The Trump administration on Tuesday revoked a key federal directive that required hospitals to provide emergency abortions in cases where a pregnant woman’s life or health was at serious risk. The guidance, issued in 2022 by the Biden administration, came weeks after the US Supreme Court overturned Roe v. Wade. It was intended to ensure abortion access in critical medical emergencies, such as severe haemorrhage or organ failure, even in states that had enacted near-total abortion bans.
