Three weeks after the Supreme Court overturned Roe v Wade, the White House said that federal law must be followed and that abortions must be performed in an emergency.
According to The Hill, the Biden administration says doctors could be fined for not providing care in those cases.
By law, no matter where you live, women have the right to emergency care – including abortion care. Today, with no certainty, we reinforce that we expect providers to continue to provide these services and that federal law prioritizes state abortion bans when care is needed. emergency.
This comes after Biden signed an executive order on reproductive health in June.
The Hill also reports:
EMTALA has been on the books for over 30 years. By law, if a medical emergency is found, the hospital must either make available stabilizing treatment or transfer the appropriate hospital to another hospital with stable treatment capacity.
As you know, Biden talked about the Supreme Court’s decision to overturn Roe v Wade. During a press conference, he said:
“Those are three judges appointed by a President Donald Trump who are at the core of today’s decision and at the core of today’s decision” to oust Roe v Wade, Biden said.
He also declared the decision “the culmination of a deliberate effort over decades to upset the balance of our laws.”
Continuing the conversation, Biden reminded the American people that abortion is on the ballot in November – after Nancy Pelosi.
