Justices seem set to allow emergency abortions in Idaho for now, a prematurely posted opinion says

Associated Press

WASHINGTON (AP) — The Supreme Court appears poised to allow emergency abortions in Idaho when a pregnant patient’s health is at serious risk, as a legal case plays out. That’s according to a Bloomberg News report. Bloomberg says a copy of the opinion was briefly posted Wednesday on the court’s website. Bloomberg says the document suggests the court will conclude it shouldn’t have gotten involved in the case so quickly and will reinstate an order that had allowed hospitals in the state to perform emergency abortions to protect a pregnant patient’s health. Such an outcome would leave the issues at the heart of the case unresolved.
