The Supreme Court may be poised to temporarily allow emergency abortions in Idaho when a woman’s health is at risk, according to Bloomberg News, which reported Wednesday that a copy of an opinion briefly appeared on the court’s website. It was unclear whether the document was final, and a spokesperson for the court declined to confirm what had been posted.
“The court’s publications unit inadvertently and briefly uploaded a document to the court’s website,” spokesperson Patricia McCabe told The New York Times. “The court’s opinion in Moyle v. United States and Idaho v. United States will be issued in due course.”
The opinion, published by Bloomberg, indicated that a majority on the court had agreed to dismiss the case as “improvidently granted.”
Dismissed as improvidently granted – the Writ of Certiorari is dismissed as improvidently granted, meaning the Court should not have accepted the case. Dismissed for want of jurisdiction – the Court lacks jurisdiction to decide the question on which certiorari was granted.
