The Trump administration today has rescinded a rule from Joe Biden that attempted to force ERs to become abortion clinics.
Biden tried to use the federal Emergency Medical Treatment and Active Labor Act (EMTALA) to force hospitals to kill babies in elective abortions. But on Tuesday, the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services announced that Biden’s policy has been overturned.
In 2022, the Biden administration announced its intention to force doctors to perform abortions under EMTALA. Shortly after the announcement, the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services issued a memorandum and a letter from then-Secretary Becerra stating that EMTALA grants the administration authority to override state pro-life laws, even though EMTALA does not mention abortion but explicitly protects the “unborn child.”
Now, the Trump administration’s health department and the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services has rescinded that mandate and letter and has affirmed the plain words of the statute: EMTALA protects both the “pregnant woman” and the “unborn child.”
