SEATTLE — Now that a year has passed since women lost the right to abortion, we can assess how our neighbor Idaho's near-total ban on it is faring.
In short: It has accomplished next to nothing.
You can't say categorically that the Idaho ban hasn't stopped a single abortion. But the data suggests that is essentially the case — that the whole thing is a burden, cost and danger to Idaho's own women, but hasn't met the anti-abortion goals that supposedly informed it.
