Judge blocks part of Idaho’s new abortion law in first post-Roe lawsuit by the Biden administration
NBCJUL 2022
The ruling in Idaho is a poor interpretation of the Emergency Medical Treatment and Active Labor Act, which is why the courts should eventually side with the decision made in Texas. Idaho's law is in no way a violation of federal law.
Though the Biden admin.'s fight to protect abortion rights isn't over, the ruling in Idaho is a big win after a wave of states tried to strip women of their most basic reproductive rights. With the temporary injunction in place, the DOJ must now prepare to further defend EMTALA in any future litigation.
