Idaho

What's Happening in Idaho?

As of now, an individual must receive counseling designed to deter them from receiving an abortion 24 hours before going through with the procedure. Individuals covered under public and private health insurance must purchase an additional rider to cover the cost. The healthcare offered under the affordable care act only cover abortion in cases of rape, incest or life endangerment. Minors must get consent from their parents or guardians before receiving an abortion. If Roe v. Wade is overturned by the supreme court abortion would be illegal in Idaho.

In the Legislature

House Resolution 005/ Senate Resolution 101: This bill makes January 22nd the "Day of Tears" in Idaho. This day will be set aside to commiserate the "unborn children" lost to abortion since the Roe v. Wade decision.

In the Courts

The Idaho supreme court has temporarily blocked a bill that would make abortion illegal after cardiac activity is detected. This bill is modeled after the Texas bill that uses citizens to enforce bans on abortions. Click HERE to read more.
