In the case of high-risk pregnancies, it should be possible to have an abortion, regardless of state laws.
The Biden administration has now invoked a federal law that came into force in 1986 following the recent ruling by the Supreme Court, which resulted in abortion being banned in several US states. According to this, hospitals have to treat medical emergencies, and thus also high-risk pregnancies. Women whose physical health or even their lives are endangered by pregnancy should therefore retain their right to an abortion nationwide.
BuzzFeed.de writes about the fact that the Biden administration wants to protect abortions in life-threatening pregnancies by the state.
