Trump administration moves to drop Idaho emergency abortion case
The Trump administration is dropping an emergency abortion case in Idaho in one of the administration’s first moves on the issue since President Donald Trump's second term began. The Justice Department filed a motion to dismiss the Biden administration lawsuit in a reversal that could have national implications for urgent care. The lawsuit had argued that emergency-room doctors treating pregnant women had to provide terminations if needed to save their lives or to avoid serious health consequences in Idaho, which has one of the country’s strictest abortion bans. The state argues that its law does allow life-saving abortions and the Biden administration wrongly sought to expand the exceptions.
