The Supreme Court ruled in a case centered on Idaho's abortion ban and federal law that requires emergency rooms to give “stabilizing treatments.'

The Supreme Court Thursday ruled that doctors in Idaho must – at least for now – be allowed to provide emergency abortions despite the state's near-total ban, in order comport with the federal law that requires emergency rooms to give 'stabilizing treatments' to patients in critical condition. In an unsigned opinion, the Court held that writs of certiorari in two cases involving the law were 'improvidently granted,' and vacated stays the Court granted earlier this year.

The DOJ sued the state, saying that the federal Emergency Medical Treatment and Labor Act requires health care providers to give 'stabilizing treatment' – including abortions – for patients when needed to treat an emergency medical condition, even if doing so might conflict with a state's abortion restrictions.
