The ban has a provision where if the "life" of the mother is threatened, then the ban does not apply. The District court and the Appeals court have said the law is unconstitutional because there is no provision for the "health" of the mother. And the Supreme Court overruled them, saying the "health" issue doesn't matter. So it's a difference between the "life" of the mother and the "health" of the mother.
There is no provision for the "health" of the mother, and the conservative old men of the Supreme Court don't care.
Wikipedia has a confusing
article on the topic with lots of links to the original documents.
