Moyle v U.S.: Why did SCOTUS punt an abortion case?
Manage episode 428008609 series 2448292
The Emergency Medical Treatment and Labor Act, or EMTALA, says certain hospitals have to provide stabilizing care to patients. Until the Dobbs decision in 2022, that care included abortion if necessary. After Dobbs, though, states with strict abortion laws make it difficult if not impossible to abide by EMTALA. Idaho is one such state, the United States sued, and that case made its way to the Supreme Court. In June of 2024, however, the Court said it made a mistake. It never should have taken the case. So what happened? Hannah is inside the courtroom, Nick's waiting outside.
Listen to our episodes on federalism, Roe v Wade and precedent for some extra context on what we talk about here.
Finally, listen to Hannah's episode on what it was like to spend a day in the Supreme Court.
