The #SupremeCourt will decide this term whether states can force #doctors to turn away patients suffering serious, #lifethreatening #medicalcomplications, or if doctors will be allowed to provide standard medical care 2 those patients: #abortions. court announced last week it will hear arguments over Emergency Medical Treatment & Active Labor Act or #EMTALA in April. https://www.rollingstone.com/politics/politics-features/supreme-court-states-emergency-abortion-1234945425/#healthcare #abortionishealthcare #criminalabortionban #medicare #RoevWade #Dobbs_v_jackson #SCOTUS #legalresearch
@bespacific that's not factually correct, though. The Idaho law in question wouldn't at all force doctors to turn away such patients.
The lower court only arrived at its conclusion by selectively misquoting law and ignoring that other courts had already confirmed that the law doesn't turn away those patients.
This reporting is getting the story wrong.
