      We urge the senate not to adopt any amendments on this bill. ❌Currently, amendment 74 was just rejected which would have added unnecessary qualifiers to the “standard of care”.

      ❌Amendment #65 was rejected. This would have diluted the bill and harmed patients.

      ❌Amendment #76 was rejected. This is good news. This amendment inappropriately attempts to legislate what would or would not constitute a violation of standard of care practices.

      ❌Amdmt #60 rejected. This would have allowed providers to be fired, demoted or disciplined for providing medically necessary care consistent with standard of care practices. This fails to sufficiently protect providers or pregnant patients.

      ❌Amndmt #64 rejected. (victory) This amendment would have unnecessarily attempted to limit the language around patient care.

      ❌amndmt #73 rejected. Lawmakers are not medical providers. The definition of “standard of care” is more appropriately left to the medical/health community. #waleg #ProtectPregnantPatients

      ❌amndmt #61 rejected. Patients should have the ability to sue to protect their rights.

          ❌amd #66 rejected. An individual who was outright refused to even be admitted to a hospital - should certainly have the same right to sue as a patient who is admitted but then has their care delayed/denied.

          @senpattykuderer on support of this bill, " no health care provider should have to choose between their job and treating a patient".

          SSB 5140 is NECESSARY because hospitals across our state are delaying and denying critical access to care for pregnant patients, simply based on a hospital's policies. This bill is critical. Our report details many of these life endangering events.https://www.aclu-wa.org/docs/report-protecting-pregnant-patients …

          Sen. Annette Cleveland in support of this bill, "Many women and pregnant people feel alone [when miscarrying]...can you imagine in the face of these painful circumstances being unable to obtain the necessary care you need from your provider."

          Big thank you and shout out to @senpattykuderer and Senator Annette Cleveland for being strong advocates for pregnant patients and individuals impacted by this bill. Thank you for supporting SSB 5140.
