Trump administration rescinds emergency abortion guidance

From the Article

“Complying with this law can mean the difference between life and death for pregnant people, forcing providers like me to choose between caring for someone in their time of need and turning my back on them to comply with cruel and dangerous laws.”
President & CEO Dr. Jamila Perritt

The Trump administration has rescinded guidance telling health care workers who provide abortions to save their patients’ lives that they are protected under federal law.  

The Department of Health and Human Services and the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS) announced Tuesday that it is rescinding guidance issued during the Biden administration, reinforcing to hospitals that under the Emergency Medical Treatment and Labor Act (EMTALA), they must provide emergency abortions to pregnant patients if they are needed to save their lives.
