'This is not a matter of opinion:' State AGs instruct hospitals to continue providing emergency abortions despite state
Democratic state attorneys general issued an urgent warning to hospitals across the U.S. that they must continue to provide emergency abortions despite state laws.
The 21 attorneys general issued the letter on the anniversary of the reversal of Roe v Wade and after the U.S. Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services rescinded guidance to hospitals about how to follow federal law on emergency reproductive care.
Last month the agency backpedaled on guidance issued in 2022 on the federal Emergency Medical Treatment and Active Labor Act, which it said “[does] not reflect the policy of this Administration.”
North Carolina Attorney General Jeff Jackson urged hospitals in the state to keep providing life-saving emergency abortion care to patients. Abortion is banned in North Carolina after 12 weeks, with certain exceptions for medical emergencies, and pregnancies a result of rape or incest.
