The Supreme Court appears poised to allow abortions in medical emergencies in Idaho, according to a document that was erroneously posted on the court’s website briefly Wednesday, according to Bloomberg News.
The opinion showed that a majority of the court agreed to dismiss the appeal, according to Bloomberg, which reported that it reviewed a copy of the opinion.
The release was a stunning breach of protocol at the Supreme Court, which usually carefully guards the release of its opinions. The abortion case was considered among the most significant of the current term that is winding down ahead of the July 4 holiday.
CNN had not independently reviewed the opinion. Bloomberg did not post the document.
A Supreme Court spokeswoman confirmed that a “document” was “inadvertently and briefly uploaded” to the court’s website. Supreme Court spokeswoman Patricia McCabe stressed that the “opinion” in the case “has not been released” and would be “issued in due course.”
