 Idaho had argued that it was entitled to determine how to balance the interests of the mother's health and the interests of a fetus. The posted opinion shows the court ruling 6-3 and dismissing an appeal from the state of Idaho without considering the core issues in the case, according to Bloomberg. It's unclear if the opinion is the final one. This is the second abortion-related case before the court this term. Earlier this month, the court held off a challenge to the way mifepristone, one of the drugs used in a medication abortion, was approved by the FDA. Alyssa Nadworny, NPR News.
