Supreme Court to hear arguments in emergency abortion case that could upend state bans

The case will determine whether Idaho’s strict abortion ban violates the Emergency Medical Treatment and Active Labor Act, a federal statute that requires hospitals to provide “necessary stabilizing treatment” to all patients.
