'Too little, too late': Justice Jackson blasts conservatives in emergency abortion ruling

Raw Story  

U.S. Supreme Court Justice Ketanji Brown Jackson dressed down her conservative colleagues Thursday despite a decision that will allow for emergency abortions in Idaho for now. The Supreme Court's decision effectively left the question about emergency abortions in Idaho undecided. "We permitted Idaho's law to go into effect by staying the District Court's injunction in the first place, then allowed this matter to sit on our merits docket for five months while we considered the question presented." "As the old adage goes: The Court has made this bed so now it must lie in it—by proceeding to decide the merits of the critical pre-emption issue this case presents."
