Senator Patty Murray has led Congressional Democrats in an amicus brief urging the Supreme Court to affirm that the Emergency Medical Treatment and Labor Act (EMTALA) requires hospitals to provide emergency stabilizing care, including abortion services, regardless of state laws. This comes amid reports that Republican abortion bans have delayed necessary medical care, leading to preventable deaths, as highlighted by the case of Amber Nicole Thurman in Georgia. MSNBC host Lawrence O'Donnell emotionally connected his mother's life-saving D&C procedure to current legislative actions, criticizing Donald Trump and George W. Bush for their roles in criminalizing such medical treatments. Kamala Harris has echoed these sentiments, attributing recent women's deaths to restricted access to abortion care and emphasizing the severe consequences of anti-abortion legislation. Both Harris and Murray have underscored the urgent need for protective measures in healthcare to ensure women's lives are not endangered by political decisions. The issue of abortion remains a pivotal topic in the upcoming 2024 presidential election, with candidates sharply divided on the matter.
