In response to Donald Trump rolling back efforts to protect emergency health care access for pregnant women, <\/em>DNC Spokesperson Aida Ross released the following statement: <\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cDonald Trump already \u2018proudly\u2019<\/a> \u2018terminated\u2019<\/a> Roe v. Wade,<\/em> and he is the reason women are dying across the country under extreme abortion bans. Now, Trump\u2019s administration is siding with one of the country\u2019s \u2018most restrictive\u2019<\/a> abortion laws, which makes it difficult for pregnant women to receive treatment in medical emergencies. Trump and his extreme anti-choice allies don\u2019t care about protecting women\u2019s lives \u2014 just about forcing women to live under cruel abortion bans nationwide.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Donald Trump is trying to end the Biden-Harris administration\u2019s efforts to ensure pregnant women can access emergency medical care in the face of extreme abortion bans. <\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Politico<\/a>: \u201cThe Trump administration is dropping a yearslong legal battle with Idaho over the right to an abortion in a medical emergency one day ahead of a major hearing \u2014 reversing its stance in one of the highest-profile cases it inherited from the Biden administration. \u2026<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cThe Biden administration\u2019s lawsuit against Idaho \u2014 a case the Supreme Court weighed and punted to lower court judges last year, saying it took up the issue prematurely \u2014 argued that Idaho\u2019s enforcement of its near-total abortion ban during medical emergencies violated Ronald Reagan-era patient protections known as EMTALA. \u2026<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cThe Heritage Foundation\u2019s Project 2025 \u2026. called on President Donald Trump to end all of the Biden administration\u2019s EMTALA investigations into hospitals that have turned pregnant patients away.\u201d<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Associated Press<\/a>: \u201cIdaho has one of the nation\u2019s most restrictive abortion laws. The hospital has previously said the laws forced them to fly women out of state for emergency care. \u2026<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cComplaints that pregnant women were turned away from U.S. emergency rooms spiked after the overturning of Roe v. Wade<\/strong> amid questions about what care they could legally provide, federal records showed.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

After laying the groundwork to rip away reproductive freedoms on Day One, Trump is plotting to ban abortion nationwide, gut medication abortion access, and defund Planned Parenthood. <\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

The New Republic<\/a>: \u201cTrump Sneaks Dangerous Rights for Fetuses Into Executive Order\u201d<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cBy describing a fetus as a person from conception, Trump has legitimized fetal personhood.<\/strong> \u2026 The legal language employed by fetal personhood also effectively categorizes any person receiving an abortion at any stage as a murderer.\u201d<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

NOTUS<\/a>: <\/strong>\u201cAnti-abortion advocates say having allies in the cabinet will set the tone for abortion policies in the administration. \u2026<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cTrump\u2019s agency picks could make changes that would have nationwide implications on abortion access.\u201d<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Trump<\/strong><\/a>: \u201cI was proudly the person responsible for the ending of \u2026 <\/strong>Roe v. Wade<\/em><\/strong>.\u201d<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Trump<\/a>: \u201cFor 54 years they were trying to get Roe v. Wade <\/em>terminated, and I did it, and I\u2019m proud to have done it. \u2026 Nobody else was going to get that done but me, and we did it, and we did something that was a miracle.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
