If your water breaks at 16 weeks, that is an emergency. According to the lawsuit, they knew this quite well:

By the time Ms. Farmer arrived at TUKH, she had been evaluated and it was clear that she had lost all her amniotic fluid, and her pregnancy—which she had dreamed of and longed for—was no longer viable. And unless she received immediate medical intervention to end the pregnancy in a medical setting, she was at risk of severe blood loss, sepsis, loss of fertility, and death.

It could not be a more obvious example of a medical error. When the law says this is allowed, the law is not at fault.

Not sure why you replied with the same remark to two different comments, but whatever.
