Abortion back before the Supreme Court. The nine justices this is here, another case touching on one of the most divisive issues in american life. This time of challenge to a state ban. And the question of what can be done in emergency this situations, a new Voice Calling for the president of Columbia University to resign as propalestinian protesters refused to stand down House Speaker mike johnson is heading straight to campus today and were following his visit. Plus a Cnn Exclusive new video, Casting Doubt on the pentagons account of the horrific attack or cobbles air in 2021. Attack that killed 13 Us Service Members at about 170 afghans were following these major developing stories and many more all coming in right here to Cnn News Central right . Now, the Supreme Court appears deeply divided over one of the biggest Abortion Cases since roe v. Wade was overturned. Today, the justices heard arguments over whether hospitals have have an obligation under federal law to provide abortions to women during non lifethreatening medical emergencies, even in states where the procedure is banned. This is stemming from a lawsuit filed by the Biden Administration against the state of idaho, which has a nir total abortion ban. Idahos law does have an exception to save the life of the mother, but it does not allow abortions in a nonlifethreatening medical crisis. And a Justice Department says this violates federal law requiring hospitals to provide Emergency Care cnn senior Supreme Court analyst Joan Biskupic joins us now, joan and eventual decision could impact millions of women, Emergency Rooms and providers across the United States walk us through what the arguments were. And just so you know, the Solicitor GeneralElizabeth Prelogar said today that at least six other states have Abortion Bans that are as restrictive as idahos. Theyre are about 22 states that now have much more restrictive laws since the Supreme Court, back in 2022, completely erased constitutional right to abortion overall, i would say that this conservative dominated court was very skeptical of the governments position that somehow, you could still have abortions being provided in Emergency Situations in hospitals in these states that say that an abortion can only be allowed if its necessary to save to save the life of the mother, she would have to be near death. But the government says no, theres so many other situations that would come before that moment that would be lifethreatening to her Reproductive Health to have any kind of failure of vital organs, things that would be would not be put her right at deaths door, but would should be handled in an emergency situation. So we did have a little bit of pushback from the conservatives and it, but i want to play first a clip from Justice Alito talking to the Solicitor General, Elizabeth Prelogar, that shows the kind of skepticism heavy hand of government interfering mistakes here does the term health in emtala mean just physical health or does it also include . Mental there can be grave Mental Health emergencies, but emtala could never require Pregnancy Termination as the stabilizing care. Heres why its because that wouldnt do anything to address the underlying Brain Chemistry the issue thats causing the Mental Health emergency in the first place when a woman comes in with some grave Mental Health emergency, if she happens to be pregnant, it would be incredibly unethical to terminate her pregnancy she might not be in a position to give any informed consent. Instead, the way you treat Mental Health emergency is to address whats happening in the brain if youre having a psychotic episode, you administer antipsychotics. I really want us simple clear cut answer to this question. So theyd going forward, everybody will know what the federal governments position is. Does health mean only physical health, or does it also include . Mental health with respect to what qualifies as an emergency medical condition, it can include grave Mental Health emergencies, but let me be very clear about our position that could never leave to Pregnancy Termination because that is not the accepted standard of practice to treat any Mental Health emergency and i just have to say that emtala phrase just for our audience that refers to the emergence since the medical act thats at issue here, the federal government coming in and saying that that should preempt the state law. Samuel alito dominated a lot of the arguments from the conservative point of view. But there were other justices including elena kagan on the left, who said, look, whats happened in idaho . Since this ban was allowed to take effect and the federal government could not insist on Emergency Care for women with trouble, women have been transferred, have had to be flown out of the state transferred out of the state so their health needs are not being met. The justices are going to have to weigh which side has a stronger argument, but also, they were very confused about whats actually happening on the ground. So theres a lot of facts to iron out to before they make their decision. Joan biskupic. Thank you so much for the update to underscore the real life implications of abortion legislation. The Biden Administration argued today that quote, if a pregnant woman goes into an Emergency Room facing a grave threat to her health but is not facing death. Doctors have to delay her care until she deteriorates or theyre airlifting her out of the states if she can get the Emergency Care that she needs. The argument continues that quote, one Hospital System in idaho says that right now its having to transfer pregnant women and medical crises out of the state about once every other week and quote, one doctor also said that some providers have left idaho, that dozens of them have as a result of the law which created a destabilizing effect to health care in the state joining us, all joining us to talk now about all of this is dr. Qarrah walter. Shes a family medical physician addition. Shes a member of the Idaho Coalition for safe health care. Doctor, have you been