U.S. Senate Finance Committee investigates eight strict-abortion-law hospitals for delayed or denied care.

The U.S. Senate Finance Committee is investigating eight hospitals in states with strict abortion laws, following reports of delayed or denied care for patients. This inquiry is spurred by the 2022 death of Amber Thurman, who suffered complications after an abortion pill and waited 20 hours for treatment in Georgia. The committee seeks to ensure compliance with the Emergency Medical Treatment and Labor Act, which mandates care for all emergency patients.
