The ruling lets stand a Fifth Circuit ruling stating that hospitals never have to terminate pregnancies, including when a patient faces risk of death.

The administration said a state abortion law conflicted with a federal law requiring emergency care. The court similarly sidestepped a case from Idaho in June.
