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.
