'This administration has a hard time following the law, and now they are trying to have their appointed bureaucrats mandate that hospitals and emergency medicine physicians perform abortions,' Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton said.
AUSTIN (LifeSiteNews) — The state of Texas on Thursday sued the Biden administration for its new guidance ordering hospitals to perform abortions under certain circumstances even in pro-life states, arguing the federal government is seeking “to transform every emergency room in the country into a walk-in abortion clinic.”
Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton filed the lawsuit against the Biden administration’s Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) July 14 in the U.S. District Court for the Northern District of Texas.
The lawsuit challenges HHS guidance released just weeks after the U.S. Supreme Court overturned Roe v. Wade in the Dobbs v. Jackson Women’s Health Organization case last month, thereby ending the federal “right to abortion” and returning the right to regulate abortion back to the states.
Texas is among a growing list of Republican-led states which have moved to outlaw abortion within state borders following the reversal of Roe.
However, the Biden administration has sought to curtail states’ rights to enact laws protecting the unborn.
In the new federal guidance released Monday, the Biden administration’s HHS directed that under the Emergency Medical Treatment and Active Labor Act (EMTALA), healthcare providers must perform “life- or health-saving abortion services in emergency situations,” even in states which prohibit abortion. Most states with pro-life laws provide exceptions to save the life of the mother, and many pro-life advocates argue that there is never a circumstance in which abortion is medically necessary.

They have zero authority to demand any procedures be done or not be done.
Pound sand.
Sues?! Where does that go?
I am pro life, but this statement is 100% wrong.
quote “and many pro-life advocates argue that there is never a circumstance in which abortion is medically necessary.”
An ectopic pregnancy occurs when a fertilized egg implants and grows outside the main cavity of the uterus. An ectopic pregnancy most often occurs in a fallopian tube, which carries eggs from the ovaries to the uterus. This type of ectopic pregnancy is called a tubal pregnancy.
This will kill the mother if not addressed, and the baby would never make it to term either.
Two words ectopic pregnancy if a woman has one of those you will do the extraction or you will face attempted murder charges at the federal level, an additional Federal felon charge under the Emergency Medical Treatment and Active Labor Act (EMTALA) and I would push for a life sentence or death sentence under USC 242.18 since that’s what you are putting on the woman in an ectopic pregnancy’ when not if the ectopic pregnancy ruptures into her abdominal cavity she will die. That’s a clear violation under the USC code Section 242 of Title 18, an additional Federal violating the 14th equal protection, one more under the 9th, and yet one more under article one full faith and credit clause.
I’d ask the US Marshalls to hold the administrator and presiding doctor without bail im D.C. Federal detention or at least a million dollar cash only paid in full bond per charge that’s 4 at least. You do not get to deny life saving care for your ridiculous imaginary beliefs I would enjoy absolutely destroying the life of a doctor stupid enough to deny such care. Hundreds of.thousands in legal fees let alone cash bail.
The feds need to crush this idiocy by perp walking some doctors and administrators to D.C.. I’d do the work pro bono just to prove a point. Keep your silly religion out of medical care or be crushed it’s that simple. Ectopic pregnancy is not a elective surgery ,neither is a D&C after an natural miscarriage in both cases the woman will die if they don’t get the medical care they need.
Ectopic pregnancy isn’t an abortion. Its a bona fide medical procedure. Its never been defined or considered as an abortion.
Did you read the stupid crap Texas is doing obviously not. Which is typical of this echo chamber. Texas HAS not is going to deny such care. They made a woman who had a natural miscarriage carry her pregnancy products for two weeks while hemorrhaging blood without doing the required D&C due to this ridiculous Texas precedence it’s barely law and won’t hold up against the federal supreme clause and the required care with the Emergency Medical Treatment and Active Labor Act (EMTALA). Heads should roll and they will it’s only a matter of time before the DOJ starts to perp walk idiots. I’m gonna help best I can for free to put people in federal jail for things like this. Keep your bullcrap religion out of the medical care profession. We have the first amendment expressly prohibiting the use of religion in out laws and regulations the Emergency Medical Treatment and Active Labor Act (EMTALA), is bloody clear you WILL help the mother over the child period.full.STOP. I absolutely would push for life or the.death penalty under USC code Section 242 of Title 18 it’s the only way religious zealots will be taught that we are not a theocracy we are a land of laws and those laws say treat the woman first and always.
Question how many Texas FR boomers are here? I have personally registered 245 college students every one of them is going to vote against Abbott and Paxton. I would bet that I personally have swamped out the Texas FR vote. I’m offering 20 points extra credit to register to vote with a 250 word essay about the experience to satisfy University policy on extra credit. That’s 20 point’s to the final grade out of 500 total not an insignificant amount perfectly within my syllabus approved by the Department. Young people are fired up about old white men telling them what to do with their bodies. Mark this post when Abbott is gone and Paxton too I’ll dance a gig, F those crooks they are in bed with the power barrons and also are religious zealots for both reasons they are toast. I will have two more 130 plus sized lectures in the fall right before the election I’ll be offering 20 more points to register and or vote. Moral conservatives are toast in Texas a good percentage of us are fiscal only conservatives and Abbott has got to go he screwed us time and time again. Paxton needs to be in cuffs he is a crook under indictment as such.
What is your problem!?!
Do you regard abortion as murder of an unborn baby?
You are pro-abortion.
Please explain why you are on a pro-life forum.
The answers to that would fill every book on every shelf in every library.
The pro-life movement today has definite military overtones. And a top-down, almost totalitarian method, hence the “echo chamber” effect. There is no debate, and it gives no quarter. It’s really about control and power. The rank and file follow the dictates of those in charge. Somewhere along the way, in the last twenty years or so, it changed.
If the legislators passing these laws really cared about the unborn, they would craft laws that restricted pregnant women from getting experimental gene therapy, in the form of a dangerous and unproven vaccine - because it could harm their baby. They would craft laws making it illegal to vaccinate six-month old babies with that same experimental pharmaceutical product; in fact no child should be given a medical substance that has not been subject to the standard protocols that have been in place for decades. But not a peep from the people who claim to be all in for innocent life.
So the hullabaloo may not be about the unborn after all.
Just proving Shakespeare right, even today. Henry IV Part II...
Honey, you may have “venied”
And you may have “vidied”
But you are NO WHERE NEAR ...VINCIED!
Texas should not sue.
They should say, f-— you, we’re not killing babies in the Lone Star State.
Correcting an ectopic pregnancy is an emergency medical procedure and has always been regarded as such by the medical community as well as most religions, its never been regarded as an abortion.
Biden has no authority to overrule state laws on abortion. Period.
You are pure scum.
