(Life News) Joe Biden’s administration filed a lawsuit against Idaho’s abortion ban that is protecting women and babies from abortion falsely claiming it puts women’s lives at risk. But today the state is fighting back.
Last year the Justice Department filed a lawsuit that challenges Idaho’s protective law — arguing that it would prevent medically necessary abortions. Despite false reports that abortion bans would prevent doctors from treating pregnant women for miscarriages or ectopic pregnancies, pro-life doctors confirm that is not the case. Some 35 states have laws making it clear that miscarriage is not abortion and every state with an abortion ban allows treatment for both.
The federal government brought the suit seeking to invalidate the state’s “criminal prohibition on providing abortions as applied to women suffering medical emergencies,” Attorney General Merrick Garland said. It’s the first lawsuit the Biden administration has brought in response to the Supreme Court overturning Roe v. Wade.
Biden hopes to turn emergency rooms in the state in abortion centers. (Read More)
