The Biden administration is emphasizing the importance of pregnant women having access to emergency abortions when necessary to safeguard their health. This directive comes in response to a recent Supreme Court ruling.
In a letter addressed to doctors and hospital groups, Health and Human Services Secretary Xavier Becerra and Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services Director Chiquita Brooks-LaSure underscored that hospitals are legally obligated to offer stabilizing treatment, which includes abortions, to pregnant women in critical conditions.
