is idaho put out any kind of guidance hhs guidance about was covered by the law a what is not in idaho? >> t regulatio. the g star here is the case which the lengthy detailed treatment under the supreme cour of this law may clear come to court made clear there's no medical certainty will cram a have to wait for the mother-to-be facing death. >> thank you couns what hapf a dispute arises with respect to whether or not ctor was within the confines of i law as the doctor subjeo if you buy a medical authority to? exactly how a s elevated because it's an obvious concern if individual eon for doctor and we are having a debate is that covered by your subn that nothing in idaho law prohibits complying with emtala. it begs the decision whether or not something is within or out. same i imagine there two ways the law can be enforced. the board of me has licensing oversight over doctor in idaho supreme court may clear that doctor's fisma will be judge an objective standard for w reasonable doctorld do. the second way would be. >> what is the standard? the the doctors could medical statement which

you can tell me whether idaho's exception going back to the point that even if idaho law fully complies with federal law you have a pregnant woman whose early into h second trimester at 16 weeks. she felt a gush of fluid leave her body. she was diagnosed. the doctors believe a medical intervention to terminate her nancy is needed to reduce the real medical possibility of expeng sepsis and uncontrolled hemorrhage from the broken -- it's a story of a row on it. she was discharged in flo because theus still had fetal tones in the hospital said she's not likely to dieare going to be s medical complicaon the doctors they refuse the treatment. would die.ey couldn'sashe she was and went home and the nexthe bled. was taken to the hospital.lly there she received an abortion before she was about to die. what you areelng us is that a case in which idaho would have id it's it's okay to have an abortion clinics commander i don't lifesaving exception the document could -- if the good -- if the doctor in good faith -- they know i'm asking you if the document says i can't say she's going tof you're doc

if the state is doing with the federal law says is required, it's okay by idaho, then fine we set idaho aside and do with the federal law says and we all go home. >> on the reading of course there is no conflict and so as doctors aren't having to make this choice of do i follow. >> they will be complying such that there is going to be no prosecution and no problem. >> they have to comply. >> i am asking if they comply, will they necessarily have satisfied the requirements of the idaho law because that's what you seem to say in response to the justice. so i just want to make clear if that is the position of the state. >> the scope of the requirement is necessarily determined by idahoiz law in this case. >> you're saying if they follow then they will be following. i'd like for you to entertain the other possibility. you seem to be saying every situation in which the united states says here's a stabilization situation that the united states would say the person has to have an abortion, the physician would say we are following and abortion is required. i thought you said in response yes ida

a document on moyle versus the u.s., the case concerning on idaho's strict law and whether doctors gave green light to provide emergency care to provide care to the woman if the woman's life is at risk. this appears to be the decision or at least a draft of it. they got ahold testify before it was removed from the court's website, and if it holds it indicates the court will allow emergency room doctors in idaho to perform emergency abortion care. nbc's ken delainian is outside the supreme court and nbc correspondent lisa rubin is here with me in new york, and we're also joined by former acting solicitor general neal katyal and an women's advocate. thanks for joining us. what more do we know about this document that was apparently accidentally posted? >> yeah, good morning, ana. absolutely shocking that this happened two years after the unprecedented release of the dobbs decision, with millions of dollars being sent to update its cyber security and all the court is saying about it issuing a brief statement acknowledging that the court's publication unit inadvertently released a document

so what is happening in idaho today.d to predict what will happen in the case is decided on the merits by the supreme court potentially soon but more likely down the road given what is reporting. we know initially that the court did allow idaho's law to go into effect and that would suggest that at least four of the justices were inclined to think that the biden administration's argument about this federal statute were incorrect. but as lisa pointed out, where is that fifth vote and i think the answer to that question may take some time to resolve. >> where is that fifth vote? >> i think that could come from justice barrett. during the oral argument, just barrett was dubious about the idaho lawyer's argument and she seemed to be particularly inclined to understand or ask why the idaho statute shouldn't give way when the woman's health was at issue. but not necessarily her life. and was very troubled by the fact that a doctor would have to defend themselves with saying, i thought i was providing life saving treatment and

