The Supreme Court tipped its hand when it accidentally shared a version of its ruling allowing emergency abortions in Idaho where abortions are banned. The ruling, however was based, essentially, on a technicality, leaving the question of whether federal requirements to allow medical emergency abortions overrides state abortion bans. Irin Carmon, senior correspondent at New York Magazine, talks with Alex Wagner about where this leaves women dealing with crisis pregnancies and the apparent political considerations the court is making with its ruling.

  • It isn’t Dobbs backlash, it is the realization that people are delving into their finances to look for corruption. Got too cocky too early…
  • @Laura-fn6fl
    Watching from Europe, it feels outlandish that court sentences are needed to establish that emergency care can be provided. It should not matter that a patient is pregnant or not. Those decisions pertain to doctors and patients themselves in the ER and when the emergency occurs. It cannot be decided theoretically in a court.
  • @sblank33
    Idaho, not Ohio, for the millionth time.
  • @Silv718
    We fought a war against a king, but establish lifelong positions...
  • An ACCIDENTALLY posted copy that just APPEARED!! Or does it appear that it was accidentally posted.., hmmm
  • I’m so sick of politics. The past nine years have been horrific. It’s exhausting
  • @rare6319
    Fun fact Human sacrifice can be tracked back to as early as 800bc.😮
  • @ladyaj7784
    These "emergency" rules make a mockery of the whole problem. What dr is going to risk their career by trying to judge whether it's enough of an emergency??
  • Lot more important American problems then ,states deciding abortion, wake up people stop feeding their distractions from boarder, energy independence, economy ......spending out control.. Where's ur brains news ladies
  • @grimvian
    I don't understand, why judges have political views and not objective...
  • It's really quite intriguing as to why —in as much as how these leaks come about, the previous Dobbs leak was in all likelihood a deliberate forewarning, this leak here surely can't be a cry for help from someone inside, that's too much drama to go through all this, inadvertence would likely have been the play of yesterday.
  • This guest is super fantastic! A wealth of knowledge and passionate perspective. Alex should definitely have her on again. Kudos.
  • @DavidJ222
    Treading on women has never ended well for republicans. You would think they would've learned by now.
  • @moonscar119
    Oh pleaae... stop with the sensationalism pmsnbc

    The Texas prolife abor tion law has literally led to more in fant dea ths. The in fant mor tality rate went up in the state by nearly 13% the year after the heartbeat act went into effect. But of course it did.
  • If science could only find the cause of pregnancy... maybe it could be prevented, instead of controversy over killing the child.
