Revoking EMTALA guidance on abortions will only further confuse doctors, experts say

“The rescission of this guidance is, contrary to its own statement, only further lending into the confusion that exists in emergency departments around the country, and it will put women’s lives at risk,” Alison Tanner, an attorney at the National Women’s Law Center, told ABC News.

“There have been countless stories of people across the country being denied emergency care, forced to wait in their cars in parking lots while they are actively bleeding, or being sent to different hospitals with a bucket and told to leave the state that they’re in in order to get the care that they need,” Tanner said.
