A posting has appeared, temporarily, on the Supreme Court’s website that suggests the justices are about to decide to reject a new abortion case because it was “improvidently granted.”
Reports confirm that an opinion in the case, Moyle v. United States, appeared temporarily on the Supreme Court web page, then was removed.
The court confirmed in a statement that it was posted in error, and the opinion eventually will be announced in due course.
A report from national Right to Life explains the organization was hopeful for a ruling on the merits – whether the federal law requiring hospitals to provide emergency care would include a demand they do abortions on demand.
But the ruling, if finalized, would reinstate a lower court’s pause on an Idaho law while litigation continues. That law states that the federal government cannot force physicians in the state to perform abortions against their conscience.
Pro-abortion activists complained about the possible result, claiming “countless” pregnant patients have been denied “necessary care” due to the state statute.
