Well, being brought "while in labor" seems to indicate that even though perhaps not an emergency, it could have been detrimental to turn her away. Think of the litigation if she had given birth before getting to the other hospital, or if no hospital would take her under those conditions?

Then if there were complications . . . so maybe the hospital never had the option to pass her along, or had nobody to pass her along to.

I believe that a hospital is prohibited from discharging a patient against his or her will, isn't it? At least while they are in need of any care?
