The Supreme Court just gave the green light to states (like Texas) to let hospitals refuse life-saving emergency care to women if it involves terminating a pregnancy. Voting for Democrats will help save the lives of women. Let's stop this horrific assault on American women.

CNN - Supreme Court won’t let Biden administration force Texas hospitals to provide emergency abortion care

Updated 10:00 AM EDT, Mon October 7, 2024

The Supreme Court on Monday left in place a court order blocking the Biden administration from enforcing in Texas its policy of requiring hospitals to provide emergency abortion care or risk losing federal funding.

The justices rejected a Justice Department request that they wipe away the lower-court ruling and send the case back down for more proceedings. That ruling had struck down guidance from the Department of Health and Human Services asserting that, under federal law, hospitals were obligated to offer abortion in medical emergencies even in states that ban the procedure.

The move is setback for the Biden administration in its uphill effort to assert some protections for abortion access since the Supreme Court overturned Roe v. Wade in 2022.

A journalist runs across the US Supreme Court plaza carrying an opinion to a news correspondent as the court handed down decisions on July 1, 2024, in Washington, DC.

Monday’s maneuver also keeps abortion off the Supreme Court’s docket – for now – after two major abortion cases last term, including one from Idaho raising very similar issues as the Texas dispute.

… knowing that they are allowing women to die from lack of care!

4. The so-called Pro-Life court

only believes in potential lives, it appears. Live, acting, breathing, thinking women don't matter, so just let them die. Plenty more where they came from - especially after the Supreme Six start banning contraception.

5. Who else remembers when hospitals in white communities could legally refuse even emergency care to Black people?

Just sayin’
