The Biden administration claims the federal Emergency Medical Treatment and Active Labor Act allows ER doctors to commit abortions that are illegal in Idaho. But the state's attorney general, Raúl Labrador, argues that it allows for no such thing.
'The court held that each claim lacked merit, even describing one of The Satanic Temple’s positions as producing a ‘blatantly absurd’ result,’ Idaho’s Republican Attorney General Raúl Labrador said.
'Hospitals — especially emergency rooms — are centers for preserving life. The government has no business transforming them into abortion clinics,' the senior counsel for a conservative legal group representing the state said in a statement.
