, some doctors and hospitals are grappling with how to balance state-specific abortion bans with a federal law requiring they provide treatment to patients in medical emergencies. On Monday, the Biden administration sought to clarify such confusion, with federal health officials issuing guidance that said hospitals “must provide” abortions if a pregnant person requires it to medically stabilize.
