Two hospitals in the US Midwest put a pregnant woman's life in danger after they refused to give her an emergency abortion after she went into premature labour.
Government officials said Mylissa Farmer 'suffered significant pain, terror, and humiliation' as a result of this decision, in a first-of-its-kind investigation.
The devastating report should act as a warning to other hospitals as they strive to achieve a balance between dozens of new state laws restricting abortion, against a federal mandate for doctors to provide abortions when a woman's health is at risk.
