The Supreme Court appears poised to allow emergency abortions in Idaho when a pregnant patient’s health is at serious risk, according to Bloomberg News, which said a copy of the opinion briefly posted Wednesday on the court’s website.

The document suggests the court will conclude that it should not have gotten involved in the case so quickly and will reinstate a court order that had allowed hospitals in the state to perform emergency abortions to protect a pregnant patient’s health, Bloomberg said. The document was quickly removed from the website.

The Supreme Court acknowledged that a document was inadvertently posted Wednesday.

“The Court’s Publications Unit inadvertently and briefly uploaded a document to the Court’s website. The Court’s opinion in Moyle v. United States and Idaho v. United States will be issued in due course,” court spokeswoman Patricia McCabe said in a statement.

The case would continue at the 9th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals if the high court dismisses proceedings.

The finding may not be the court’s final ruling, since it has not been officially released.

The Biden administration had sued Idaho, arguing that hospitals must provide abortions to stabilize pregnant patients in rare emergency cases when their health is at serious risk.

Most Republican-controlled states began enforcing restrictions after the court overturned Roe v. Wade two years ago.

Idaho is among 14 states that outlaw abortion at all stages of pregnancy with very limited exceptions. It said that its ban does allow abortions to save a pregnant patient’s life and federal law doesn’t require the exceptions to expand.

The Supreme Court had previously allowed the measure to go into effect, even in medical emergencies, while the case played out. Several women have since needed medical airlifts out of state in cases in which abortion is routine treatment to avoid infection, hemorrhage and other dire health risks, Idaho doctors have said.

We’re all trying to save a buck in 2024, because everything is expensive and we’re all living pretty tight right now. So, an online retailer selling items on the cheap sounds very appealing.

But should you be shopping on Temu if you’re living in Idaho?

If you’re not familiar, Temu is an e-commerce site selling everything from clothes to electronics, all at a significantly lower price than you’d typically see from other online retailors. The Chinese-owned site is a legitimate business, however, you’re going to want to know this:

Temu is not accredited by the Better Business Bureau, and has an average rating of 2.5 out of 5 stars.

If you start to look into it, you’ll find story after story about customers who never received their orders, or somehow even worse, would receive orders that were counterfeit, or not exactly what they purchased. There are plenty of stories floating around on the internet with similar experiences.

If you’re still insistent on ordering from the site, here are a few pointers to keep yourself safe:

• Use “Hide My Email” if ordering on your iPhone
• Get an alias email from your provider
• Never, ever link your bank account or credit card to an online retailer. Instead, consider Apple Pay, Google Pay, PayPal, or even a gift card

What’s your experience been ordering from Temu? Did everything go by the books, or did you run into an issue like many other customers?
