The U.S. Department of Health and Human Services says an Oklahoma hospital did not violate federal law when doctors told a woman with a nonviable pregnancy to wait in the parking lot until her condition worsened enough to qualify for an abortion under the state’s strict ban.

Jaci Statton, 26, was among several women last year who challenged abortion restrictions that went into effect in Republican-led states after the Supreme Court revoked the nationwide right to abortion in 2022.

Rather than join a lawsuit, Statton filed a complaint with the Department of Health and Human Services under the Emergency Medical Treatment and Labor Act, or EMTALA. The complaint came a little more than a year after Biden’s administration informed hospitals that they must provide abortion services if the mother’s life is at risk. At the time, President Joe Biden’s administration said EMTALA supersedes state abortion bans that don’t have adequate exceptions for medical emergencies.

The Biden administration’s denial of Statton’s claim is the latest development in the ongoing scrutiny over how to apply EMTALA in the wake of the Supreme Court ruling that overturned Roe v. Wade. It also underscores the uphill legal battle reproductive rights advocates when pushing back against state abortion bans.

It's the nurses' fault for not telling their doctor bosses to go fuck themselves, it's the doctors' fault for not telling the hospital admins to go fuck themselves, it's the admins' fault for not telling state lawmakers to go fuck themselves, it's state lawmakers' fault for passing horrific laws that call for this kind of medical malpractice, and it's the administration's fault for not telling hospital admins and state lawmakers to go fuck themselves

Like I said, plenty of blame to go around here

e: now with apostrophes

e2; and completed sentences!
