Supreme Court Lets Idaho Enforce Strict Abortion Ban

HeadlineJan 08, 2024

The Supreme Court is allowing Idaho to enforce its strict abortion ban, lifting an injunction that protected emergency room physicians from prosecution if they provide the procedure to save a pregnant person’s life. Friday’s ruling rolled back a lower court’s decision temporarily blocking the Idaho law, which makes it a crime to perform or assist in an abortion, punishable with up to five years in prison. The ACLU said in response, “Let’s be very clear, the result will be that we will see more women like Kate Cox from Texas who was forced to flee her home state to get the critical care she needed. Other women won’t have that option, and some will die as a result of the abortion bans.”
