Last week, the Supreme Court dismissed Idaho's challenge to doctors' ability to provide emergency abortions, allowing Emergency Medical Treatment and Labor Act (EMTALA) to offer some relief to physicians. However, the ruling still leaves uncertainty for pregnant women in Idaho and nationwide, as EMTALA protection remains unclear, leading to confusion, chaos, and potential harm to patients.
