Trump administration rescinds emergency abortion guidance

UNITED STATES, JUN 4 – The Trump administration reversed a 2022 Biden guideline that mandated emergency abortions under federal law, raising concerns about access in states with abortion bans, according to multiple health experts.

  • On Tuesday, the Trump administration announced it would no longer enforce 2022 federal guidance requiring hospitals to provide emergency abortions.
  • This guidance was issued by the Biden administration after the 2022 Supreme Court ruling overturning Roe v. Wade, aiming to preserve abortion access during medical emergencies.
  • A report by the Associated Press from the previous year revealed that, despite guidance issued under the Biden administration, many pregnant women were denied care in emergency departments, with some requiring urgent abortion procedures.
  • The decision drew praise from anti-abortion advocates but raised concerns among doctors and abortion rights groups about increased confusion and risks in states with strict abortion bans.
  • The federal agency responsible for hospital oversight announced it will maintain enforcement of the law requiring emergency medical care, including stabilizing treatments during critical pregnancy-related emergencies, though the effect on emergency abortion access remains uncertain.
