Expressing the importance of accurate information for medical professionals treating pregnant women and their unborn children in the emergency department, and for informing the general public, and for other purposes.

H. Res. 611 is a non-binding House resolution expressing the United States Congress’s view on the importance of clear, accurate information distinguishing life-saving medical care for ectopic pregnancies and miscarriages from elective abortion. It notes that after the Dobbs decision, there is confusion among some medical professionals and the public about when and how emergency treatment for ectopic pregnancy should be provided, and it emphasizes that such medical care is legal and distinct from abortion in all states. The resolution calls on medical organizations and educational institutions to ensure proper guidance and training so providers can treat ectopic pregnancies or miscarriages promptly and correctly, and so the public understands the legal difference between these medical interventions and elective abortion. The bill does not create new laws or funding. Instead, it expresses a policy wish list intended to reduce confusion in emergency departments and in public messaging, and to reinforce the ethical and clinical distinctions between treating life-threatening pregnancy complications and performing elective abortion.
