Justices Will Weigh In on Emergency Abortions

“The Supreme Court said Friday it will review a case challenging Idaho’s strict abortion ban, which the Biden administration says conflicts with a federal law requiring emergency room doctors to perform the procedure in some circumstances,” the Washington Post reports.

“Idaho’s attorney general asked the justices to intervene after a lower court judge blocked a section of Idaho’s abortion statute targeting doctors that he said violates a federal law that requires hospitals receiving Medicare funding to guarantee emergency care.”
