The Biden administration on Monday told hospitals that they "must" provide abortion services if the life of the mother is at risk, saying federal law on emergency treatment guidelines preempts state laws in jurisdictions that now ban the procedure without any exceptions following the Supreme Court's decision to end a constitutional right to abortion.
The Department of Health and Human Services cited requirements on medical facilities in the Emergency Medical Treatment and Labor Act...
...department said emergency conditions include "ectopic pregnancy, complications of pregnancy loss, or emergent hypertensive disorders, such as preeclampsia with severe features."
...The department says its guidance doesn't reflect new policy, but merely reminds doctors and providers of their existing obligations under federal law.

The Bidet’s new tactic is to go for a two’fer. Old people. And all pre-borns
“Certifying” that the mother's life is in danger (because of the “mental stress” of carrying the baby to term) IS THE WAY that most abortions were signed off by the murdering physician in the past 50 years.
Yes.
Just heard someone deride AOC’s nonsense about “half the states” that will let a woman die with an ectopic pregnancy medical crisis when there aren’t any that have that on the books.
Sounded clever of her, though.

They are good at setting up those straw-men (or straw-women). An ectopic pregnancy is not actually a pregnancy. It is when the fetus starts developing outside the womb and is not a viable fetus since it is not possible for it develop. The left knows (or should know) that but they depend on the media to promote their feigned ignorance and create the outrage they demand.

Biden said terminate the presidency? I missed that blooper.
“And if you kill the fetus, a time will come when even infants will be killed…The mother will get frightened after the baby will be born…and the doctor will say her life depends upon the murder of the baby. And you have a word, mental hygiene, whatever you want you can subsume under mental hygiene…And there is now a tendency for rabbis in the US to march along with society, otherwise they’ll be looked upon as reactionaries.”

Frankly, I do favor an exception for the mother’s life, ad I hope that those who oppose a mothers life exception get a global view of things. 13% trying to force their will on 87% is just like what the Dems are doing on other issues
Well...dang, I don’t know what to say. I’m glad the kid is all right.
putting up an uproar because “Mental Health” can be an “Emergency” reason as well....They have said that for YEARS and YEARS....so, medically necessary if i throw a hissy fit.
The cynic in me says it’s a perversion of the general welfare clause.
One hundred years ago it took a Constitutional Amendment to give Congress the power to outlaw alcohol. Think of all the things they’ve outlawed since without having to go through the hassle of amending the Constitution.
Of the 63 millions of babies killed under the rules of Roe v Wade, only some 2% were actually “life of the mother”
Preaching to the choir, brother.
you mean there are unethical Doctors too? ...../s
“Delivery is also a viable option in most of those cases.”
A much safer and speedier option for the mother than an abortion. The “life of a mither” excuse is pretty much a red herring
