Idaho v. United States could have far-reaching consequences for abortion care. The justices must listen to the lived experiences and expertise of medical professionals on the front lines of the fight for abortion access. https://lnkd.in/em_nrQqy

About us
The Center for American Progress is a think tank dedicated to improving the lives of Americans through ideas and action. We combine bold policy ideas with a modern communications platform to help shape the national debate, expose the hollowness of conservative governing philosophy, and challenge the media to cover the issues that truly matter. Our work builds upon progressive ideals put forth by such leaders as Teddy Roosevelt, FDR, JFK, and Martin Luther King. We draw from the great social movements of the 20th century—from labor rights and worker safety, to civil rights and women's suffrage. We translate those values into new ideas and action firmly rooted in the economic and political realities of the 21st century.

There is currently a case being heard at the level of the Supreme Court (Idaho vs United States) that is challenging EMTALA and if abortion should be included under the definition of “medically stabilizing care.” The outcome of this case could have profound impacts on healthcare and open a floodgate or irreversible change. The movement to take away women’s reproductive rights has now moved into a new area where even in a life threatening situation, Idaho is arguing that abortion should not be allowed. Regardless of your opinion or belief system surrounding abortion, legislatures without medical training SHOULD NOT be writing laws deciding on who should and should not receive life-saving or stabilizing care. Please watch this video and please share it with as many people as you can. Knowledge is power.

A year ago, ProPublica revealed that far-right billionaires have been pampering Clarence Thomas with luxury vacations and other undisclosed benefits in an attempt to corrupt the Supreme Court.
