Texas is suing the Biden administration over guidance released Monday telling the nation's doctors they're protected by federal law to terminate a pregnancy as part of emergency treatment — and threatening to defund hospitals that don't perform these procedures.
The Biden administration's guidance states that federal law requires doctors to perform abortions for pregnant people in emergency rooms when it is "the stabilizing treatment necessary" to resolve a medical emergency, including treatments for ectopic pregnancy, hypertension and preeclampsia.
