Investing.com -- The administration of U.S. President Donald Trump decided on Wednesday to withdraw a lawsuit aimed at preventing Idaho from applying its nearly complete abortion ban in cases of medical emergencies. The lawsuit was originally filed by the preceding Biden administration.
Despite this development, the ban continues to be obstructed during emergencies due to another lawsuit filed by a hospital system. With the government’s voluntary withdrawal of its lawsuit, a preliminary injunction issued by a judge presiding over the case is automatically lifted.
Previously, this injunction had prevented Idaho from applying its ban in situations where physicians deemed an abortion necessary to save the life of a pregnant woman or to prevent serious damage to her health.
