The Supreme Court allowed abortions to be performed during medical emergencies in Idaho. The 6-3 decision reinstated a lower court order that blocked the state's near-total abortion ban when needed to preserve the mother's health. The dispute was between Idaho's abortion ban after Roe v. Wade was overturned and a federal law that requires hospitals to offer abortions when needed to stabilize a patient's emergency condition. The case will likely return to the Supreme Court after more legal proceedings in lower courts.
