In the first such case since it overturned Roe v. Wade, the Supreme Court heard arguments this week about the legality of Idaho's near-total abortion ban.

Pregnancy Justice | @pregnancyjust.bsky.social legal director Karen Thompson explains what's at stake in the case.

Exactly that! EMTALA protects pregnant people. No state should be allowed to force pregnant women to sacrifice their lives and health for the life of a fetus.

This is the reality of the repeals—they may not take effect immediately and they’ll still leave some abortion bans in place for people who need care later in pregnancy. That’s why we shouldn’t criminalize abortion at all.

There shouldn’t be any laws restricting abortion at all.

Reproductive Justice Clinic students who worked on an amicus brief in Idaho v US spent the night outside the US Supreme Court so they could attend oral arguments in the case today.

The Emergency Medical Treatment and Active Labor Act (EMTALA) saves lives.

No one should be denied their right to emergency health care just because they are pregnant. It’s that simple.
