John,
In a leaked decision, we’re learning that The Supreme Court has just ruled
6-3 to uphold EMTALA, preserving the 40-year-old law that requires
hospitals to provide emergency abortion care.
This victory is a testament to our relentless activism and the power of
our feminist movement. This is our win.

What the leaked decision tells us: Hospitals in Idaho must provide
emergency abortion care when necessary to prevent serious health risks,
regardless of state law. This decision ensures that women facing a health
emergency can get the care they need, including abortions, without
interference from politicians who oppose care for pregnant people.
This is our win: This win belongs to every single one of us who took
action, sent endless streams of letters to SCOTUS, and put our bodies on
the line. Thank you for standing up and fighting back against the
far-right MAGA agenda hell-bent on stripping women of our freedoms.
What’s next: We need to continue sending an unmistakable message to
SCOTUS: Women’s lives should not be pawns in MAGA’s culture war. Justice
Ketanji Brown Jackson cautioned that while positive, this decision is "not
a victory" but a delay, as "pregnant people experiencing emergency medical
conditions remain in a precarious position."
For today, let’s celebrate this win.
On Friday, we’ll be back in DC as we expect to hear from SCOTUS about
Trump’s immunity for the January 6th failed insurrection attempt.
