That guidance was issued to hospitals in 2022, weeks after the U.S. Supreme Court upended national abortion rights in the U.S. It was an effort by the Biden administration to preserve abortion access for extreme cases in which women were experiencing medical emergencies and needed an abortion to prevent organ loss or severe hemorrhaging, among other serious complications.

The Biden administration had argued that hospitals — including states with near-total bans — needed to provide emergency abortions under the Emergency Medical Treatment and Active Labor Act. That law requires emergency rooms that receive Medicare dollars to provide an exam and stabilizing treatment for all patients. Nearly all emergency rooms in the U.S. rely on Medicare funds.

The Trump administration announced on Tuesday that it would no longer enforce that policy The move prompted concerns from some doctors and abortion rights advocates that women will not get emergency abortions in states with strict bans.

No they haven't. You're just throwing out propaganda, trying to distract from the fact that he does not care about women, and that more women will die because of this.

Why aren't you concerned about pregnant women, Randall? Why aren't you concerned about *their* health? About keeping *them* alive? And why isn't he concerned with that, either?

The laws are all about controlling women, and eventually rolling back the rest of our rights. That's it.

So, because you hate Democrats pregnant women deserve to die?

Women are no longer receiving life saving health care. How is this policy the fault of trans kids, illegal immigrants and Biden?

I said nothing about pregnant women deserving to die. Has a single pregnant women died from this? The policy will not be enforced by the Trump administration. Hospitals can choose what they will do. The last time teasel posted an article about something similar happening to a pregnant woman in Georgia, Belage thoroughly debunked it. And every single anti-abortion law has exceptions for the life of the mother. Just more lies from the left to stoke fear.

No, it's not fear mongering. It has happened, and will happen again. And this is an emergency procedure and waiting too long, even if the woman doesn't die, will still cause irreversible harm.

Google Josseli Barnica, Nevaeh Crain and Porsha Ngumezi. But also Christina Zielke, Kate Cox, Amanda Zurowski and Ryan Hamilton's wife.

And women dying in childbirth is not new. The risk has always existed. You can't say childbirth is risk free. And these policies make it worse. Obviously. You can't create hurdles for emergency procedures and claim it doesn't have any consequences. There have been several media stories that show that it's very difficult for hospitals to implement the very vague exceptions for abortion. Out of fear they wait until the very last moment. This leads to unnecessary suffering and health risks.

I was responding to teasel’s accusation that we don’t care about women or children, to show that she only cares about abortion. In many other instances, she chooses other interests over women’s rights and safe spaces. And teasel said I am “just throwing out propaganda to distract,” when she knows every word I said is true.

Medicaid is crashed by corporate greed. The prices for medication and treatments are ridiculous in the U.S. In Europe universal healthcare is working a lot better than the U.S. system. U.S. costs per capita are about 50% higher but outcomes are similar. It has nothing to do with illegals.

And you do understand that without immigrants the hospitals would be in trouble, right? Around 2.8 million immigrants are working in healthcare, thats about 18% of all healthcare workers (2021). Deportation and tax cuts are going to mess up your health care.

You can't claim someone is illegal if there's no due process. The correct procedure needs to be followed. That's in the constitution.

You don't know what you're talking about. You are illegal once you enter this country by crossing the border. That requires no due process to determine. That's not in the Constitution. Due process only applies for asylum claims, and then you get a hearing date. If you miss that date, you are deportable. If you return after being deported, that is a felony. Paying $5 million to enter the country then makes you legal. These people will contribute to society and provide jobs.

The illegal immigrants picking strawberries also contribute to society. Just because someone's rich, doesn't make them a good person. Lots of criminals are rich too. Do you want the Russian mob in the U.S.?
