Reproductive Freedom for All Responds to Reported Decision in Supreme Court’s Emergency Abortion Care Case
Washington, DC — Today, Bloomberg reported that a decision in Idaho vs. United States, a case to determine if states can deny pregnant people emergency abortion care, was briefly posted to the Supreme Court’s website. According to the report, “The decision would reinstate a lower court order that had ensured hospitals in the state could perform emergency abortions” for instances of life endangerment. The briefly posted version indicated the majority will dismiss the case as ‘improvidently granted,’” the report continued.
Reproductive Freedom for All President and CEO Mini Timmaraju released the following statement:
“We agree with what Justice Ketanji Brown Jackson reportedly said—this is not a victory but a delay. The abortion bans that are putting people’s lives on the line in the first place will continue to remain on the books. We’re grateful that the Biden administration is fighting to preserve the shreds of access possible in states where anti-abortion extremists are doing everything in their power to block people from the care they need, even under the most dire of circumstances. We won’t forget who is responsible for these bans—Donald Trump and the MAGA Republicans who enabled him. Our rights are on the line, and we must send President Biden back to the White House to restore the federal right to abortion and end these bans once and for all.”