so this is going to have big implications for women in idaho as well as providers in idaho. some of whom i've actually left the state because of the abortion ban and before today's ruling, when the band was in effect, woman had to be airlifted out of the state. and so this will have a big impact on women there. but like you said, this is far from settled across the board in this country back to you, jim. yeah, it makes you wonder with all these unintended consequences from dobbs at the supreme court here decided, okay, let's punt on one of these and deal with it later. >> elie a pamela, thank you very much. i want to go out to meg tirrell and megg a little weird in terms of how this ruling came out yesterday. but it sounds like it's pretty much in line with what we saw yesterday. what do you think? what is this mean for women's health? >> yeah, jim, reading through this, it does look the same as what we saw in an advertently posted yesterday and what it means for women's health is that in idaho this does put back into effect the protections of this federal law emtala, on hos

rachel, what are you hearing from abortion providers in idaho? abortion providers in idaho say that if this is accurate, they are calling this a small measure of justice, insisting that it would only be a temporary win. >> and they are emphasizing the word temporary because if this is accurate, it would allow providers in idaho to perform emergency abortions to stabilize the health of a pregnant person, to protect that patient's health. if it is at risk. but again, that word temporary, you just heard there from terry moran, they could see even more legal challenges that could put that back on hold. and more so than anything right now, you have abortion providers who are talking about just how confusing the laws have been in that state. so not only are abortion providers trying to stay up to date with what the laws currently are, so are the patients. if this is accurate, doctors in that state are asking how many more women could be caught hanging in the balance, could be caught in limbo, could be pushed to the brink of death's door waiting on the

but banned currently under idaho's abortion law sure. so a common reason would be that a patient has rupture of their membranes. so the bag of waters ruptures too early in the pregnancy, weeks before the fetus can potentially survive outside of the uterus. and in that situation beishan, there's very high risk for bleeding and infection to the woman and really negligible chance that this pregnancy can continue on. and in that situation, the appropriate care would be an abortion regardless of whether the pregnancy was desired and currently, we are unable to do that because the current the removal of the emtala protection meant that we could only provide that abortion if it was clear that the woman's life was in danger. so we needed to basically pushed her to the brink of death wherever that line is. and in medicine that's not a clear line before providing appropriate care. and so when i was on a few weeks ago, what has been happening in the situation because it's unethical and untenable to do that does that women are being shipped out of o

that's the new normal in idaho. so does this ruling mean that women are still going to be air lifted out of idaho? does this continue on for as long as it takes to make its way through the courts? >> that's an excellent question. this attack on doctors, there are doctors bho left the state of idaho. there are hospital that have closed their maternity ward. so the few that are still available are threatened and worried about losing their medical licenses to practice. and the question that was asked by justice sotomayor and followed by amy coney barrett about what will prosecutors do. that's a critically important question. because prosecutors who lean into what the investigative cone happens to be means they may continue to threaten doctor or may continue to try to air lift patients and say i'm not sure what could do hear. there are those that say doctors could as act as they did during the civil rights movement and be more bold and contest these matters in the state and advocate for their patients more robustly, but

the issue in question, whether doctors in idaho can perform abortions when the mother's health is at risk. what the document reveals about how the justices may rule in a high-stakes decision and what it could mean for women in other states. >> we are not legal lawyer people. we just want to practice medicine. >> norah: the "cbs evening news" starts now. ♪ ♪ the stunning news tonight from the supreme court, admitting a document from one of the most highly anticipated cases of this term was accidentally leaked. good evening. i'm norah o'donnell, and thank you for being with us. and we don't know for certain that it is the final opinion that was uploaded and first reported by "bloomberg news," but if it is true, this signals the justices are poised to side with the biden administration by reinstating a lower court order, for now, that allows hospitals in idaho to perform abortions during a medical emergency. why does this matter? well, the associated press found that this year, idaho had to medevac six women out of the state following a miscarriage when they were not treated in an emerg

united states and idaho, the united states will be issued in due course. so this statement appearing to differentiate between the document that was posted and an opinion that will be released soon. and in this document, it appears that the supreme court is siding with the biden administration. this case comes out of idaho oh, and the decision would allow abortions to be performed in emergency situations to preserve the health, health of the mother, but not necessarily having to wait until a woman's life is at risk met the decision as it is written. again in this document that was posted leaves a lot of uncertainty. it has a little larger question after roe v. wade was overturned about what happens when there are conflicts between state and federal laws. but the other issue here is of course, this incredible breach of protocol. this is the second time that a major abortion case has leaked out of the supreme court in this case being an inadvertently posted. now this comes the timing is significant. this comes roughly 36 hours before a presidential debate tha

