[ [link removed] ]tl;dr: SCOTUS is at it again. Sign up here to take action if you’ve had
enough.
John,
Okay - you've heard us talk about the Mifepristone case that SCOTUS is
hearing (and have already signed up to join us on March 26th, right? 😉).
But there's this whole other case that is… yea. WTF.

A federal law, known as the Emergency Medical Treatment and Labor Act
(EMTALA), requires hospitals to provide “such treatment as may be required
to stabilize the medical condition” of anyone who is having an emergency
while pregnant.
What does this mean? If someone has to choose between carrying their
pregnancy or stabilizing their own medical condition, EMTALA guarantees
that hospitals have to offer treatment to save the mother’s life, even if
it includes terminating the pregnancy.
Idaho doesn’t want to save women’s lives.
A lower court that heard these cases held that EMTALA, a federal law,
preempts Idaho’s sweeping abortion ban (yep, a state law).

Still with us? Good. Because someone actually addressed the issue of
conflicting state and federal law. The framers of the Constitution were
clear on the issue: federal law “shall be the supreme Law of the Land,”
meaning that it preempts any state law that conflicts with it.
Will the “textualists” and “originalists,” aka extremists, on the court
uphold the Constitution? Or will they continue their crusade against
reproductive freedom? We will all find out in April, but in the meantime,
we have to stay ready so we don’t have to get ready.
