Has anyone else heard of this?
Someone tell me what is going on before my head explodes!!
Jim? Anyone?
I don’t know what the heck is going on in the USA anymore.
The fact that they agreed to hear this case was a very bad sign. That snake Roberts has been looking to ‘fix” the Dodd decision. I would not be surprised if he was the leaker.
Almost any doctor would perform such a procedure if it was an emergency AND was required to protect the life of the mother, or at least give the mother a chance to make an informed decision. But we all know that it would become common knowledge that certain ERs would perform the procedures “no questions asked”.
Its Roberts, Kavanaugh, and Barrett playing games again. This allows both the left to claim victory and the right to say, “Don’t worry, it was just a DIG (dismissed as improvidently granted).” Don’t be fooled. This and the standing decision in one of the other cases today are pure politics disguised as reasoned argument.
The government is not going to be able to save a society that’s hell-bent on destroying itself. More likely, they’ll want to help in any way they can.
Guess the left’s attack on the court did the job or maybe more threats and intimidation behind the scenes. Either way they caved to blatant government censorship.
Are we now Brazil with even SCOTUS in the tank for the insurgents? Sad day for America.
The word “inadvertent” is wrong here, this was an on-purpose “leak” so “Joe” can use this to hammer Trump in the so-called “debate” tomorrow night. This is my guess.
Didn’t SCOTUS recently decide that abortion was a state issue?
This is real. I very reputable legal site, SCOTUSblog, also reported it.
I am glad I am leaving the US next year. I don’t recognize my country anymore and at 62, I just want to be left alone from all the BS.
This is not the main reason why I am leaving, but one of them. Financially, I will be better off in the Philippines.
I don’t believe there is any way that ERs or ER docs could ever be forced to do this. I would venture to say that the number of emergency physicians in the US who are trained to perform abortions is near zero. Trying to have ERs replace abortion clinics is one of the more asinine proposals I have ever heard in my life. The logistics alone would cripple ERs and entire hospitals.
Contrary to the fiction that is TV medicine, all doctors are not trained in all procedures (sorry, House). The ER doc is not going to swoop in and remove an appendix or perform a cardiac cath, let alone an abortion, which is never an emergency. Delivering a baby sometimes is, but the baby doesn’t ever have to be killed first.
This ‘leak’ I think, is meant to stoke up the pro-death cult to act like they did after Dobbs, or worse, if things don’t go their way, thereby trying to intimidate SCOTUS by threat of violence.
Just my $0.02

This is a "Life of the Mother" versus "Life of the Baby" issue.
Since actual medical conditions like that are rare, a ruling in favor of the Mother's life is not unreasonable.
However, the next step by the Democrats would be relentless legal and medical pressure to expand - infinitely - the meaning of "Life" of the Mother.
I thought it had to do with the life of the mother. I have no problem with that. It’s the only exception I feel comfortable with.
Now why do they strike down Roe and then vote to allow this??
If the USSC gives in to outside pressure it will find such pressures redoubled. They would be fools to do so. Even the leftists judges should be aware of how idiotic giving in would be in the long run.