brown jackson, also said the court should move now but to rule against idaho. now we don't know when the court will release the opinions in this case officially. we do have more decisions that we expect on thursday and friday and possibly into next week. it's just one of several major cases that we're waiting on including those two involving former president trump, whether he's immune from prosecution for his actions around january 6th, and if he's not immune what can he be prosecuted for. jan crawford, cbs news, washington. >>> millions of americans across the midwest remain under threat of severe flooding with several major rivers still rising, and they may not crest until later this week. cbs' tom hanson spoke with homeowners in minnesota who pretty much lost everything. >> reporter: for days this house sat perilously on the river's edge close to minnesota's rapidan dam. then in a heartbeat, it was gone. jenny barnes' childhood home and half a century of memories. >> this is our life, and it's such a beautiful place. a loss of history and -- it's sad. >> rep

i want to get to idaho in just a moment. to hear a decision on immunity today? and if not, why would they wait until the very end on that one? any tea leaves to read here? >> so no tea leaves really. it could come down today or tomorrow, or there may even be a day added next week. my gut is it will come down tomorrow and it will be the last day of the term. why? because some of the most controversial cases, particularly the ones argued late in the supreme court term, as this one was, do often go to the very last day. the hard part to understand here is this is not a difficult case. this is a case that many different judges have looked at, including quite conservative judges. they've looked at donald trump's claims, and they think the idea that a president can do whatever he wants and the criminal laws have nothing to do is ridiculous. there will be some nuance and so on, and that should take some time for the court. it's taken way too long and it's effectively given donald trump what he wants, which is delay, delay, delay. >

so this isn't only about idaho. this is really something that all eyes are watching from multiple states across the country to try to figure out what we're able to do to provide basic health care, even if abortion has been restricted. other thing i would add is this emtala the ruling goes back to reagan. this is about emergency medical care and standing by people and taking care of them to preserve the health and the life of people who present an emergency rooms all across the country. emtala is not about abortion specifically. it is right. and just for us to uphold emtala and allow all people no matter where they are, to get access to safe medical care in emergency situations, including abortion care important that you point that out amy. >> thank you so much for that poll on joan. thank you as well as if the stakes weren't high enough, the breaking news coming as both the biden and trump campaigns are finalizing their strategy she's for tomorrow's presidential debate. we're only about 30 something hours away. >> l

in the state of idaho. again, this was a test, the first significant test to the state abortion bans. i want i want tog in rachel in rachel scott, who has covered the issue of abortion rights across the country. and, rachel, first off, people who are trying to fight back against these state abortion bans recognize that this is a temporary victory. it with them signaling today that they're going to send it back. >> abortion providers and doctors that i have spoken to are, in fact, calling this only a temporary victory. and emphasis on the word temporary because they are expecting more legal challenges. they know that this law can change once again, and that could spark confusion for women in the state of idaho. they're also calling this a small measure of justice because it's not just idaho. david, after roe versus wade was overturned, you have 21 states that have severely restricted access to abortion. 14 states have near total bans on abortion. and there are seven states, including the state of idaho, that

but idaho only allows abortions to save a woman's life. a majority of the justices opting not to say which side is right, punting the issue to the lower courts. >> we'll continue to to it will rate it vigorously at the ninth circuit. >> reporter: the court issuing a short unsigned opinion identical to the one prematurely posted on its website thursday, drawing a sharp rebuke from justice jackson, accusing her colleagues of dawdling on the heart of the question, when are abortions mandated? one still percolating not only in idaho, but at least six other states with strict abortion bans. justice alito also critical of the decision, suggesting his colleagues had allowed the emotional and highly politicized nature of the issue cloud their reasoning. this case one of two battles over abortion this term, testing where the justices stand now just two years after the conservative majority overturned roe, this time in the midst of a hotly contested election year. the trump campaign saying the former president continues supporting the rights of stat

