"Rising Concerns: Pregnant Women Facing Barriers in Emergency Rooms and Abortion Access"
TL;DR Summary
After the U.S. Supreme Court overturned Roe v. Wade, complaints surged about pregnant women being turned away from emergency rooms, despite federal law mandating their treatment. Instances included a woman miscarrying in a Texas ER lobby, another giving birth in a car after being denied an ultrasound, and a woman being refused care at a Florida hospital. The Biden administration has sued Idaho over its abortion ban, arguing it conflicts with federal law. The Supreme Court will hear arguments that could weaken protections for pregnant patients, raising concerns about the state of emergency pregnancy care in the U.S.
