"Federal Court Upholds Texas Ban on Emergency Abortions, Defying Biden's Guidance"
Whoopi Goldberg criticized Republicans on "The View" for their stance on abortion following a federal appeals court ruling that Texas doctors are not required to perform emergency abortions, even when the mother's life is at risk. This decision aligns with the Texas Supreme Court's action to block a judge's ruling that would have allowed an emergency abortion for a woman with a life-threatening pregnancy. Goldberg condemned the rulings as a power play over women's bodies, calling it torture, and co-hosts expressed their concerns about the implications of such decisions.
