An Idaho judge has denied the state's request to dismiss a lawsuit that argues Idaho's abortion ban law is overly vague, leading women to be denied "necessary and potentially lifesaving obstetric care."
"Idaho's interlocking abortion bans hinder and delay necessary obstetric care and make it nearly impossible for medical professionals to continue providing obstetric care in the state," reads the complaint, filed in September 2023. "Pervasive fear and uncertainty throughout the medical community regarding the scope of the exceptions to abortion bans have put patients' lives and physicians' liberty at grave risk."
