RN Sounds Alarm: Abortion Access Restrictions Threaten Patient Lives

The Trump administration's decision to revoke guidance on emergency abortion access has sparked widespread concern among healthcare providers. Registered Nurse Jen Hamilton, based in the US, shared her apprehension about the implications of this policy change. "I'm afraid for my patients," Hamilton stated, "that we will be consulting penal codes instead of evidence-based practices." This change, she explained, might incentivize hospitals to delay care until a patient is critically ill, raising ethical concerns. The video also highlights a case where a patient faced a life-threatening situation due to a septic pregnancy. Hamilton's testimony underscores the potential for increased risk and mortality among patients in states with strict abortion laws.
