The Supreme Court let stand a lower court decision over emergency room abortions in Texas, marking a blow to the Biden administration as it sought to appeal.

The Supreme Courtturned away a Biden administration appeal in a dispute over emergency room abortion care in Texas, leaving in place a lower court victory for the Republican-led state.

The Supreme Court rejected a Biden administration request to block a lower court ruling barring emergency abortions that would conflict with Texas state law.

In asking for a review, the Biden administration pointed to the Supreme Court’s action in an Idaho case that narrowly allowed emergency abortions to resume.

The administration said a state abortion law conflicted with a federal law requiring emergency care. The court similarly sidestepped a case from Idaho in June.

The Supreme Court decided not to hear arguments in a case involving Texas that could have provided an answer about whether a state abortion ban conflicts with a federal emergency care law.

The Supreme Court on Monday left in place a court order blocking the Biden administration from enforcing in Texas its policy of requiring hospitals to provide emergency abortion care or risk losing federal funding.
