Emergency care? If the mother is going to die in the next hour from the pregnancy, and not by malicious hand, then few people object. If that’s not the case, then it isn’t emergency care.
Not to mention even MORE of our tax dollars and payouts to these hospitals….as if China virus vents and remdisivir didn’t earn them enough. Gotta keep feeding that govt grift machine.
A natural miscarriage that doesn’t self resolve which is more than 50% of the cases will leave pregnancy products in the uterus. If these are not surgically removed the woman will enter sepsis and eventually die. Same for a ectopic pregnancy when not if the sack bursts into the abdominal cavity the woman will die. There is at least one confirmed case in Texas where a woman was not allowed the medically necessary D&C following a natural miscarriage for at least ten days while she hemorrhaged blood the whole time. The lawsuit for that woman is going to set her up for life she will be getting millions. Discovery will show to the attorneys exactly what medical care was denied and when this will be a slam dunk case using this law.

That law supersedes every state law as it carries the full force of the federal supremacy clause. What needs to happen is some doctors and administers need to be perp walked by US Marshals to Federal custody. It is abhorrent that emergency medical care is denied and a huge Federal felony. I would also push for Federal attempted homicide charges and also deprivation of civil rights by color of law or authority. Both at the Federal level so the states have zero say and a governor cannot pardon anyone EVER. Political beliefs have zero place in the emergency room.
