion care—across the country.
The Emergency Medical Treatment and Active Labor Act (EMTALA) says all hospitals receiving Medicare funds must provide emergency stabilizing care to patients who arrive to the ER crashing. For patients in a pregnancy emergency, abortion care is often the treatment needed.

⚠️With the abortion pill case going before the US Supreme Court today, here are some important reminders about mifepristone, the medication in question.
Mifepristone is extremely safe. ­­­In addition to a 20+ year track record of use in the US, the medication’s safety is documented in more than 100 peer-reviewed articles.
Leading medical and scientific organizations recognize mifepristone as safe and effective including the American Medical Association and the American Congress of Obstetricians & Gynecologists (ACOG). It is also classified as an essential medicine by the World Health Organization.
