After the Supreme Court overturned Roe v. Wade, the Biden administration issued guidance on the Emergency Medical Treatment and Active Labor Act (EMTALA) to say that emergency care at Medicare-funded hospitals includes abortion care.
So why, when there has been a clear violation of that, did the administration side with the hospital over the patient who needed care and throw doctors under the bus?
This week, Jess and Imani get into Jaci Statton's case—the perfect example of what's wrong with relying on EMTALA to enforce abortion rights.
