Trump Order to Hospitals on Emergency Abortions ‘Means Women Will Die,’ Warn Advocates
Fatima Goss Graves, president and CEO of the National Women’s Law Center, emphasized that the CMS action “doesn’t change hospitals’ legal obligations, but it does add to the fear, confusion, and dangerous delays patients and providers have faced since the fall of Roe v. Wade.”
“Stripping away federal guidance affirming what the law requires will put lives at risk,” said Goss Graves. “At the same time, this administration claims it is considering ways to support ‘population growth,’ but it is actively dismantling the systems that protect pregnant people’s health and lives. The hypocrisy is staggering. No matter what political games the administration wants to play, we will continue to stand with the patients, doctors, and hospitals fighting every day to do what is right.”
