A decision in a high-stakes abortion case was accidentally prematurely posted to the Supreme Court’s website on Wednesday.
Though not the final ruling, the inadvertently leaked document indicates that the court will return the abortion case to a lower court, allowing emergency room doctors in Idaho to perform abortions, despite it being illegal in the state.
What happened?
Patricia McCabe, a spokesperson for the Supreme Court, confirmed with CNA that the document, which was first reported on by Bloomberg, is authentic but emphasized that it is not the final decision.
