If the government is right then it’s right. If an abortion is what’s needed to stabilize an emergent condition like excessively high blood pressure due to eclampsia or excessive bleeding due to ectopic then it must be done. These are life threatening and or life altering conditions. Could you imagine being permanently disabled because of a pregnancy gone wrong? Permanent disability such as kidney failure. It’s far easier to perform an abortion than to be on permanent hemodialysis for the rest of your life. Kidney dialysis is covered by medicare because it is considered a disability but doing an abortion is far cheaper than putting someone on permanent hemodialysis. EMTALA is right and we need this kind of protection from a theocratic autocratic regime put out by the Republican administration that has turned rogue.