while the idaho law is challenged.t that challenge they are sending it back to the lower courts pretty this also means there are a lot of unanswered questions and no guidance to the lower courts about how to deal with similar laws around the country. texas, and almost identical law has gone into effect in the fifth circuit court of appeals over the biden administration's objections. here is a law professor at uc davis who has written extensively on abortion. >> the impact in the short term is going to be pretty limited. the court's ruling will have the effect of reinstating the injunction in the district court that allowed emergency abortions to continue in idaho. it doesn't really have any impact on any of the other states with narrow abortion bans, or on any of the other litigation around these questions that's been proceeding in other courts. so for the most part, this is deferring a decision and kicking the can down the road, although it will have immediate impacts in idaho. geoff: so what were the major difference

beyond saving her life, and idaho doctors can be charged with a felony if they violate it.he law was enacted two years ago, one fifth of the state's practicing obstetricians have left idaho. >> to have our kind of flip-flopping of how we practice is very hard for us, and i want to make it very clear. this doesn't mean, oh, you are going to get fined if you do this or that. it's five years in prison. >> reporter: the biden administration had sued idaho to expand access, pointing to a federal law requiring hospitals to provide stabilizing care in health emergencies. care that could include abortion. also today, the justices threw out a multibillion-dollar bankruptcy settlement with the manufacturer of oxycontin that would have provided $6 billion for treatment and programs to including $750 million to- victims and their families, in exchange for shielding members of the sackler family from future lawsuits. >> they need to be held accountable. >> reporter: ellen isaacs, whose son died of an overdose, said the deal left the sacklers off the hook. >> give me the ability to get a

it's not just idaho.ese other states, including texas, which has the same issue between the court. that's why we see conservatives and liberals accusing each other of saying you're dodging something here. this is a dodge, a punt. this is justice alito and jackson, polar opposites, saying you have to take this on because of the conflict. it's leaving everybody in limbo. women in idaho today can get an emergency abortion, but women in texas can't and women in other states can't. this is capable of repetition. you should have solved it now, reconciled the conflict. instead the lower court decision in idaho is going to stand. >> the dissenters are saying you kicked the can down the road. kristen welker, the justices aren't supposed to think about this, but there's an election upon us and the issue of abortion rights and the fallout from the dobbs decision that overturned roe v. wade reverberates through the election. >> it's one of the biggest x factors in the election. we'll see that on display tonight when

and that's when idaho appealed up to the supreme court. when the high court took the case, it put restrictions back in place. with this morning's decision, the court has kicked the case back down to the ninth circuit and removed those restrictions. so for now, pregnant women whose health is under severe threat can get an abortion in idaho, one of the largest hospitals in idaho told the court it was regularly life fighting very ill women out of state on a regular basis, something it says it had to do just once the year before. the second decision this morning finds $6 billion settlement between purdue pharma, the maker of opioids, and the state's improperly included legal protection for the family that owns the company. the justices say a bankruptcy judge did not have the authority to add in that protection. protection so the purdue family could face future lawsuits. the ruling also means settlement talks will have to start over, meaning no money for now. the court did not release decisions on two other major cases, one involving homelessne

the current battle over idaho's law which criminalizes nearly all abortions except to save a mother's life. the biden administration sued the state, arguing that abortion ban directly conflicts with the federal law requiring hospitals that receive federal funding provide abortions to women facing health emergencies, even if not on the brink of death. that conflict, doctors say, puts them in a dangerous bind. >> it's a really heavy burden to carry, to have the five years of potential incarceration to take care of your patients. >> reporter: the document posted and later published by bloomberg in full includes an unsigned opinion by the court punting on the ultimate dispute for now, sending it back to the lower courts, which means women in idaho will be able to obtain emergency abortions while the lawsuit continues to play out. but it also highlights deep divisions on the high court. the justices trading barbs in the document. justice jackson saying today's decision is not a victory for pregnant patients in idaho, while this court dawdles and the country waits, pregnant people experienc

i'm very limited temporary relief for doctors in idaho. they can now provide abortions number situation. but the big news is really no news because the rest of the country is just in limbo. doctors in anti for some states across the south and the midwest, they were waiting for this decision really hoping that they would get some clarity on when they can legally provide abortions and when they can't. and there was no clarity provided to today. so now they just wait and it's very unclear when they will know so as they wait joan i just want to put up a map that shows you some of those different restrictions in the two years since the dobbs decision of different states are imposing different restrictions. the orange color, the reddish color you see on the screen, there are the states with the most restrictive, essentially abortion bans with some limited exceptions. so jonas karoline noted, this is essentially a procedural issue, so the court is punting what will it take? i assume this issue comes back. abortion rights forces and abortion, abor

