One of the two major administration agenda points for Joe Biden’s regime, during the four years he was in the White House, was abortion. The other was transgenderism.
On abortion, he promoted it everywhere he could, in the United States and around the world.
He tried to impose abortion requirements on unwilling targets of his political agenda, and one of those was the community of emergency room physicians.
Biden’s administration simply reinterpreted a federal law, which actually provides protections for the “unborn child,” to insist that emergency room physicians had to perform abortions, essentially on demand by a patient.
Now President Donald Trump has reversed that reinterpretation.
His administration announced it is revoking a “guidance” to hospitals that ordered them to do “emergency abortions” for women, on the condition that was “necessary” to stabilize their medical condition.
It was in 2022, shortly after the U.S. Supreme Court threw out the faulty Roe v. Wade precedent that incorrectly created a constitutional “right” to abortion that the Biden administration retaliated.
Its guidance said to preserve abortion access for cases in which women were experiencing medical emergencies and needed an immediate abortion, ER doctors must commit abortion.
Marjorie Dannenfelser, of SBA Pro-Life America, said the move was one of the ways Biden tried to push abortion into states where there are legal and constitutional limits.
“Democrats have created confusion on this fact to justify their extremely unpopular agenda for all-trimester abortion. In situations where every minute counts, their lies lead to delayed care and put women in needless, unacceptable danger,” she said.
Lawyers with the ADF also confirmed they had filed a voluntary dismissal of a lawsuit against the Biden actions.
The case, Catholic Medical Association v. U.S. Department of Health and Human Services, argued that the Biden orders under the Emergency Medical Treatment and Labor Act overstepped Biden’s statutory authority and violated members’ conscience rights.
“Doctors—especially in emergency rooms—are tasked with preserving life. The Trump administration has rolled back a harmful Biden-era mandate that compelled doctors to end unborn lives, in violation of their deeply held beliefs,” said ADF lawyer Matt Bowman.
“Emergency room physicians can and do treat life-threatening conditions such as ectopic pregnancies, and every state allows doctors to do whatever is necessary to preserve the life of a mother. Now, doctors will be able to perform their life-giving duties without fear of government officials forcing them to end life and violate their beliefs.”
It was Biden’s HHS secretary, Xavier Becerra, who claimed he could override state laws regarding abortion to demand ER doctors perform the procedures.
