Lynn Callaway has filed a federal complaint against two Austin-area hospitals, alleging they denied her necessary care during a miscarriage. Despite experiencing severe symptoms and an infection, Callaway was sent home from Baylor Scott & White Medical Center and St. David’s Round Rock Medical Center without receiving abortion-inducing medication or surgical intervention. Her complaint cites violations of the Emergency Medical Treatment and Labor Act, as doctors hesitated to provide care due to fears of legal repercussions under Texas's strict abortion laws. Callaway's experience highlights ongoing issues with miscarriage care access in Texas, even after recent legislative changes meant to clarify treatment protocols.
