Trump administration revokes guidance requiring hospitals to provide emergency abortions
Associated PressJUN 2
This decision corrects Biden's radical overreach that forced hospitals and pro-life doctors to perform abortions against their conscience. The guidance twisted a law designed to protect mothers and babies into an abortion mandate, creating confusion where none existed. Every state already has life-of-the-mother exceptions, making this federal interference unnecessary and harmful.
Rescinding this guidance will cause women to die in emergency rooms by creating dangerous confusion for doctors treating pregnancy emergencies. The Trump administration is abandoning pregnant patients in crisis, forcing providers to choose between saving lives and avoiding criminal prosecution in states with abortion bans.
