At issue in the case was a state law that banned abortions except for the life of the pregnant woman.
The Biden administration argued that a federal law required hospitals to also provide abortions in cases where the health of a pregnant woman is at stake.
“Today’s decision is not a victory for pregnant patients in Idaho,” Jackson wrote.
Earlier this month, the court dispensed with another abortion case, an appeal challenging expanded access to the abortion pill mifepristone.
Bloomberg spotted the opinion and posted it online Wednesday before the court removed it.
