PLANNED PARENTHOOD
At long last, the U.S. Supreme Court has issued two major rulings on reproductive care.

Here's the tl;dr —
  • In FDA v. Alliance for Hippocratic Medicine, the Supreme Court's ruling keeps mifepristone, a safe and effective pill for medication abortion, on the market and without any additional restrictions — at least for now.

    The court ruled that a group of anti-abortion doctors seeking to end FDA approval of mifepristone did not have grounds to sue — but that won't stop abortion opponents. They will continue to try to ban abortion nationwide.
  • In Idaho v. United States and Moyle v. United States, the Supreme Court refused to say that the Emergency Medical Treatment and Labor Act (EMTALA) protects pregnant patients' access to emergency abortion care across the country.

    Although the court reinstated a lower court's order that temporarily blocks Idaho from overriding federal law and denying emergency abortion care to pregnant patients, the case will continue in the lower courts.

    This issue — whether in the same case or a similar one out of Texas — could be before the court again as early as next term.
 
With these two key rulings in place, does this mean that abortions are permanently protected under federal law?
