Bloomberg: SCOTUS opinion mistakenly posted shows 6-3 vote to allow emergency abortions in Idaho

The copy of the document inadvertently posted on the Supreme Court court’s website and reviewed by Bloomberg showed the justices voting 6-3 to allow the emergency abortions to take place in Idaho on a temporary basis while the case continues.

The Supreme Court’s decision “will prevent Idaho from enforcing its abortion ban when the termination of a pregnancy is needed to prevent serious harms to a woman’s health,” Justice Elena Kagan said in a concurring opinion, according to Bloomberg.

Justice Ketanji Brown Jackson wrote separately to say that she wouldn’t have dismissed the case, according to the document Bloomberg reviewed. “Today’s decision is not a victory for pregnant patients in Idaho,” Jackson wrote. “It is delay.”
