Fears of Another Supreme Court Assault on Abortion Rights Grow After Idaho Ruling



By Common Dreams — August 27, 2022

Reproductive rights advocates on Wednesday applauded a federal court ruling in Idaho allowing doctors to provide abortion care in cases of medical emergencies, but legal experts warned the decision could mark the beginning of the next fight over abortion rights at the U.S. Supreme Court.

Judge B. Lynn Winmill of Idaho's Federal District Court ruled that the state's near-total ban on abortion care violates the Emergency Medical Treatment and Labor Act of 1986 (EMTALA), siding with the U.S. Department of Justice.

The DOJ sued Idaho over the ban, arguing that doctors are required under EMTALA to provide stabilizing medical treatment to anyone who comes to an emergency department, and that includes pregnant patients who need abortions to treat medical emergencies.

2. Maybe congress should vote on it now in case we lose the majority after the next election

I realize that you need a super majority in the senate but they can always vote in congress right now right?

3. If it passes in the House but dies in the Senate...

They would have to start again from scratch in early January when the new House and Senate takes office. The day the the new Congressman and Senators take office is the day all bills stuck in limbo are scrapped.
