At issue is an anti-choice law in Idaho that practically forbids all abortions, conflicting with the 40-year-old EMTALA, putting doctors in an impossible position of violating either law.
Idaho physicians facing the dilemma of either violating EMTALA by performing abortions or risking prison under the state law, leading to extreme measures like advising patients to get life flight insurance.
In response to the conflict between the Idaho anti-abortion law and EMTALA, some doctors are preparing to transfer patients to other states using life flight insurance, defying EMTALA's requirements for necessary stabilizing care.
