WASHINGTON (Reuters) – The White House on Monday criticized the U.S. Supreme Court’s decision not to hear a bid by President Joe Biden’s administration to enforce in Texas federal guidance requiring hospitals to perform abortions in emergencies.
Women being denied care in emergency situations is “completely unacceptable,” White House Press Secretary Karine Jean-Pierre said in a briefing.
“It is important to call this out. It is important to say how dangerous this is and how this is a freedom that has been taken away from women,” she said.
