WASHINGTON, D.C. — Democratic Whip Katherine Clark (MA-5) released the following statement on the Supreme Court’s decision regarding the Emergency Medical Treatment and Active Labor Act (EMTALA):

“While the women of Idaho can breathe a sigh of relief today, the Supreme Court has senselessly declined to affirm the universal right to emergency medical care. The fact that this is still in question underscores the dark reality of post-Roe America. 

“This is just one front in the struggle for reproductive freedom. If given the chance, Donald Trump and his MAGA followers will ban abortion nationwide, pull birth control off the shelf, and shut down fertility treatments like IVF. 

“For the sake of our daughters and granddaughters, we must win the fight for freedom over extremism.”
