At issue is a clash between federal and state law about how pregnant women must be treated in the emergency room. Specifically, whether a state may ban medical termination of a pregnancy if the woman's health, but not her life, is in grave danger.
Idaho and some states enacted laws banning emergency abortions unless the mother's life (not health) is in danger, contrary to EMTALA. Supreme Court justices raised concerns about real-life health scenarios affected by this restrictive law.
