An appeals court has temporarily restricted the enforcement of Idaho's near-total abortion ban in medical emergencies. The appeals court will reconsider the case with an 11-judge panel.
A federal appeals court on Tuesday temporarily limited Idaho's ability to enforce its near-total abortion ban in medical emergencies while it weighs in on a legal challenge to the ban by the Biden administration. A three-judge panel of the San Francisco-based 9th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals last month allowed the state to enforce its ban, reversing a lower court order that had partially blocked it.
The Supreme Court overturned Roe in June 2022. Democratic President Joe Biden's administration sued Idaho last August, saying the state ban conflicted with the Emergency Medical Treatment and Labor Act , a federal law requiring hospitals to 'stabilize' patients with emergency medical conditions. The administration said that could potentially require abortions that would not be included under Idaho's narrow exception for saving the mother's life. U.S.
