Biden administration had argued hospitals receiving Medicare funds are required to provide emergency care, including abortion
The US supreme court on Friday allowed Idaho to enforce its strict abortion ban, even in medical emergencies, while a legal fight continues.
The justices said they would hear arguments in April and put on hold a lower court ruling that had blocked the Idaho law in hospital emergencies, based on a lawsuit filed by the Biden administration.
Hospitals that receive Medicare funds are required by a federal law to provide emergency care, potentially including abortion, no matter if there’s a state law banning abortion, the administration argued.
The legal fight followed the court’s decision to overturn Roe v Wade and allow states to severely restrict or ban abortion. The Joe Biden White House issued guidance about the law, the Emergency Medical Treatment and Labor Act – or Emtala – two weeks after the high court ruling in 2022. The Democratic administration sued Idaho a month later.
Abort the Supreme court.
We just need a bunch of people to knock up republican politician’s daughters, and we will see how fast they find a way to get an abortion.
That happens all the time. They either fly the kid someplace or just have a private doctor, not keep a record. Laws for thee not for me.
