The Biden administration is manipulating EMTALA to override Idaho’s pro-life law and force doctors to perform abortions. Read more: https://adflegal.org/article/biden-ad...

Both Idaho’s Defense of Life Act and the Emergency Medical Treatment and Active Labor Act (EMTALA) seek to protect the lives of women and their unborn children. But when Idaho’s law was set to go into effect following the U.S. Supreme Court’s ruling in Dobbs v. Jackson Women’s Health Organization, the Biden administration sued Idaho and claimed that it could use EMTALA to override the law and force emergency room doctors to perform abortions.

EMTALA never mentions abortion, and it explicitly requires doctors to care for women and their “unborn child[ren].” The Biden administration’s attempt to manipulate the law and apply it against Idaho is a blatant abuse of power.

Idaho Attorney General Raúl Labrador assembled a team of Supreme Court experts that included his Office of Solicitor General, Alliance Defending Freedom, and Cooper & Kirk to ask the U.S. Supreme Court to prevent the Biden administration from unlawfully manipulating EMTALA to override Idaho’s law.
