The Supreme Court is scheduled to listen to arguments in Moyle v. United States, a case about whether a federal law allowing for emergency abortion healthcare at hospitals overrides states' bans on most abortions.
This case is one of the main ways the Biden administration is trying to protect abortion rights after Roe v. Wade fell in 2022.
According to the Justice Department, the law requires hospitals that get Medicare funding to provide an abortion if it's needed to stabilize the health of an emergency room patient, regardless of state bans on the procedure.
Conservatives argue that the administration is attempting to make hospitals provide abortions nationally using the law. They say the federal law only requires stabilization, not a specific kind of care.
This will be the second time in recent months that the Supreme Court has heard an abortion argument after supposedly giving the issue back to the states, and the case is a new legal challenge that could change access to abortion across the country.
Oral arguments are scheduled to start at 10 a.m. EDT.
Listen above.
