Court-ordered medical procedures are just one of the ways pregnant patients’ rights are restricted. The effort is rooted in the concept of fetal personhood — that a fetus has equal and, in some cases, more rights than the woman sustaining it.

The Board of Governors applauded Florida State's $110 million contract with Tallahassee Memorial HealthCare and the city of Tallahassee.

FSU will assume ownership under the agreement, and Tallahassee Memorial HealthCare will operate the hospital under an amended and restated 40-year lease.

Court papers say clinicians issued a discharge order Oct. 6 after deciding she no longer needed acute care. The hospital says it tried to work with her family and offered to help with transportation and identification.

The agreement includes an FSU investment of $1.7 billion in the hospital. Under the deal, Tallahassee Memorial will continue operating the hospital and lease it from FSU Health.

The agreement will have FSU pay the city $109 million across 30 years for Tallahassee Memorial Hospital's property and assets. The school will also commit $250 million to various upgrades.
