Her lawyer, Traci Timko, said Watts sat for eight hours at Mercy Health-St. Joseph's awaiting care on the eve of her pregnancy reaching 22 weeks, before leaving without being treated.
Timko said hospital officials were deliberating over the legalities.

I've got my grandbabies here so I don't have the time to do a big search, but this article quotes her lawyer's statement that at least one visit in which she left AMA, she waited EIGHT hours for help, which she did not receive. (See first quote) I've read another article which I can try to find after the holidays which explained that in her two visits prior to the miscarriage, she was never admitted. She went to the hospital, explained what was going on, received one examination but was NOT admitted. She left after failing to be admitted, which was considered AMA. I'm sure they'd have liked her to sit there another day or two while they continued to fail to admit her, while deliberating over legalities. (See second sentence in the quote)

Thank you! Unfortunately the articles I've been reading are all the same two, literally, text and all. Searched again last night.
Why the hell would they take the "abortion law bad" angle and not simply quote what you have?! That makes the issue far clearer.
And no, you don't have to bury me in sources, but thanks for offering more. I get it now, and thanks again.
