“ Texas is suing over the EO that an abortion has to be performed if it is for the health of the mother.”
Is this a Biden EO? The “health” of the mother can be that she gets stress headaches from the problem of being pregnant.
Sorry, I guess its a policy rule, like the SCOTUS ruled against the EPA doing so now they’re going through the Department of Transportation.
Anyway;
Texas Sues Health Secretary Over Emergency Abortion Guidance
The lawsuit says that doctors will be forced to choose between violating Texas law — which bans nearly all abortions — or jeopardizing their ability to receive Medicare funds
The lawsuit, which names the Department of Health and Human Services and Secretary Xavier Becerra among its defendants, says the guidance issued by the Biden administration earlier this week is unlawful, and that the Emergency Medical Treatment and Labor Act does not cover abortions.
“The Biden Administration seeks to transform every emergency room in the country into a walk-in abortion clinic,” Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton said as he announced the lawsuit. He said the federal government isn’t authorized to require emergency healthcare providers to perform abortions.

The government considers mental health, like depression or anxiety over anything, as a emergency situation.
