Mostly just propaganda. Biden has been blasted by the left since Dobbs for not doing something on abortion. All of this is mostly talk to try and appease their radical base.

Don’t state abortion laws provide for medical emergencies already?

“There is no state which outlaws D&C for incomplete abortion or induction of labor for fetal demise.

Neither of these are abortions.

No state outlaws fallopian tube removal for ectopic pregnancy. I suppose that is sort of an abortion. No state outlaws surgery to remove an abdominal pregnancy. I suppose that’s also sort of an abortion.”

And none of those would be emergencies in the sense something needs to be done now. They can be scheduled procedures.

That law supersedes every state law as it carries the full force of the federal supremacy clause.

The supremacy clause only kicks in with the enumerated powers; the regulation of health care was not one of them.

Yeah - lame attempt at trying to look relevant and in charge, as if they're doing stuff, doing something new.

The pseudo woke government/medical complex will engineer this to be worded as “an emergency is whatever the patient says it is” and will soon force ER docs to perform abortions ...it will be deemed “evidence based” and thus it will be so.

That’s how this whole thing works now and the medical establishment just marches right along with it all.

How does autocorrect get “shorty” for abortion?
I guess I need to proofread before I hit post

Incomplete abortions can bleed a lot, sometimes enough to be an emergency.

Fetal demise is not an emergency per se, but a decent respect for the mother whose child has died dictates a degree of urgency.

An incomplete abortion definitely, but the fetal demise would not need to bring in an emergency surgical team in the middle of the night. In fact, the woman could be referred to another hospital if that one doesn’t perform abortions.

There’s one other, a condition called preeclampsia. In rare cases it can’t be controlled and the baby has to be delivered. The hope is always that the baby will survive.

All of these cases have one thing in common: the health and possibly life of the mother is at stake. In none of these cases is the death of the baby the desired outcome. Very different from abortion.

Who the hell is going to determine if there is a REAL “emergency”? The foreign fart checkers from Facebook?

They sure as hell do not.

Hospitals are not abortion clinics and they do not provide those services.

Doctors do not just know how to do abortions. This is something they just don’t inherently know how to do.

Its often not something many abortionists seem to know how to do.

Ridiculous pedo joe.

In schools they dont do procedures. They arrange appointments elsewhere, and hand out plan b and contraceptives.

"Biden Administration Says Hospitals Must Provide Abortions in Emergencies"

Perhaps we'll spend less time waiting in the hospital emergency room by announcing we need an abortion (/sarc)

It is ALSO not an abortion if the child’s life has already ended.

Ectopic pregnancies as best I am aware have no chance for a viable birth, and are a life-threatening condition for the mother. They are also not part of the argument.
