A judge in Idaho (northwestern United States) this morning blocked a controversial law that was scheduled to take effect tomorrow and that would have prohibited almost all abortions, including those in which the mother’s health is at risk.
Judge B. Lynn Winmill agreed with the US government, which was appearing as the plaintiff, and ruled that Idaho cannot prohibit abortion in situations in which its practice follows the standards set by the federal Administration for emergency care.
In essence, the judge indicates in his brief that Idaho has jurisdiction to legislate on abortion, but that it is limited by health regulations imposed at the federal level.
On August 12, the Idaho Supreme Court had ruled in favor of the Republican government of the state and given its approval to the application of the abortion law.
By three votes in favor and two once morest, the state’s highest court denied the abortion entity’s request Planned Parenthoodwhich requested that the entry into force of the rule be blocked on August 25, alleging that it violates the rights to privacy and equal protection before the law.
In addition to Planned Parenthood, on August 2, the US attorney general, Merrick Garlandannounced another lawsuit once morest Idaho, considering that its law once morest abortion “criminalizes doctors” and prevents them from freely practicing terminations of pregnancy when the woman’s health is at risk.
first victory
The Department of Justice sued Idaho for violating the federal Emergency Medical Treatment and Labor Act, to try to protect doctors who have to intervene when abortion is “the medical treatment necessary to stabilize a patient’s emergency medical condition.” ”.
It was the first action by the Department of Justice once morest a state since last June the Supreme Court annulled the ruling “Roe v. Wade” and thus eliminated federal protection of the right to abortion, ceding their legislation to the states.
And it will not be the only one, as Garland explained at a press conference, who pointed out that the working group on reproductive rights created as a result of the Supreme Court’s decision is dedicating itself to evaluating “the changing landscape of state laws” and they are already studying “additional litigation” once morest other states.
