"WASHINGTON — The Supreme Court on Monday let stand a decision barring
emergency abortions that violate the law in Texas, which has one of the
country’s strictest abortion bans.
Without detailing their reasoning, the justices kept in place a lower
court order that said hospitals cannot be required to provide pregnancy
terminations that would violate Texas law.
..
Texas asked the justices to leave the order in place, saying the state
Supreme Court ruling meant Texas law, unlike Idaho’s, does have an
exception for the health of a pregnant patient and there’s no conflict
between federal and state law.
Doctors have said the law remains dangerously vague after a medical
board refused to specify exactly which conditions qualify for the
exception.
There has been a spike in complaints that pregnant women in medical
distress have been turned away from emergency rooms in Texas and
elsewhere as hospitals grapple with whether standard care could violate
strict laws against abortion."
