It appears the U.S. Supreme Court will reportedly allow abortions in Idaho in cases of medical emergencies, Bloomberg reported, citing an opinion briefly and mistakenly posted on its website Wednesday.

It appears the U.S. Supreme Court will reportedly allow abortions in Idaho in cases of medical emergencies, Bloomberg reported, citing an opinion briefly and mistakenly posted early on its website Wednesday.

"The opinion in Moyle v. United States, No. 23-726, and Idaho v. United States, No. 23-727, has not been released," Court Spokesperson Patricia McCabe said in an email to HNGN. "The Court's Publications Unit inadvertently and briefly uploaded a document to the Court's website. The Court's opinion in these cases will be issued in due course."

HNGN has not seen a copy of the document.

In a 6-3 vote, with conservative Justices Clarence Thomas, Samuel Alito and Neil Gorsuch dissenting, the court reportedly plans to lift a stay that would have prevented women from getting medically necessary abortions.

The move "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.

Separately, Justice Ketanji Brown Jackson stated, "Today's decision is not a victory for pregnant patients in Idaho. It is a delay."

"While this court dawdles and the country waits, pregnant people experiencing emergency medical conditions remain in a precarious position, as their doctors are kept in the dark about what the law requires," she wrote.
