The Florida health regulators issued new rules addressing how hospitals should keep medical records and which conditions trigger emergency abortion care under the state's law, following a U.S. Supreme Court ruling upholding emergency abortion care.
Doctors reported being required to airlift women to other states for emergency abortion care in Idaho due to a strict abortion ban, a situation the Supreme Court ruling aims to prevent.
The new rules in Florida specify exceptions in emergencies under the six-week abortion ban, including conditions like premature water breaking, ectopic pregnancy treatment, and trophoblastic tumor management.
Hospitals in Florida are now mandated by health regulators to have written policies and procedures in place for responding to emergency pregnancy complications threatening a woman's life, reviewed annually and updated as needed.
