And I'm going to finish here because I know Dick is an essential piece to our conversation here, but let me just say, and it's not just the Trump administration, it is the people he's put into office. Yes. If you have a Department of Justice that says for FACE Act violators, we're only going to prosecute extraordinary circumstances, that has no effect on somebody who wants to stop a clinic or be there or protest. If you have Robert F. Kennedy Jr. Who oversees CMS and the enforcement of EMTALA, who doesn't understand the law or what it means, they're not going to enforce these provisions to protect a women's safety when they present at emergency care.

CLAIM

Asserts that the Department of Justice under the Trump administration limited prosecutions for FACE Act violations to extraordinary circumstances.
