According to a Supreme Court opinion briefly posted to the court’s website, a majority of the high court appears to be in favor of allowing abortions in Idaho in cases involving medical emergencies. The opinion reportedly showed a majority of the justices agreed to dismiss an appeal regarding an opinion from the 9th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals that sided with the Biden administration in the case. Bloomberg News was first to report the posting and reports that it reviewed a copy of the opinion.

From CNN:
The release was a stunning development at the Supreme Court, which usually safeguards the release of its opinions. The abortion case was considered among the most significant of the current term that is winding down ahead of the July 4 holiday.
At issue is Idaho’s strict abortion ban, which provides an exception for the life of the pregnant woman. The Biden administration argued that a federal law also required hospitals to perform abortions in cases where the health of the pregnant woman is at stake.
The copy reviewed by Bloomberg showed the court voting 6-3 to allow the emergency abortions to take place in Idaho on a temporary basis while the case continues.
