The Supreme Court will conclude its term this week with two notable cases: one concerning access to abortion in emergency rooms and the other regarding former President Donald Trump’s immunity from federal criminal charges. These cases highlight the court’s significant impact on American law and politics, with potential implications for years to come. The Trump immunity case, scheduled for Thursday, could have far-reaching effects, potentially influencing the upcoming presidential election.
The Biden administration is implementing measures to protect abortion services and enhance patient privacy. A newly released rule places abortion data under HIPAA protections, safeguarding patient information in abortion-restrictive states. Additionally, the administration remains committed to defending its emergency medical care policy at the Supreme Court, ensuring that individuals receive necessary medical attention, including abortion services, in life-threatening situations.
