A pregnant woman, Samantha Burton, was admitted to a hospital in Florida when her membranes ruptured at 25 weeks of gestation; her obstetrician prescribed continuous inpatient bed rest. However, with 2 young children and a job, she found the prospect of a 3-month hospital stay overwhelming and decided to go home.
She and her baby both died. Three years later, an appeals court took an extraordinary stand: it vacated the order that ended their lives and upheld pregnant women’s rights to informed consent and bodily integrity.
