"Federal Court Upholds Texas Ban on Emergency Abortions, Setting Stage for Supreme Court Showdown"

Originally Published 2 years ago — by The Daily Beast

A federal appeals court has upheld Texas' ability to enforce a total ban on emergency abortions, countering federal guidance from the Biden administration that argues such abortions are protected under a 1986 law requiring hospitals to provide stabilizing treatment in emergencies. This decision follows the Supreme Court's reversal of Roe v. Wade and continues the legal battle over abortion rights in the United States.

Federal Court Upholds Texas Ban on Emergency Abortions, Defying Biden Administration Guidance

Originally Published 2 years ago — by The New York Times

The U.S. Court of Appeals for the Fifth Circuit ruled that Texas emergency room doctors are not required to perform emergency abortions, despite federal guidance under the Emergency Medical Treatment and Labor Act (EMTALA) that mandates hospitals to provide stabilizing care in emergencies. This decision supports Texas' stance against the Biden administration's guidance following the Supreme Court's overturning of Roe v. Wade. The legal battle continues as the state enforces its abortion ban, with implications for emergency medical care and women's reproductive rights.
