An Oklahoma woman with a cancerous pregnancy said she was told to wait in the parking lot until she
A woman in Oklahoma with a cancerous pregnancy said hospital workers asked her to wait in the parking lot until she started "crashing" before they could give her an abortion last month.
Jaci Statton had a partial molar pregnancy, a rare complication in which the placenta has irregular tissue, NPR reported. Molar pregnancies can cause a rare form of cancer and typically result in early miscarriages, according to the Mayo Clinic. They occur in about 1% of pregnancies, according to the Cleveland Clinic.
Statton and her husband have three young children, own a fishing guide company, and go fishing every day. The couple was looking forward to welcoming a new child into their family, NPR reported.
Statton told NPR that the hospital staff was "very sincere" and wasn't trying to be mean when they turned her away.

(2,769 posts)This couple had to travel to Kansas to get this taken care of. KANSAS!!! Never a bastion of freedom! This country is going down the tubes, people. Thank goddess we fought as hard as we did during this past election to keep that amendment from passing. But they're trying again. This time, they're trying with even more slippery language. Trying to confuse people even more.
This poor woman went through hell... and her husband was beside himself. And from what I understood from other reports, it wasn't just "irregular tissue"... there were extra chromosomes. This was cancerous and no way a viable pregnancy. In fact, I would argue it shouldn't even have been classified as a pregnancy... it was a cancerous tumor... period.
When will we learn? They just want to kill us.
