BOISE, Idaho — Nearly one month after the U.S. Supreme Court struck down Roe v. Wade, which previously granted Americans the right to abortion, the City Council followed up with their own decision on the issue.
The ruling triggered a law in Idaho that will criminalize the providing of most abortions in the state, making it a felony for health care providers to perform abortions.
In a 3-2 vote, the City Council sought to limit the effect of that trigger law by passing a resolution to limit city resources from being used to take legal action against someone for seeking or performing an abortion.
