      The pregnancy was no longer viable. Alison needed surgery or she could die. Before she could have surgery the hospital's board of ethics needed to meet and grant permission to proceed. If the board said no, Alison would have needed to be taken to a different hospital hours away.

          The health of pregnant women should be a priority. Women die whenever it's not. .
