Trump Rips Up Another Biden-Era Abortion Mandate
The Daily Wire
Overview
The Trump administration has rescinded Biden-era guidance mandating hospitals to provide emergency abortions under EMTALA, a move criticized by healthcare advocates as potentially endangering pregnant patients. The guidance, issued after the Supreme Court's Roe v. Wade decision, aimed to ensure access to necessary medical care in emergencies, even in states with abortion bans. While the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS) will continue enforcing EMTALA, critics argue the lack of clear guidance could lead to confusion and harm. Pro-life advocates have praised the decision, claiming it respects existing laws, while abortion rights groups warn it jeopardizes women's health.
