Supreme Court Hears Case on Idaho Abortion Ban and Federal Emergency Care Law

The U.S. Supreme Court heard arguments on Wednesday in a case testing the constitutionality of state abortion bans that have been enacted since the court overturned Roe v. Wade. The case involves an Idaho abortion ban that conflicts with a federal law requiring emergency room doctors to stabilize patients, regardless of the medical treatment needed. The Biden administration argues that the state law violates the federal law, while Idaho maintains that the law only applies to ensuring that patients without health insurance are treated. The court’s ruling could have implications for abortion access and emergency care in many states beyond Idaho.
