The people of Idaho, through their elected representatives, decided to put the lives of women and their unborn children first. Under Idaho’s law, doctors will continue to care for women experiencing ectopic pregnancies, complications from miscarriage, and other life-threatening conditions. And Attorney General Labrador is doing his job to defend the law, which was not only duly enacted by the people of Idaho but is also perfectly consistent with EMTALA. The attorney general is standing with women and their families against the Biden administration’s lawlessness.

The Emergency Medical Treatment and Labor Act requires that emergency departments of a Medicare-receiving hospitals provide emergency care, regardless of the patient’s ability to pay. For the Biden Justice Department, emergency care must include abortion services.

Thankfully, Biden’s plans faced a number recent setbacks in the Supreme Court, and in D.C. Federal Appeals Court in their efforts to force Idaho and Texas, states with prolife laws, to provide abortion as essential emergency services in hospitals.
