Hillary Clinton is honoring an Ohio hospital's request that she stop retelling the tragic story of an uninsured pregnant woman who died after being denied care, after the hospital referenced in the story disputed the account.

Clinton noticeably dropped the story from her stump speech Saturday in Hillsboro, Ore. Since late February, she had weaved into her speeches the description of an uninsured pizza parlor employee who died after she couldn't afford $100 to get treatment.

The New York Times reported Saturday that representatives from O'Bleness Memorial Hospital in Athens, Ohio, called on Clinton to stop telling the tale, since they say the woman -- identified as Trina Bachtel -- was never refused treatment.

She died in August after her baby was stillborn at the hospital, but hospital administrators told the Times Bachtel actually was insured and kept under the care of a practice affiliated with the hospital.

Clinton spokesman Mo Elleithee acknowledged that the campaign had tried but hadn't been able to "fully vet" the story before she began repeating it on the campaign trail. Clinton said she learned of the woman from a deputy sheriff whose home she visited while campaigning in Ohio. She told the story as recently as late Friday, at a rally in Grand Forks, N.D.

Elleithee said they'd honor the hospital's request.

"She tells the story as it was told to her by the deputy sheriff. She had no reason to doubt his word," Elleithee said. "If the hospital claims it didn't happen that way, we certainly respect that and she won't repeat the story. She never mentions the hospital by name and isn't trying to cast blame."

Hospital spokeswoman Linda Weiss told the Times that even though Clinton did not mention the hospital by name in her speeches, they were implicitly accused since the baby died at the hospital.
