In response to Donald Trump ending guidance requiring hospitals to provide emergency reproductive health care to pregnant women, DNC Spokesperson Aida Ross released the following statement: 

“Donald Trump — the man who ‘proudly’ takes credit for overturning Roe v. Wade — has now overturned protections that guarantee emergency care for pregnant women. While women suffer under his draconian state abortion bans, Trump is making clear that he’d rather let them die on the table than get lifesaving care. This is Project 2025 — and Trump won’t stop until he’s put even more lives at risk with a national abortion ban.” 

The Trump administration overturned the Biden-Harris administration’s efforts to ensure pregnant women can access emergency medical care in the face of extreme abortion bans. 

Washington Post: “The Trump administration has rescinded Biden-era guidance requiring hospitals to provide emergency abortions when necessary to stabilize a patient’s health — even in states that ban the procedure. …

“The Biden administration had issued the guidance in July 2022, weeks after the Supreme Court overturned Roe v. Wade, ending the national right to abortion, to clarify that a federal law guaranteeing emergency care for patients in peril took precedence over state abortion bans. It later sued Idaho in federal court to enforce penalties against hospitals that disregarded the federal policy to adhere to the state’s strict abortion ban.”

Under his Project 2025 agenda, Trump is attacking women’s reproductive rights and trying to ban abortion nationwide while invading the privacy of millions of American women.
