The Supreme Court is set to consider a second abortion case this term, this time dealing with claims by a Republican-led state that the Biden administration is attempting to wield a 40-year-old federal law as an 'abortion mandate.' This case comes in the wake of a debate over the FDA's regulation of an abortion pill.
The high court will be examining whether the Emergency Medical Treatment and Labor Act (EMTALA) pre-empts Idaho's Defense of Life Act, a newly enacted law that criminalizes performing abortions except in cases of rape, incest, or to save the life of the mother.
