Washington, June 5 (RHC)-- The Trump administration has rescinded Biden-era protections for pregnant women in need of emergency abortions. The guidance under the federal Emergency Medical Treatment and Labor Act directs hospitals in states with abortion bans to provide the lifesaving care when pregnant patients are experiencing a medical crisis.
The ACLU said in a statement: “The Trump administration cannot simply erase four decades of law protecting patients’ lives with the stroke of a pen. Regardless of where they live, pregnant patients have a right to emergency abortion care that will save their health or lives.”
