The Daily Wire has the story:

Under Biden, EMTALA guidance forced hospitals and pro-life health care workers to provide abortions if it’s deemed necessary stabilizing treatment. Critics decried the guidance as unlawful and a rejection of conscience protections.

“The Department of Health and Human Services and Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (‘CMS’) are rescinding July 2022 guidance from CMS with the subject ‘Reinforcement of EMTALA Obligations specific to Patients who are Pregnant or are Experiencing Pregnancy Loss,” a press release from CMS said, adding that such guidance no longer reflects the policy of this administration.

“CMS will continue to enforce EMTALA, which protects all individuals who present to a hospital emergency department seeking examination or treatment, including for identified emergency medical conditions that place the health of a pregnant woman or her unborn child in serious jeopardy,” the statement added. “CMS will work to rectify any perceived legal confusion and instability created by the former administration’s actions.”

The Daily Wire notes that pro-lifers were quick to celebrate the decision. Roger Servino of The Heritage Foundation, for example, highlighted on X how the 2022 guidance “refused to acknowledge that the law protected mothers, or even women. Instead calling them ‘pregnant patients.'” He ended his post by declaring that “a stain on America’s conscience is now gone.”

Ever since returning to office, President Trump had continued his pro-life agenda from his previous term, signing order to prevent taxpayer funding for abortion. The HHS has adopted a pro-life agenda as well, as HHS Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr. recently ordered a review of the dangerous abortion pill.

Let’s thank God for this decision, and let’s pray that the Trump administration continues to fight for religious freedom and the unborn!
