Litigation Content
Why this Matters:
The plaintiff alleges that a hospital violated the Emergency Medical Treatment and Labor Act (EMTALA) by declining to provide any care to stabilize her pregnancy-related emergency condition. Ensuring that clinicians provide abortion services when required to stabilize a patient in a medical emergency situation enables patients to receive necessary life-saving care.
Potential Impact:
Preventing women from accessing stabilizing care in emergency situations, if that care requires an abortion, will put the health and safety of women in jeopardy.
