Supreme Court admits document was "briefly" uploaded after Bloomberg says high court poised to allow emergency abortions in Idaho

Washington — The Supreme Court said Wednesday that a document was "inadvertently and briefly" uploaded to its website after Bloomberg News reported that a copy of an opinion in a highly anticipated case involving Idaho's near-total ban on abortion was briefly posted online.

The opinion, in a pair of cases that pit Idaho's law against a federal measure that requires hospitals to perform emergency abortions, would reinstate a lower court order that blocked Idaho from enforcing its near-total ban when an abortion is needed to preserve the health of the mother, according to Bloomberg. 

The news outlet said the copy of the opinion posted briefly indicated the court divided 6-3, with Justices Clarence Thomas, Samuel Alito and Neil Gorsuch in dissent. The version posted indicated the Supreme Court's majority will dismiss Idaho's appeal, according to Bloomberg. It said the copy of the opinion briefly appeared on the court's website Wednesday. The final decision in the cases, known as Moyle v. U.S. and Idaho v. U.S., is set to be released in the coming days as the Supreme Court nears the end of its term.
