News about Idaho, Justice Department, and abortion

In today’s bonus issue of “One First” (for paid subscribers), I have some … thoughts … about yesterday’s #SCOTUS argument in the Idaho/EMTALA emergency abortion case—and why you should not just *read* about it, but *listen* to it: pic.twitter.com/qkPn6NRFL2

The upshot of the past two days at the Supreme Court is that only Trump can perform or pay for an abortion in Idaho.

I'm trying to convince myself that SCOTUS upholding Idaho's draconian abortion ban in June will refocus the country and the media on what's at stake in the election. ("Whenever God closes a door, he opens a window...so you can hear the lamentations and screams" or something.)

Today #SCOTUS will hear arguments on whether #Idaho can enforce its total abortion ban even when an abortion is needed to stabilize a patient—ignoring the Emergency Medical Treatment & Labor Act (EMTALA). Statement from our Acting Co-CEO Destiny Lopez: gu.tt/3xNg4Pi pic.twitter.com/COfIUlkfrI
