#SCOTUS on Thurs will issue more end-of-the-term rulings, potentially including whether #Trump is immune from prosecution in his federal #ElectionInterference case, whether #Jan6 #insurgents may be charged w/ #obstruction & whether #FederalRegulatoryAgencies should have their #powers reduced. Wed, the court inadvertently posted a ruling it has not yet announced that, while #litigation continues, would allow emergency #abortions to stabilize patients in #Idaho where #abortion is banned.

#SCOTUS allows #HHS to divert funds over #abortion referrals
The #SupremeCourt Tues cleared the way for the #Biden admin to strip millions of #HealthCare dollars from #Oklahoma over its refusal to direct patients to info about #abortions — a federal req that the state says would be at odds w/its strict #AbortionBan.
Last yr, the Biden admin diverted $4.5M from OK’s #FamilyPlanning prgm, which primarily serves #LowIncome or #uninsured patients.

NEW:
“Fulton County Superior Judge Robert McBurney issued an order Monday that said #abortions must be regulated as they were before #Georgia’s 2019 law took effect in July 2022 — meaning the procedure is again allowed up until about 22 weeks of pregnancy.”

The #Trump admin has rescinded guidance telling health providers who perform #abortions in emergency cases that they're protected under federal law, despite any bans that might exist in their states.
The directive was issued by the Biden administration.
