Texas doctors do not need to perform emergency abortions, court rules
wapo.st
A federal appeals court on Tuesday ruled that Texas hospitals and doctors are not obligated to perform abortions under a longstanding national emergency-care law, dealing a blow to the White House's strategy to ensure access to the procedure after the Supreme Court overturned the constitutional right to abortion in 2022.

Is there such a thing as murder by inaction? As in you could have prevented a death by taking action, and you didn't? Sounds like this might be it.
Social Murder could be the term, but there may be a more suited one.
Social murder (German: sozialer Mord) is the unnatural death that occurs due to social, political, or economic oppression.

In Texas it's called Negligent Homicide.
Yes, very much. Like murder by homeless sweeps destroying life saving medications. But out society accepts that much more than something like a classical murder.
