Supreme Court Rejects Attack On Emergency Abortion Care In Idaho
HuffPost
The ruling is a sigh of relief for abortion rights advocates, but even Justice Ketanji Brown Jackson warns that "storm clouds loom ahead."
The Supreme Court rejected an attack on emergency abortion care in Idaho in a Thursday morning ruling.
While the decision is a sigh of relief for many abortion rights advocates, many people ― including some Supreme Court justices ― are cautioning against calling it a win.
The ruling was “per curiam,” meaning it was unsigned. Six justices — Elena Kagan, Sonia Sotomayor, Ketanji Brown Jackson, Amy Coney Barrett, Brett Kavanaugh and Chief Justice John Roberts ― wrote concurring opinions. Justices Clarence Thomas, Samuel Alito, and Neil Gorsuch wrote dissents. The court reinstated a lower court ruling that allowed hospital emergency rooms in Idaho to perform emergency abortions to save the life and health of a pregnant person.
The decision is in line with the draft opinion that was accidentally published to the court’s website on Wednesday morning, setting off a flurry of activity and confusion for media and advocates on both sides of the issue. The opinion was removed from the site shortly after it was published.
