Two doctors and a Planned Parenthood affiliate are suing Idaho Attorney General Raúl Labrador after the Gem State's top cop stated that it's illegal for doctors to refer residents to out-of-state abortion providers. This would represent a clear violation of numerous constitutional rights, they argue.
Labrador's assertion is part of a larger attempt by Idaho Republicans to enforce the state's strict abortion ban even outside of state lines. Abortion is totally banned in Idaho except in cases involving rape, incest, or a threat to the mother's life, and minors in these circumstances can only obtain an abortion with a parent or guardian's permission.
