Well, today, the Supreme Court heard arguments in a case that could determine whether doctors can provide abortions to pregnant women who are having a medical emergency. The Justice Department has sued idaho over its abortion law, which allows a woman to get an abortion only when her life, not her health, is at risk. The question is whether idahos law conflicts with the federal law that protects patients who need emergency care, a decision expected in this case in june. Meantime, the High Court Case comes as California Governor Gavin Newsom proposes a new way to help arizonans get abortions here in california.

When youre the size of 21 state populations combined, we have more at stake than any other state in america. A third of the patients that are served by planned parenthood alone.

These legal conditions are so complicated that a lot of people dont even know what their rights are, howard said. Because of this, doctors are pulling out of states with strict abortion laws, but weve also been seeing Health Care Providers leave the state. In idaho, 22 of the obese in the state have left, and theyre doing this because they cannot protect their patients without risking their ability to practice medicine, but also their freedom. Right. They could go to prison. The hope is the new program will give medical professionals a safe place to care for patients, according to the governors office. The new project will be funded by private money from arizona and not cost taxpayers in either state any additional money in oakland.

Now were in 60s. Temperatures are really kind of stuck and a couple locations a little warmer, a couple a little cooler, but theres no dramatic drop like we saw yesterday. So the system moves into the south
