In the lead-up to the recent elections, Democrats\u200d heavily focused \u2064on abortion, spending $570 \u2063million on related TV ads. Vice President Kamala\u200b Harris claimed that pro-life laws endangered women&#8217;s lives by preventing necessary medical care during \u200demergencies, \u2063which has been labeled as \u200cmisinformation as \u2064all states with pro-life laws provide exceptions for life-threatening situations.<\/p>\n<p>Despite losing in the elections,which critics \u2063believe should have prompted the\u200d Democrats to reconsider their stance on abortion,the Biden administration continues to <a href=\"https:\/\/amzn.to\/3YuVZYV\">challenge\u2064 pro-life laws<\/a> using taxpayer\u2062 resources. The administration is allegedly distorting the intent of EMTALA, \u2064originally\u200c established to\u2064 ensure emergency \u200bcare for patients regardless of their ability to pay, by pushing for its enforcement to include abortion care following the reversal of Roe v.\u2063 Wade.

In their last 30 days, the federal government is continuing its quest to dismantle Idaho&rsquo;s pro-life law by twisting the Emergency Medical Treatment and Labor Act (EMTALA). &nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>Democrats went all in on the issue of abortion this election. According to AdImpact, Democrats spent&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/sbaprolife.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/11\/win-memo.pdf\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">$570 million<\/a>&nbsp;on abortion-focused TV ads for federal races during the general election. And even though failed presidential candidate Kamala Harris struggled to form coherent sentences on most topics, she was animated on abortion.<\/p>\n<p>She and her party repeated one central lie to the American people: pro-life laws kill women. In a September <a href=\"https:\/\/thehill.com\/homenews\/campaign\/4883298-kamala-harris-donald-trump-georgia-abortion-law\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">statement<\/a>, Harris summed up this point, saying, &ldquo;In more than 20 states, Trump abortion bans are preventing doctors from <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/kamala-harris-uses-malicious-disinformation-in-attempt-to-score-political-points-off-of-womans-death\/\" title=\"Kamala Harris Uses &#039;Malicious Disinformation&#039; in Attempt to Score Political Points Off of Woman&#039;s Death\">providing basic medical care<\/a>. Women are bleeding out in parking lots, turned away from emergency rooms, losing their ability to ever have children again.&rdquo;&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>They knew this was a blatant lie because <a href=\"https:\/\/lozierinstitute.org\/pro-life-laws-protect-mom-and-baby-pregnant-womens-lives-are-protected-in-all-states\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">every single state<\/a> with a pro-life law has a life of the mother exception that allows pregnant women to receive care for miscarriage, ectopic pregnancy, and other medical emergencies. Under every such law, doctors can continue to rely on their reasonable medical judgment to treat pregnant women. Despite what the actual laws say, Democrats did not care. They continued to push misinformation &mdash; rhetoric that endangers pregnant women and their children.&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>Thankfully, Americans saw through their lies and Harris lost. You&rsquo;d think that would teach Democrats to stop pushing abortion misinformation, but unfortunately it hasn&rsquo;t. The Biden administration is using taxpayer dollars to push this lie with a <a href=\"https:\/\/sbaprolife.org\/newsroom\/press-releases\/biden-harris-continue-weaponization-of-govt-against-pro-life-states-and-unborn-children\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">legal attack<\/a> on Idaho&rsquo;s pro-life law under the administration&rsquo;s interpretation of the EMTALA.<\/p>\n<h2>Twisting EMTALA<\/h2>\n<p>EMTALA was created back in the 1980s in response to disturbing reports of patients who were refused treatment in hospital emergency rooms due to their inability to pay.&nbsp;Some of these patients were pregnant women who were refused care even as they were in labor. The law was put in place to protect quality care for mothers and their children &mdash; it never mentioned nor required abortion. But&nbsp;in a kneejerk reaction to the reversal of&nbsp;<em>Roe v. Wade<\/em> by the&nbsp;<em>Dobbs&nbsp;<\/em>decision<em>,<\/em>&nbsp;the Biden administration decided to force abortion into the federal EMTALA law. They issued baseless <a href=\"https:\/\/www.hhs.gov\/about\/news\/2024\/07\/02\/biden-harris-administration-reaffirms-commitment-emtala-enforcement.html#:~:text=In%202022%2C%20CMS%20issued%20guidance,abortion%20care%20in%20certain%20situations.