BREAKING: Justice Dept. files lawsuit arguing that Idaho’s near-total abortion ban violates federal law, the Biden admin.’s first litigation to protect abortion access since the Supreme Court overturned the Roe v. Wade decision in June.
In announcing the lawsuit, Attorney General Merrick Garland said Idaho’s ban violates federal law requiring medical providers offer emergency medical treatment.
"The Justice Department is going to use every tool we have to ensure reproductive freedom," he told reporters and added that it would file a motion to dismiss a Texas lawsuit challenging guidance from the Department of Health and Human Services requiring medical providers offer abortions in emergency situations.
On Friday, Garland, Gupta and other DOJ officials convened a meeting of private law firms, law professors, bar associations and public interest groups at the White House to discuss legal representation for patients, providers and third parties lawfully seeking or offering reproductive health care services throughout the country.
