WASHINGTON, DC – Today, U.S. Senator Jacky Rosen released the following statement condemning the Trump Administration’s dangerous decision to rescind federal guidance that required hospitals to provide emergency reproductive care and protected doctors and health care providers who perform abortions during life-threatening emergency cases, regardless of state bans on the procedure.
“The outrageous decision by the Trump Administration to get rid of federal requirements for hospitals to provide emergency abortions will have dire consequences for women in need of life-saving care,” said Senator Rosen. “Make no mistake – doctors will be arrested simply for doing their jobs and women will die as a result of this dangerous action by Donald Trump to implement his Project 2025 agenda. I’ll do everything I can to fight back against these dangerous anti-choice policies and push to restore Roe v. Wade.”
Senator Rosen has been fighting against extreme anti-choice efforts to restrict women’s reproductive freedoms. Last year, she voted to protect access to IVF and joined legislation to federally protect access to IVF treatments. Senator Rosen helped introduce the Let Doctors Provide Reproductive Health Care Act to protect doctors and other health care professionals from being prosecuted for providing reproductive care to their patients. She also voted to protect women’s constitutional right to access birth control.
