Supreme Court Hears Case on Idaho Abortion Ban & Emergency Care
1 hour, 54 minutesThe Supreme Court formally dismissed Moyle v. United States, a consolidated case they heard back in April 2024 on whether a federal law allowing emergency abortion care at hospitals receiving Medicare funding preempts Idaho's ban on nearly all abortions. This dismissal left in place a lower court's order temporarily blocking Idaho from enforcing its near-total ban on abortions. Under the 2020 Defense of Life Act there are very limited exceptions for abortions. One can only occur if it is "necessary to prevent the death of the pregnant woman" or in cases of rape or incest. This law took effect in August 2022 after the Supreme Court overturned Roe v. Wade. The Biden administration filed suit against Idaho arguing its abortion law conflicts with the 1986 Emergency Medical Treatment and Labor Act (EMTALA) which requires emergency care including abortions if needed.
