4. EMTALA should win. Not sure it will, of course.

This is ridiculous.

When a woman presents to the ER, because she is bleeding out or SEPTIC, she is not requesting an abortion. She is pleading for her life.

Those opposing this logic are just intent on imposing their anti-abortion stance. They are being obtuse and cruel.

And no one has objected to EMTALA as a naked power grab before we lost Roe, when it was used to help a woman in an emergent state of miscarriage.

Talk about a miscarriage. This is a miscarriage of justice.
