TL;DR

President Joe Biden criticized the Supreme Court's decision to allow Idaho to enforce its near-total abortion ban, which he views as a threat to women's health and a violation of federal law protecting emergency abortion services. The ban, which has few exceptions, is seen as a consequence of the Dobbs vs. Jackson Women's Health ruling that overturned Roe v. Wade.

The Supreme Court will hear arguments on the case in April, with a decision expected in June.
