In today’s Quickie: U.S. Supreme Court issues official opinion in emergency abortion care case.

PRESS CALL AT 1PM TO DISCUSS SCOTUS REFUSAL TO TELL STATES THEY CANNOT BAN ABORTIONS IN EMERGENCIES, ALLOWING IDAHO CASE TO CONTINUE IN LOWER COURTS: After yesterday’s inadvertent release of a draft decision in the consolidated cases about a long-standing federal law that protects emergency abortion care in hospital emergency rooms today, the U.S. Supreme Court issued its official opinion in the case.

As Alexis McGill Johnson, president and CEO of Planned Parenthood Federation of America explained, “This decision is unconscionable. For nearly six months, as a direct result of the U.S. Supreme Court’s actions, Idahoans have been denied access to emergency abortion care. While access to emergency abortion care has been restored in Idaho for now, the court had the opportunity today to make clear that the federal EMTALA law protects pregnant patients’ access to emergency abortion care in every state. Instead, the court has kicked the can down the road, leaving access to emergency care for pregnant people across the country under threat.”

To discuss the consequences of this case, Alexis will join a press call today at 1pm with NWLC and other partners. Those interested in attending can register here.
