Supreme Court allows emergency abortion access in Idaho for now – ABC News

By Thomas A. Smith

The Supreme Court on Thursday issued a ruling that will allow emergency abortion access in Idaho, for now, despite the state’s strict ban on the procedure.

The court dismissed the case without considering the core issues, instead sending it back to the lower courts for further proceedings.

The move reinstates a federal district court’s ruling that a federal law requiring emergency rooms to provide stabilizing care to all patients preempts Idaho’s abortion ban when a women’s health is at risk.
