Washington Governor Jay Inslee announced on Tuesday that the state will be enacting a law mandating hospitals to offer abortions in emergency situations to stabilize patients. This move comes in anticipation of an upcoming U.S. Supreme Court ruling that could potentially allow conservative states to restrict access to abortions during medical emergencies.
While there have been no reported cases of patients being denied emergency abortions in Washington, Governor Inslee emphasized the importance of ensuring that hospitals are obligated to provide such services when necessary to safeguard patients' health.
