Supreme Court lets stand a decision barring emergency abortions that violate Texas ban (apnews.com)

WASHINGTON (AP) — The Supreme Court on Monday let stand a decision barring emergency abortions that violate the law in Texas, which has one of the country’s strictest abortion bans.

Without detailing their reasoning, the justices kept in place a lower court order that said hospitals cannot be required to provide pregnancy terminations that would violate Texas law.

The Biden administration had asked the justices to throw out the lower court order, arguing that hospitals have to perform abortions in emergency situations under federal law. The administration pointed to the Supreme Court’s action in a similar case from Idaho earlier this year in which the justices narrowly allowed emergency abortions to resume while a lawsuit continues.

The administration also cited a Texas Supreme Court ruling that said doctors do not have to wait until a woman’s life is in immediate danger to provide an abortion legally. The administration said it brings Texas in line with federal law and means the lower court ruling is not necessary.

What happened to SCOTUS not stirring things up less than a month before the election? I'm actually glad they did this, as it will motivate a lot of people to vote DEM.

RBG must be rolling in her grave over what's happened to her beloved court.

She was a great justice, and not retiring was the greatest mistake of her career. Anyone doing Zombie RBG for Hallowe'en?

It's more than little bit her fault. She should have stepped down when she had the chance. She was WAY too old to be on that court. She died at EIGHTY SEVEN years old.

Lawyer and author Linda Hirshman believed that, in the lead-up to the 2016 U.S. presidential election, Ginsburg was waiting for candidate Hillary Clinton to beat candidate Donald Trump before retiring, because Clinton would nominate a more liberal successor for her than Obama would, or so that her successor could be nominated by the first female president. After Trump's victory in 2016 and the election of a Republican Senate, she would have had to wait until at least 2021 for a Democrat to be president, but died in office in September 2020 at age 87.

Seems she may have meant to retire but waited too long to do so.
