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.
