Idaho Argues Pregnant Women Facing Amputations from Septic Shock Can't Get Emergency Abortions

The question of whether states can ban abortions when women’s health is in danger is unfortunately not a settled one. Recall that, in June, the Supreme Court said it shouldn’t have taken a case about Idaho’s abortion ban potentially conflicting with a federal law. Instead, the justices punted the case back to an appeals court, which heard arguments on Tuesday. The hearing was a bleak spectacle underscoring how the incoming Trump administration will torture women and pregnant people, including letting them have limbs amputated before they can have an abortion.

The case, Moyle v. United States, began in 2022 when the Biden administration sued Idaho arguing that its abortion ban, which lacks a health exception, violated the Emergency Medical Treatment and Active Labor Act. EMTALA is a federal law that requires emergency rooms to provide stabilizing care to patients, including abortion. After the Dobbs decision that overturned Roe v. Wade, the Biden administration sent out guidance, reminding ERs that they have to offer abortion if a pregnant patient’s life or health is threatened. Idaho disagreed, saying it has a right to regulate the practice of medicine and would only offer abortions if necessary to prevent death.

The Supreme Court heard arguments in April, then said in June that Idaho doctors can provide emergency abortions without fear of prosecution while the case continued in lower courts. Justice Ketanji Brown Jackson wrote in concurrence that the ruling was no cause for celebration. “Today’s decision is not a victory for pregnant patients in Idaho. It is delay,” she said. “But storm clouds loom ahead. Three Justices suggest, at least in this context, that States have free rein to nullify federal law.”

The court’s move ensured the case would be decided after the election, and that stories of pregnant women being airlifted to other states would stay out of the news. Donald Trump’s administration is expected to rescind Biden’s EMTALA guidance and drop the lawsuit against Idaho.

Don't understand why Idaho voters need to vote for such cruelty & barbarism.

13. That is truly an excellent question.

16. This article is from 2022 but is very eye-opening. For example, I did not know the Hyde Amendment

applied to Native American healthcare on reservations. Be sure to read it all.

18. In proposed this idea to Planned Parenthood at the beginning of 45's first term and their answer,

not an answer from the NA community, was no.

5. Idaho...

Owned and operated by the church.

6. Are Idahoans suffering from deep insanity? Must be.

[ananda]

8. I think the whole nation is.

This is the true collapse of the American psyche
as a whole and the society as a result.

[Clouds Passing]

20. Not all of us.

To many, the collapse of society causing mass insanity steels our resolve to greater awareness, sanity and higher consciousness. Be the calm in the eye of the storm.

[ananda]

21. Mass insanity is already here, and that's because...

our collective unconscious is baked in the idea
of mechanism instead of holism, and it means
that we, and I mean all of us, are basically
living in a world of chaos and dissolution.

Quantum physics has predicted this, and I
think it's accurate.

Turning to fascism is the result of trying to
find a way to get it under control. It never
works.

Einstein said that insanity is trying the same
thing over and over to get the result you do
not want.

That is where we are now.

It would take a total metaphysical change of
consciousness and our way of dealing with the
world to try to start to make things right.

But I have the feeling that it's too late now
because of climate change.

You can still try to talk me down, but this is
exactly what I would have expected based
on what I've learned over the years

[Clouds Passing]

22. I wasn't trying to talk you down, ananda

I was trying to relate the point that many (or some) of us are in the processes of the metaphysical changes of consciousness. Bringing compassion and love for ourselves and all life as a way of being is occurring now. We are moving towards a realm of higher consciousness by becoming aware of and changing the old patterns which are no longer serving anyone or thing. Peace, compassion and love as a lifestyle is attainable.

May I become able to end all suffering. Dalai Lama. I second that.

[ananda]

24. I do appreciate your pov, and I've thought about it often over the years.

My main question is: why is higher consciousness completely
ineffective at changing the world for the better.

It's all very nice, and I like the idea of it greatly... but I get
the feeling that it also means comiing to accept that the human
form of energy is coming to an end.

What it will transform to is another question, and I would love
to hear some ideas.

Thanks.
