Issues
Litigation Content
Why this Matters
A large health system in Idaho alleges that it cannot comply with an Idaho law prohibiting abortions unless necessary to save the life of the mother because the state law is preempted by the Emergency Medical Treatment and Labor Act (EMTALA). Ensuring that clinicians provide abortion services when required to stabilize a patient in a medical emergency situation enables patients to receive necessary life-saving care.
Potential Impact
Preventing women from accessing stabilizing care in emergency situations, if that care requires an abortion, will put the health and safety of women in jeopardy.
