Justice Amy Coney Barrett, a conservative appointed to the bench under Donald Trump’s presidency, remarked at one point that she was “kind of shocked” to hear attorneys for the state affirm that they determine whether patients are eligible for abortion care on a “case-by-case” basis. “Some doctors would reach a contrary conclusion.” Justice Coney Barrett was appointed by Donald Trump during his presidency, and is known for making legal decisions that suggest she is anti-abortion. Anti-abortion politicians have brought this case to the nation’s highest court to challenge long-standing federal protections for emergency care abortion care,” said Alexa Kolbi-Molinas of the ACLU’s Reproductive Freedom Project. Planned Parenthood Action Fund, the political arm of the nation’s largest abortion provider, concurred with that argument and added that the Idaho law ”threatens the rights of pregnant people to get the emergency medical care they need — including abortion care”.
