The Supreme Court on Thursday sidestepped a ruling on whether Idaho's strict abortion law conflicts with a federal law that requires stabilizing care for emergency room patients, including pregnant women suffering complications who may require abortions.
The court dismissed an appeal brought by Idaho officials, meaning a lower court ruling that allows doctors in the state to perform abortions in emergency situations remains in effect for now.
The decision, which leaves the legal question unresolved and has no impact in any other state, was widely expected after the Supreme Court on Wednesday inadvertently posted a copy online.
Here are the top political news stories for today.
The Biden admin. knows its radical abortion agenda would never pass and become law, so it continues to try and unlawfully force it.

I’m glad to see the Court allow emergency abortions in Idaho — procedures that save lives every year.
But we can’t leave this issue in the hands of the courts. Congress MUST codify the right to abortion immediately.
There is no such thing as an “emergency abortion”. There are D&C and D&E procedures. They are not the same. Abortion is a want. D&C/D&E is a need.
