Know your rights. Find out what you can expect if the unfortunate scenario of a pregnancy emergency occurs. If you or a loved one is pregnant, talk to doctors and hospitals about their emergency care policies, especially if you live in a state where abortion is restricted to any extent.

Talk to those in your community about the status of EMTALA. You can find local groups—including local ACLU affiliates—working on and teaching about these issues. Local groups may have additional ideas on how to become more involved.
