Trump Administration Refuses To Allow Pregnant Patients To Access Abortion in Medical Emergencies

When a health crisis or emergency arises, and when minutes and seconds can be the difference between life or death, it is critical to ensure that patients receive the care that they need quickly and without hesitation. This week, the Trump Administration made this task harder by revoking guidance clarifying that the Emergency Medical Treatment and Active Labor Act (EMTALA) applies in cases where abortion care is necessary to stabilize a patient, even when there is a state abortion ban in place.

“This is visible in Trump’s policies, Sharita Gruberg, vice president for economic justice at the National Partnership for Women and Families (NPWF), explains to me. The Executive Order, she says, allows members of the Trump Administration ‘to review anything that has gender in it.’ The public face was the attack on trans people, but the implementation goes beyond, ‘trying to claw back gender equity projects and work and data.'”

“Moreover, as Rolonda Donelson powerfully observed in a recent National Partnership for Women & Families blog post, it is problematic to cast abortion as a legally cognizable source of injury when ‘the truth is that those declines are much more likely caused by the states themselves… and their policy shortcomings.’ Thus, ‘characterizing abortion as a ‘harm’ to the state increases misogyny and refuses to hold states accountable for the failures they have caused by not providing social support to children and families already in existence.'”

Inside the U.S. Government-Bought Tool That Can Track Phones at Abortion Clinics – 404 Media

“‘Warrantless law enforcement access to digital information related to reproductive health care, including location data, threatens reproductive freedom,’ Ashley Emery, senior policy analyst, reproductive health and rights at the non-profit the National Partnership for Women & Families, told 404 Media. ‘If law enforcement can bypass court approval needed to obtain sensitive data and instead use this new surveillance tool to track pregnant people and build cases against them, the implications for abortion and pregnancy criminalization are alarming. This risk is especially salient for Black women, brown women, and low-income women, who are already over-surveilled and over-policed.'”

‘It’s always concerning when people repeat medical myths to score political points,’ Ditkowsky says. ‘It’s even more concerning when disabled people are used as a political football without consulting or truly centering us.'”