if an abortion can be done in emergency situations, as opposed to only to prevent death as idaho law said. now well, here's the key thing according to the draft opinion that's been put up by bloomberg news, it looks like the court's split six to three to dismiss the case. six justices said that they had intervened too early in this matter and indeed, the merits are still being resolved in lower court hearings. but this is while this is a win, as you noted in the introduction for the biden administration at this stage the liberal justices pointed out that this is no permanent victory for women women's reproductive rights, justice ketanji brown jackson according to a partial dissent, that was part of the opinion that bloomberg posted said that do not think of this as a victory while the court donalds and delays, women have this uncertainty over exactly how abortion bans nationwide our intersection with this guarantee of emergency room treatment. and let's just remind everyone that it was two years ago this month that the supreme court completely reversed constitutional abortion rights

i mean, i remember when we cover the idaho case. i mean, that that has major implications as well yeah, absolutely. >> idaho has a very strict abortion ban and the emtala case, that case that polo was talking about, which we're still waiting to hear the decision on. that concerns hospitals that protect its maiden medicare, which are essentially most hospitals. and their obligation to provide stabilizing care when somebody comes in, including in a situation where that might require an abortion. and these are very sad, upsetting situations, often with wanted pregnancies but if there is not that care delivered in that emergency setting that could threaten organs, the future health of the pregnant person. so that is what that case concerns. and a lot of people are really looking forward to hearing what the outcome is. we have already seen an impact in idaho on the medical care system from its abortion ban. we've seen doctors leaving that state. we've seen patients who are pregnant. the doctors advising them on their first prenatal visit

idaho now has a nearly total abortion ban.id idaho was ignoring a federal law which does a lot of abortions as a form of health care that need them. this federal law stands for emergency medical treatment and labor act. this is the case the supreme court is looking at. biden's administration is saying the federal law outdoes the state law, that is how it should work. in this document, we have not been able to verify it and we have not seen it, it appears the supreme court is set to agree with president biden's administration that women should be able to receive an emergency abortion and medal care. . i want to stress the ruling has not come into one of the major decisions we are still waiting on before the supreme court finishes its term this month. it would be a major ruling. it would come two years since the -- the state supreme court. >> evan gershkovich has going on trial accused of spying. his employer, the wall street journal newspaper and the u.s. government has denied the charges. he has been held in moscow in prison f

idaho is one of 21 states that have passed restrictions or bans on abortion since then. the decision coming just hours before tonight's presidential debate, with abortion sure to be a topic. president biden's campaign quick to blame donald trump. because trump's supreme court majority overturned roe versus wade, women are being turned away from emergency rooms and forced to the brink of death before receiving the care they need. if trump returns to the white house, he and his allies will ban abortion in all 50 states. doctors in idaho say the state law put on hold today ignores the realities of emergency care for pregnant women. >> we need to be able to have all options on the table in order to protect that person that's in front of us, that pregnant person. >> reporter: another huge decision today from the court, the justices dealing a devastating blow to a sweeping nationwide settlement for victims of the opioid epidemic. the settlement, negotiated for years, involved purdue pharma, makers of oxycontin, and members of the billionaire sackler family, former owners of pu

of idaho because doctors are nervous?e's a fragile detente between the two sides about this and that in the meantime doctors won't know how to make decisions. idaho's doctors will still have to decide whether to provide emergency medical care in the midst of highly charged legal circumstance with no guarantee that the fragile detente. even though it looks like a win and abortion rights advocates are calling it a temporary reprieve, i would dial it back further. you can lose while we win because even though women have the right to have an abortion, if doctors are scared to provide them because they think they'll be prosecuted and later months or years when the statute is upheld, for example, they will not provide that care they will continue to move out of the state or make different decisions when a woman presents herself for emergency treatment. >> it's a lot to put that decision on the backs of the doctor that would affect their life and career. >> there's this quote from the decision and lisa pointed it out earlier, sh
