Jaci Statton wanted her baby, but the fetus wasn’t developing properly and was dying inside her. If it wasn’t removed from her uterus it might kill her, too. She was experiencing vaginal bleeding, high blood pressure, debilitating cramps, and “intense nausea.”
As reporter Ben Felder wrote for The Oklahoman:
Next up was the hospital at the University of Oklahoma Medical Center but that, too, was a dead end. As Felder reported:
If it seems to you like women in Red states are the subjects of witch hunts, you’re right. And it has nothing to do with “life”: it’s all about economic and political power.
Didn’t we leave Europe, and set up shop over here to get away from these murderous bastards?
As reporter Ben Felder wrote for The Oklahoman:
She and her husband first went to a nearby hospital, but — like one-in-sixhospital beds in America — it was run to earn money for the Catholic Church and so refused to provide her with any help beyond fluids.The longer the fetus remained inside her, the higher risk she would be for internal bleeding, kidney and liver failure, and even a stroke.”
Next up was the hospital at the University of Oklahoma Medical Center but that, too, was a dead end. As Felder reported:
To save her life, Jaci’s husband drove her to an abortion clinic in Kansas where she was forced to walk through a gamut of jeering anti-abortion protestors carrying signs proclaiming their followers should “STONE ALL THE WHORES!”“They said, ‘We can't touch you because of the Oklahoma law,’ Statton recalled the doctors telling her husband, even as they acknowledged the pregnancy posed serious health risks and removing the fetus was the best medical decision.”
