While Idaho law allows abortions only in cases to save the life of the mother, the court now holds that this is too narrow an exception.
This is the second abortion-related Supreme Court case to be prematurely released in two years.
The Supreme Court’s decision in this case could have far-ranging effects on protections for unborn children in Idaho and more than 20 other states that have passed pro-life laws in the past few years.
In a 6-3 decision on Monday, the high court ruled that the lower appellate court had gone too far when it blocked Idaho from enforcing the law altogether. The decision, however, does not settle the question of whether the law is constitutional.
The Idaho bill comes in response to a number of cases throughout the country in recent years of teachers and students facing disciplinary action for expressing Christian beliefs about gender.
Mercurio was charged with attempting to provide material support or resources to a designated foreign terrorist organization and faces up to 20 years in federal prison if convicted.
More than 13% of Catholic school students nationwide use school choice program funding to help with tuition.

The bill bans providing minors hormone therapies, puberty blockers, or purported gender transition surgeries, also known as sex-change surgeries.
