Associated Press :. Loom Large health fears in Gay Marriage Cases
when Niki Quasney felt a stabbing pain in his chest in March, the oncologist treating her advanced ovarian cancer was told to go to an emergency room at once. But instead of making the short drive to the hospital near her home in Munster, Indiana, she drove alone over 40 minutes to a neighbor in Illinois. Quasney said she was his local hospital "terrified" could not she and her partner of 13 years, she wed last year in another State, to be together if she is a victim of health emergency help. Quasney and his partner, Amy Sandler, are among dozens of gay couples challenging marriage bans in Indiana and Wisconsin in a case being heard Tuesday in the 7th US Circuit Court of Appeals in Chicago. Looming large in the case is the question of medical emergencies encountered by same-sex couples. Couples continue for the right to marry or have their marriage outside the State recognized in their country of origin (Callahan, 8/25).
