💨 Abstract
This article describes the Trump administration's decision to rescind a 2022 federal policy that required hospitals to offer abortions as emergency care, impacting women faced with severe medical complications. Despite this guidance, many women were still denied care, prompting legal challenges. The Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services will continue enforcing emergency care mandates but aims to clarify legal concerns. Meanwhile, a Supreme Court case remains unresolved regarding doctors' rights to perform abortions for serious complications under state bans.
