What happened?
- Judges Consuelo Callahan and Kim Wardlaw were in the majority; the order was unsigned, and Judge Wardlaw wrote a separate concurrence citing the Supreme Court's 2022 decision overturning Roe v. Wade
- Idaho’s attorney general applauded the ruling, while an attorney representing the plaintiff called it a temporary setback.
A lawyer said the ruling is temporary and the team will argue access to medically indicated abortions is at stake. The lower court's August order had been the first federal ruling since 2022 to recognize a constitutional right to an abortion in certain circumstances.
