Bloomberg: SCOTUS opinion mistakenly posted shows 6-3 vote to allow emergency abortions in Idaho​

From CNN’s John Fritze
The copy of the document inadvertently posted on the Supreme Court court’s website and reviewed by Bloomberg showed the justices voting 6-3 to allow the emergency abortions to take place in Idaho on a temporary basis while the case continues.
The Supreme Court’s decision “will prevent Idaho from enforcing its abortion ban when the termination of a pregnancy is needed to prevent serious harms to a woman’s health,” Justice Elena Kagan said in a concurring opinion, according to Bloomberg.

Supreme Court allows emergency abortions in Idaho for now​

The court opted against deciding whether Idaho’s abortion ban conflicts with a federal law [EMTALA] that sets standards for hospital emergency room care, leaving legal question unresolved.

The court dismissed an appeal brought by Idaho officials, meaning a lower court ruling that allows doctors in the state to perform abortions in emergency situations remains in effect for now.

Justice Ketanji Brown Jackson, who objected to the court failing to decide the case, read her dissenting opinion from the bench, a step justices generally only take when they are particularly disgruntled with the outcome.

"There is simply no good reason not to resolve this conflict now," she wrote.

Sure there is. They know what direction they are going to rule and are trying to put it off until after the election.