\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">guidance<\/a> requiring emergency room medical personnel to perform &ldquo;stabilizing&rdquo; abortions in certain circumstances, ignoring that the EMTALA law&rsquo;s <a href=\"https:\/\/legislature.idaho.gov\/statutesrules\/idstat\/title18\/t18ch6\/sect18-622\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">text<\/a> covers pregnant women&nbsp;<em>and their unborn children<\/em>.<\/p>\n<p>Under their distorted interpretation of the <a href=\"https:\/\/legislature.idaho.gov\/statutesrules\/idstat\/title18\/t18ch6\/sect18-622\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">law<\/a>, the Biden administration <ins><a href=\"https:\/\/www.justice.gov\/opa\/pr\/justice-department-sues-idaho-protect-reproductive-rights\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">sued<\/a><\/ins>  Idaho over its state protections for babies in the womb.&nbsp;In June of this year, the <ins><a href=\"https:\/\/sbaprolife.org\/newsroom\/press-releases\/the-fight-continues-with-official-release-of-scotus-emtala-opinion\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Supreme Court<\/a><\/ins>  sent the case back to the lower court and left Idaho&rsquo;s pro-life law in place.&nbsp;The Democrats&rsquo; fight hit a flashpoint last week, when their case against the Idaho law resumed as the <a href=\"https:\/\/sbaprolife.org\/newsroom\/press-releases\/biden-harris-continue-weaponization-of-govt-against-pro-life-states-and-unborn-children\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">9<sup>th<\/sup>&nbsp;Circuit<\/a> heard this case.<\/p>\n<h2>Two Problems with Biden Administration&rsquo;s Case<\/h2>\n<p>There are two big problems with the federal government&rsquo;s case. First, Idaho&rsquo;s law not only protects unborn children but also their mothers. The state&rsquo;s life of the mother exception <a href=\"https:\/\/lozierinstitute.org\/pro-life-laws-protect-mom-and-baby-pregnant-womens-lives-are-protected-in-all-states\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">safeguards<\/a> women who experience a medical emergency during pregnancy. During <a href=\"https:\/\/www.supremecourt.gov\/oral_arguments\/audio\/2023\/23-726\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">oral arguments<\/a> in front of the Supreme Court, the Biden-Harris Department of Justice failed to raise a single diagnosis that would not already be covered under the life of the mother provision.<\/p>\n<p>The second major problem is that there is no mention of abortion in the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.law.cornell.edu\/uscode\/text\/42\/1395dd\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">EMTALA law<\/a> and the unborn child is explicitly mentioned and included in&nbsp;EMTALA&rsquo;s text. In fact, it is one of the key federal laws that acknowledges the humanity of the child in the womb. The requirement to provide life-sustaining treatment for the unborn child is referenced&nbsp;four times.&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h2>Americans Reject the Lie<\/h2>\n<p>The reality is this court case is not about the facts. This is another attempt by the Biden-Harris regime and Democrats to further push their failed strategy of abortion on everyone and scare Americans about women&rsquo;s ability to receive care. Democrats and the abortion lobby desperately need this lie to continue because their agenda for all-trimester abortion is <a href=\"https:\/\/sbaprolife.org\/polling\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">wildly unpopular<\/a>. Moral extortion is the only way for them to continue along this political path.<\/p>\n<p>Thankfully, voters saw through their lies in November. And despite the nearly half a billion dollars the Democrats invested in abortion TV ads, the pro-life party won the White House, the House, and the Senate in the first presidential election since&nbsp;<em>Roe&nbsp;<\/em>fell. Voters rejected this lie on Election Day and the 9<sup>th<\/sup>&nbsp;Circuit judges should reject it now. Americans should stand with Attorney General Raul Labrador as he defends Idaho&rsquo;s right to protect unborn children and their mothers.<\/p>\n<hr>\n<p>      Kelsey Pritchard is the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/arkansas-attorney-general-tim-griffin-rejects-abortion-activists-deceptive-ballot-measure\/\" title=\"Arkansas AG Tim Griffin denies deceptive abortion ballot measure by activists\">state public affairs director<\/a> for Susan B.
