(Worthy News) – The Trump administration has officially rescinded a controversial 2022 directive from the Biden administration that threatened to force emergency room physicians in pro-life states to perform abortions against their medical judgment and in defiance of state laws.

The reversal was announced Tuesday by the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS), which declared that it would “rectify any perceived legal confusion and instability” caused by the Biden-era guidance on the Emergency Medical Treatment and Labor Act (EMTALA).

“CMS will continue to enforce EMTALA, which protects all individuals who present to a hospital emergency department seeking examination or treatment,” the agency stated, emphasizing that this includes “emergency medical conditions that place the health of a pregnant woman or her unborn child in serious jeopardy.”

The original 2022 guidance, issued weeks after the Supreme Court overturned Roe v. Wade, was authored by then-HHS Secretary Xavier Becerra. It asserted that EMTALA superseded state abortion bans, effectively pressuring hospital staff to perform abortions or risk losing Medicare funding — a move critics slammed as an unconstitutional federal overreach.

“Led by Dr. Oz, the Trump administration has delivered another win for life and truth — stopping Biden’s attack on emergency care for both pregnant moms and their unborn children,” said Marjorie Dannenfelser, president of SBA Pro-Life America.

Dr. Ingrid Skop, vice president and director of medical affairs at the Charlotte Lozier Institute, welcomed the rescission, calling the Biden policy “never medically necessary.” She added, “Every state pro-life law already permitted physicians to intervene in a pregnancy emergency to protect a woman’s life. I have always been able to provide quality care in obstetric emergencies, seeking to preserve the lives of both mother and child.”

The Biden administration’s guidance sparked a wave of legal battles. The Department of Justice sued Idaho, claiming the state’s abortion law conflicted with EMTALA. But that case was quietly dropped by Trump’s DOJ in March, with both sides agreeing to a stipulation of dismissal.

The legal tide turned even further in October 2024, when the U.S. Supreme Court rejected the Biden administration’s request to overturn a lower court decision that blocked the abortion mandate in Texas emergency rooms.

Sen. Cindy Hyde-Smith (R-Miss.) praised the move to undo the Biden directive. “EMTALA is a decades-old statute that was originally designed to protect mother-patients and their unborn children in emergency situations,” she said. “The Biden administration manipulated the law’s purpose by issuing guidance that forced emergency room doctors to perform abortions, regardless of their states’ life-affirming laws.”

“Restoring EMTALA to its original purpose brings much-needed clarity to our incredible emergency room doctors across the country and peace of mind to the patients they serve,” Hyde-Smith added.

With the guidance now formally rescinded, pro-life advocates view the move as another victory in restoring states’ rights and reaffirming protections for both mothers and their unborn children in emergency medical situations.

    • You are coming up higher in this season – above the assignments of character assassination and verbal arrows sent to manage you, contain you, and derail your purpose. Where you have had your dreams and sleep robbed, as well as your peace and clarity robbed – leaving you feeling foggy, confused, and heavy – God is, right now, bringing freedom back -- now you will clearly see the smoke and mirrors that were set to distract you and you will disengage.

      Right now God is declaring a "no access zone" around you, and your enemies will no longer have any entry point into your life. Oil is being poured over you to restore the years that the locust ate and give you back your passion. This is where you will feel a fresh roar begin to erupt from your inner being, and a call to leave the trenches behind and begin your odyssey in your Christ calling moving you to bear fruit that remains as you minister to and disciple others into their Christ identity.

      This is where you leave the trenches and scale the mountain to fight from a different place, from victory, from peace, and from rest. Now watch as God leads you up higher above all the noise, above all the chaos, and shows you where you have been seated all along with Him in heavenly places where you are UNTOUCHABLE. This is where you leave the soul fight, and the mind battle, and learn to fight differently.

      You will know how to live like an eagle and lead others to the same place of safety and protection that God led you to, which broke you out of the silent prison you were in. Put your war boots on and get ready to fight back! Refuse to lay down -- get out of bed and rebuke what is coming at you. Remember where you are seated and live from that place.

      Acts 1:8 - “But you will receive power when the Holy Spirit has come upon you, and you will be my witnesses … to the end of the earth.”

    • Understanding the Enemy!

      I thought I write about the flip side of a topic, and how to recognize the attempts of the enemy to destroy lives and how you can walk in His victory!

      For the Apostle Paul taught us not to be ignorant of enemy's tactics and strategies.

      2 Corinthians 2:112  Lest Satan should get an advantage of us: for we are not ignorant of his devices. 

      So often, we can learn lessons by learning and playing "devil's" advocate.  When we read this passage,

      Mar 3:26  And if Satan rise up against himself, and be divided, he cannot stand, but hath an end. 
      Mar 3:27  No man can enter into a strong man's house, and spoil his goods, except he will first bind the strongman; and then he will spoil his house. 

      Here we learn a lesson that in order to plunder one's house you must first BIND up the strongman.  While we realize in this particular passage this is referring to God binding up the strongman (Satan) and this is how Satan's house is plundered.  But if you carefully analyze the enemy -- you realize that he uses the same tactics on us!  Your house cannot be plundered -- unless you are first bound.   And then Satan can plunder your house!

    • Abraham and Issac: Pictures of the Resurrection, Part 2
      Shalom everyone,

      As we continue this series the next obvious sign of the resurrection in the Old Testament is the sign of Isaac and Abraham.

      Gen 22:1  After these things God tested Abraham and said to him, "Abraham!" And he said, "Here I am."
      Gen 22:2  He said, "Take your son, your only son Isaac, whom you love, and go to the land of Moriah, and offer him there as a burnt offering on one of the mountains of which I shall tell you."

      So God "tests" Abraham and as a perfect picture of the coming sacrifice of God's only begotten Son (Yeshua - Jesus) God instructs Issac to go and sacrifice his son, Issac.  Where does he say to offer him?  On Moriah -- the exact location of the Temple Mount.
