Summary

Four women are suing Idaho over its strict abortion laws, seeking clarification on exceptions that would allow abortions for serious pregnancy complications before the mother’s life is in immediate danger.

Represented by the Center for Reproductive Rights, the plaintiffs described having to leave Idaho to terminate pregnancies after receiving fatal fetal diagnoses and facing health risks.

The state argued the ban protects “unborn children” and asserted current exceptions suffice.

Doctors testified Idaho’s law creates confusion and delays, potentially worsening health outcomes for pregnant patients needing urgent care.

      when a country gets to the point the US is now the only people left defending democracy are people like these doctors who on the front line

      time to nut up or shut up

      this is where democracy’s final gasps happen before the death knell not at the poles or kangaroo courts or on some pulpit

      when the only thing standing between freedom are a person’s ability to act or not the choice should be clear

      fuck the jackboots and do the job that took oath for or relinquish your position to shine boots so someone who does have the courage to hold the line can

        It’s real easy to tell other people to flush their livelihoods down the drain and also go to prison so that they can never help anyone ever again.
