Supreme Court reportedly appears to side with Biden admin in abortion case, according to draft briefly posted

reports, citing a document that was inadvertently posted on the court's website in an astonishing breach of protocol.

A dismissal would let stand an opinion from the full 9th US Circuit Court of Appeals that sided with the Biden administration in the case. Such a ruling is a win for the Biden administration and will be a relief to Idaho women who fear medical complications from their pregnancies could jeopardise their heath.

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. The Department of Justice and the White House declined to comment on Bloomberg's story and the mistakenly posted document until the Supreme Court's official opinion is released.Case was heard in April

Congress enacted EMTALA to stop hospitals from turning away patients who could not afford their care. The law does not specify which procedures hospitals must perform to stabilise patients and Idaho accused the Biden administration of wrongly interpreting the Reagan-era law to "create a nationwide abortion mandate in hospital emergency rooms". The state also argued that changes to the abortion law since its enactment meant doctors could adhere to EMTALA and the ban simultaneously.
