The Supreme Court made a huge win for the pro-life movement by allowing Idaho’s law banning abortions to go into effect, despite the Biden administration’s challenge. This law only allows abortions to be performed if it is necessary to save the life of the mother. It’s about time someone stood up for the sanctity of life!
What’s even more exciting is that the Supreme Court has agreed to hear the case in April. The case centers around the Biden administration’s attempt to force emergency room doctors in Idaho to perform abortions under the guise of the Emergency Medical Treatment and Labor Act of 1986 (EMTALA). Can you believe that? These doctors should not be forced to go against their religious or moral beliefs!

The Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) issued guidance claiming that EMTALA requires doctors to perform abortions on patients in emergency rooms when it is “the stabilizing treatment necessary.” But here’s the thing, EMTALA doesn’t even mention abortion! Congress never intended for this law to be used as a way to force doctors to perform abortions. Idaho is absolutely right in arguing that Congress did not write EMTALA with the intention of requiring emergency room physicians to perform abortions.
This is a victory for the people of Idaho who have made it clear that they value the lives of both the mother and the unborn child. We can’t let the Biden administration trample on the rights of states to make their own laws when it comes to such an important and sensitive issue. It’s time for Congress to step up and restore the protections of Roe v. Wade. Let’s protect the lives of the unborn and ensure that women have access to the healthcare they need without having to resort to abortion.
