Supreme Court briefly leaks opinion allowing Idaho abortions
Court says publication on its website was "inadvertent" and that a final ruling has not been made.
The US Supreme Court accidentally leaked a major opinion on abortion rights, appearing ready to overturn part of Idaho's near-total ban.
According to a document published on the court's website then quickly removed, justices will rule that Idaho cannot deny emergency abortions to women whose health is in danger.
The court said the opinion, initially obtained by Bloomberg, was "inadvertently and briefly" published, and that its final decision had "not been released" but would be presented in due course.
Its publication however comes two years after the leaking of the court's decision to overturn the national right to abortion access, known as Roe v Wade.
Ok, maybe if you're dying you can get the healthcare treatment that you need.
If you can find a doctor/hospital who will open themselves up to litigation and if you can get there. But you'd better be on the cusp of death!
Are we not merciful?!?
64But at least the baby's life was saved, right?
Right?
14As long as it’s pre-birth, and excluding any prenatal care because that might benefit the mother.

Nobody relax.
This is like the bullshit mifepristone case-they didn't up hold reproductive rights on their merits. It's kicking the can. Overturning Roe got people to the polls in anger, they don't want a repeat of that this November.
They are counting on people not reading more than a headline and tuning out until after it is too late.
47I'm sure Idaho will clearly define "emergency" or "life threatening" so Doctors won't be worried about facing criminal charges for performing an emergency abortion. If you believe that I've also got a bridge that's for sale in the Brooklyn area.
9Idaho should be relying on the doctors to define these things and make the call, not the other way around
6Absolutely, the fact that politics are involved is horrific.

I really hate that the Supreme Court has borrowed the P2W "early access" model from shitty video games
