This legislation aims to protect access to emergency medical care and ensure that hospitals provide all necessary treatment to stabilize life-threatening conditions, regardless of state abortion laws. Recent incidents have demonstrated the critical need for such safeguards, as some hospitals have denied urgent care due to restrictive policies, putting patients at severe risk. The proposed protections would uphold the fundamental right to receive potentially life-saving treatment without delay or discrimination. Additionally, the bill supports healthcare providers' ability to openly discuss and provide accurate information about reproductive and gender-affirming care options. Ensuring unimpeded access to comprehensive medical services is vital for preserving bodily autonomy and preventing preventable harm. I urge you to prioritize the well-being of all individuals by supporting this crucial legislation.
