🚨BREAKING NEWS: Today, the U.S. Supreme Court announced its decision to protect EMTALA for now, a 40-year-old federal law that protects people’s right to emergency medical care — including abortion. SCOTUS dismissed the EMTALA case stopping Idaho from enforcing its abortion ban when it conflicts with EMTALA. This means doctors can't turn away patients in need of an emergency abortion. However, SCOTUS didn't say if EMTALA overrules state abortion bans, leaving the issue unclear and letting existing laws or lower court rulings continue to apply. 👀 Stay tuned with more info to come. #SCOTUS #EMTALA #SupremeCourt #Healthcare #Abortion
