The Supreme Court's recent decision has temporarily allowed emergency abortion care to continue in Idaho. This ruling provides relief but does not eliminate the ongoing threats to reproductive rights nationwide. Lawmakers such as Senator Cortez Masto, Doris Matsui, Senator Jeff Merkley, Rep. Annie Kuster, and Senator Shaheen have expressed their concerns, emphasizing the need to continue fighting for comprehensive reproductive health care access across the United States. They stress that access to life-saving care should not depend on one's state of residence and call for full protection of reproductive rights. Senator Merkley noted that the Supreme Court is kicking this decision down the road, while Doris Matsui highlighted the constant attacks on reproductive freedom.
I'm relieved that for now, women in Idaho can still access the care they need. But because SCOTUS failed to decide this case on the merits, our fight is far from over. It's past time we fully protect reproductive rights across America. https://t.co/X9GbAJN9vy
Today’s SCOTUS ruling is a temporary reprieve, not a victory. I'll keep fighting to ensure that women and patients across the country can access the full slate of reproductive health care, including emergency abortion, regardless of where they live. https://t.co/z0cWnAjeTN
We all should have the freedom to access the health care we need, especially in an emergency. Access to emergency abortion care remains available in Idaho for now, but the Supreme Court is kicking this decision down the road. I'll keep fighting against a national abortion ban. https://t.co/Iq7k2Nw3bC
Today's #SCOTUS decision that allows emergency abortions to continue in Idaho is a relief. But it doesn't take away from the fact that there are constant attacks on reproductive freedom in our country. We must keep fighting until reproductive rights are fully restored. https://t.co/BdXB5R1A7y
A woman's access to life-saving care in an emergency room shouldn’t depend on what state she lives in. The Supreme Court's decision offers relief for now, but make no mistake - abortion care is still threatened nationwide. We cannot let up in this fight.
