The abortion extremism of the Biden administration will be on full display this week as President Joe Biden’s lawyers try to convince our nation’s highest court that a 38-year-old federal law requiring hospital emergency rooms to stabilize sick patients also includes an abortion mandate.
The Emergency Medical Treatment and Active Labor Act is the latest vehicle being used by Biden and the abortion lobby to overturn pro-life state laws and push for unrestricted abortions. EMTALA focuses on ensuring that patients who are in need receive care, and it extends that life-saving care to both a woman and her unborn child. It is an instance where the “unborn child” is explicitly recognized in federal code.
Despite EMTALA requiring stabilizing care for both a woman and her an unborn baby, the Biden administration is now adopting a radical interpretation of the law that mandates abortion, even if state law precludes it. The Biden administration’s distorted guidance on EMTALA would also require emergency room personnel to perform abortions in certain circumstances. Biden’s reinterpretation removes the words “unborn child” altogether, ignoring the words on the page and arguing that the law only applies to born persons.
It’s alarming but not surprising that the abortion lobby and the Biden administration would pursue this distorted reading of the law. For nearly 50 years, Roe v. Wade allowed a flawed interpretation of the Constitution to permit the killing of more than 64 million unborn children…
The Biden Administration signs the death warrant for thousands of unborn babies every day because of its commitment to the extreme Big Abortion agenda. Help us deliver a life-saving message: TELL JOE NO and that you want a pro-life America.
Tell Joe: No!
