The US Supreme Court accidentally leaked a major opinion on abortion rights, appearing ready to overturn part of Idaho’s near-total ban.

According to a document published on the court’s website then quickly removed, justices will rule that Idaho cannot deny emergency abortions to women whose health is in danger.

The court said the opinion, initially obtained by Bloomberg, was “inadvertently and briefly” published, and that its final decision had “not been released” but would be presented in due course.

Its publication however comes two years after the leaking of the court’s decision to overturn the national right to abortion access, known as Roe v Wade.

    Nobody relax.

    This is like the bullshit mifepristone case-they didn’t up hold reproductive rights on their merits. It’s kicking the can. Overturning Roe got people to the polls in anger, they don’t want a repeat of that this November.

    They are counting on people not reading more than a headline and tuning out until after it is too late.
