CWN Editor's Note: The US Supreme Court, in a 6-3 decision, has ruled hospitals in Idaho must perform abortions if the mother’s health is at stake, despite a state law against abortion.
The court ruled that a federal law, requiring that abortion be provided “when needed to stabilize a medical condition that seriously threatens a pregnant woman’s life or health,” takes precedence over the state ban.
