Abortions: Trump government completely completes emergency control

The government of US President Donald Trump has abolished a guideline issued under his predecessor Joe Biden to offer hospitals-even in states with abortion restrictions-to offer pregnancy abortions in an emergency. The regulation, which enabled an abortion in the event of danger to the health of the woman, was canceled on Tuesday (local time) by a department of the US Ministry of Health under Minister Robert F. Kennedy Jr.

The regulation was introduced in July 2022 under the then Biden government – a few weeks after the country’s highest court had tipped the right to abortions. The guideline was based on the so -called Emergency Medical Treatment and Labor Act (Emtala), a law from 1986, and continued to maintain certain protective measures in connection with abortions.

The Emtala “grants everyone who goes into the emergency room of a hospital and requires an investigation or treatment,” said the US health authority CMS. Despite the restriction of abortion rights, the law remains in force, it said.

According to a report in the “New York Times”, the abolition of the regulation introduced under bidges gives green light in republican states, pregnant women in danger of refusing, “criticized Lawrence O. Gostin, health law expert at Georgetown University.

Since the overturning of the nationwide right to abortion in 2022 by the predominantly conservative Supreme Court, the state states have free hand in the legislation in this area. Since his return to the White House in January, Trump has revoked two decrees of his predecessor, who secured access to abortion pills.