listening to what youve heard and i wonder what you think so far yeah. I just want to speak to thank you first for having me and i just want to speak to whats happening on the ground in idaho where i practice. We have had disastrous results from this law being allowed to take effect we are no longer able to provide the Standard Of Care to our pregnant patients who come in with pregnancy complications. Theyre not seeking abortion, theyre seeking pregnancy care, but they have health threatening complications and were being forced to sit them the sidelines and watch while theyd become progressively sicker and sicker potentially facing life changing consequences like a stroke or kidney failure, or Liver Failure while we withhold necessary care. Our hands are tied. We feel like we may be facing jail time if we provide that healthsaving and lifesaving care and so as you mentioned earlier in the piece, folks are being pregnant, patients are being flown out of the state to access our Standard Of Care. So its had disastrous results. Weve lost almost a quarter of our obgyn providers in the state have left because its an untenable situation to be in. We cannot practice according to our oath to take care of patients to the best degree possible the doctor the idaho Attorney General, spoke out just moments ago rebuking what we heard from us Solicitor General about airlifting patients. I want you to listen the reality is that our law is very clear. It protects doctors. It protects women, it protects unborn children at it ensures that doctors can use a subjective standard if they believe that the life of the mother is in jeopardy, it doesnt have to be imminent. They just believe that the life of the mother is in jeopardy. It allows them to perform an abortion. And its really hard for me to conceive of a single instance. Where a woman has to be airlifted out of idaho to perform an abortion. In fact, i have talked to dr. In the er the same er rooms that theyre talking about and they are telling me that they have no idea what this administrator is talking about dr. Whats your response to that i wish that were the case i think are Attorney General is not in touch with whats going on on the ground. They have misrepresented the exodus of doctors from our states. I think they dont want to admit what were facing here. The law is incredibly vague believed me if we could provide the Standard Of Care to our pregnant patients, we would be doing it weve been doing it for years according to our training, but the law, the emtala law that were talking about has removed that protection for us. Thats the law. Was put in place, particularly to protect patients saying they get access to this care. And idaho is passed a law that says everyone in america gets access to this care. Everyone in idaho except if youre pregnant. And so unfortunately its not true. What mr. Labrador says. And we are having to sit idly by and its unethical to wait. We cant put the patient in that position of waiting until they have extreme Health Consequences before where they receive their care. So the light flights are going out of idaho. A lot of obj ones are advising their patients to take out life flight insurance if theyre planning to become pregnant, which is absolutely unimaginable. And a lot of idaho is a very rural state, were not a wealthy state. So many of our folks who are pregnant cant afford to be flown out of the state. Their insurance doesnt cover that. And then theyre facing trying to access care in a state without their family in the middle of a Pregnancy Crisis . A complication unfortunately, the effects on the ground are not as mr. Labrador has represented and i would just encourage folks to talk to the people who are actually providing the care like myself, who are trying to take care of these patients who need our care yeah there are life flights. There are patients who are not receiving care until a very critical point. I mean, it is documented. Dr. Ken walter are we appreciate your time. Thank you. Thank you so much were also keeping an eye on arizona because were learning there that state house lawmakers are expected to push through this repeating hell of the Civil War Era Abortion Law there. And this is something that the Arizona House tried and failed to do twice already soon as and toss it can has been following the story from phoenix some tosca bring us up to speed on whats happening abortion, brianna, i have republican source telling me that despite the failed attempts today, it is likely fleet to go through. So they only meet on wednesdays and the legislation, session just began that for the day at 10 00 a. M. Local time here. So were tracking what what but what happened last wednesday to failed attempts was to try to bring the bill of the repeal bill to the house floor to bypass procedural hurdles to get it even considered on the full floor. They couldnt get that to happen. But this source tells me that there are the votes air today to overcome that hurdle. And then to actually pass the repeal. Now, if they succeed in doing that, thats not the end of the story. It still has to go over to the senate for a couple love readings. If they fail to repeal this law, it goes into effect at the earliest june 8, and just to remind our viewers, this law dates back to 18, 64 when arizona was a territory, it bans nearly all abortions except in the case of saving the life of the mother. And a provider could be punished for two to five years in prison. Right now, were also seeing can you some developments with republicans who met just before this session this morning to basically allow for late introduction of House Resolutions for republicans to come up with their own Ballot Initiatives for november to counter and a Ballot Initiative thats already in the works by Abortion Rights Activists trying to Enshrine Abortion Rights in the states constitution. So this is going to play out over the next few months. A huge effect on the November Vote she can live for us from phoenix. Thank you so much im still had this hour on Cnn News Central.
