Forcing rape victims to pay for emergency medical care is devastating and cruel
In the summer of 2021, a woman seeking an abortion came to the Texas clinic where I worked as a physician. She'd been raped and was 15 weeks pregnant. I was the first medical provider she had seen since being assaulted. She told me she hadn't gone to the emergency room after her rape because she was uninsured and afraid of racking up a huge medical bill.
