But in Washington, the Biden administration is challenging one of those bans in a case that is now before the Supreme Court, arguing that Idaho’s strict rules violate a federal law on emergency medical treatment. Pam Belluck, a health and science reporter at The Times, and Abbie VanSickle, who covers the Supreme Court, explain how the federal law, known as EMTALA, relates to abortion, and how the case could reverberate beyond Idaho.

From the New York Times, I'm Sabrina Tavernisi, and this is the daily as the presidential race moves into high gear, abortion is at the center of it.
Republican controlled states continue to impose new bans, including just this week in Florida.
But in Washington, the Biden administration is fighting back, challenging one of those bans in a case that is now before the Supreme Court.
Today, my colleagues Pam Bellick and Abby Van Sickle explain.
It's Wednesday, May 1.
So, Pam, in the two years since Roe v.
Wade was overturned, more than a dozen states have instituted pretty strict bans.
But as all of these bans are happening at the state level, something is happening at the federal level, and that is the Biden administration is fighting back in a kind of unusual way.
And that effort came to the Supreme Court last week.
Tell me about it.
Yeah.
So the case that went before the Supreme Court last week is basically a fight between the state of Idaho and the Biden administration over whether Idahos abortion ban violates a federal law thats been on the books for decades.
And if it does, then does Idaho have to change its abortion ban?
And this case really gets at a bigger question about whether there are still ways that the federal government can limit states ability to ban or restrict abortion.
