Trump Administration Drops Biden-Era Abortion Lawsuit Against Idaho

Read MoreThe Trump Administration’s Department of Justice (DOJ) has formally dismissed a lawsuit against the state of Idaho that had been brought by the Biden Administration in opposition to the state’s pro-life law.As ABC News reports, the lawsuit had claimed that Idaho’s law – which enacts a near-total ban on abortion – was in violation of the Emergency Medical Treatment and Active Labor Act (EMTALA). The federal law requires all hospitals funded by Medicare to provide “stabilizing care” to any patient whose health is threatened. Although the Idaho law allows exemptions for cases of rape, incest, or whenever “necessary to prevent the death of the pregnant woman,” the Biden-era lawsuit argued that EMTALA overrides the state law since it requires abortions for any cases of serious health risk, not just the risk of death.
