Merrick Garland's DoJ Suing Idaho Over Abortion

[otto105]

We don’t live in Kansas where hack leftists have taken hold of its state supreme court and lied about the Kansas Constitution, though.

Here in the United States at large, there is no “right to abortion” nor any “right to privacy.”

Run on that.

 

[otto105]

What absurdity.

Hopefully they do what’s right and declare EMTALA unconstitutional, because it undeniably is.

Man… We really dodged a bullet keeping this evil, incompetent, and deranged ideologue Garland off the Supreme Court.

60 to 40 says people support a right to privacy.

Irrelevant.

Once again proving how dastardly Garland is, and how much of a sacrament abortion is to these people.

BTW. A cursory reading of the Act in question makes no mention of abortion, only women in labor, stabilizing a situation (and the child's safety).

The SCOTUS ruling in 'Dobbs' returned the matter to the individual states to decis]de. Here we have the leviathan attempting an end run that will hopefully be quickly tossed out of court.

... Biden’s Justice Department sues the state of Idaho over their abortion ban that is set to come into effect later this month, Valiant News reported.​

​

Speaking to reporters on Tuesday, Attorney General Merrick Garland announced that the Justice Department was suing Idaho, because their abortion ban, which only provides exceptions for rape, incest, and to save the life of the mother, is in direct contradiction of the federal Emergency Medical Treatment and Labor Act, known as EMTALA.​

"...the Supreme Court made this extreme decision to take away a constitutional right. It was an unconstitutional action by them"

Thank the Lord that Josef Mengele Garland was kept off SCOTUS

BTW babies are born.

Correct. Not born, not babies.

Your local QOP office has reviewed the previous post and found it insufficient. The poster is requested to note that Josef was a NAZI doctor as to make sure people know for better NAZIcation.

An elective medical procedure is not an emergency, this lawsuit has no teeth.

Idaho is going to lose this case.

No they won't. There is no emergency in recreational baby killing.

Your position is irrelevant to federal law.

 

[CrusaderFrank]

A state cannot nullify a federal law.

You sound as ignorant about the law as Obama

 

[Rogue AI]

Your position is irrelevant to federal law.

Hardly, the DOJ is attempting to misuse the law. Baby killing is not an emergency, there is no place to apply supremacy.

 

[justaschmuck9]

abortion is big business for the greedy corrupt democrats
they can't allow any interference

the US taxpayers (no choice, ironically enough) give Planned P money and Planned P gives money to Dimrat candidates

what could be more American?

The DOJ is enforcing Federal law over state forced birth legislation in Idaho.

"The Idaho law would make it a criminal offense for doctors to comply with EMTALA's requirement to provide stabilizing treatment, even where a doctor determines that abortion is the medical treatment necessary to prevent a patient from suffering severe health risks or even death"

Only a ghoul would force girls/women to suffer.

Nonsense, there is no forced birth, given Idaho law has exceptions for rape and incest.

That claim of 'suffering' is speculative, as no instance has occurred.

You apparently don't know what the Idaho law does.

Under the Idaho law, which is set to take effect on August 25, abortion providers could be subject to arrest and prosecution if a prosecutor can show that an abortion has been performed, with the burden placed on providers to prove an "affirmative defense" at trial, according to the DOJ.

The law "places medical professionals in an impossible situation, they must either withhold stabilizing treatment required by EMTALA or risk felony prosecution and license revocation. In so doing, the law will chill providers' willingness to perform abortions in emergency situations,"

That's an opinion, not a legitimate reason to file a federal lawsuit. If there is an actual emergency the evidence will be obvious and abundant.
