BOISE, Idaho — The Idaho Supreme Court on Friday denied an Idaho attorney general request to vacate the stay on the state’s heartbeat abortion law, further delaying implementation of the new law.
The April 28 petition asked the court to reverse its decision to put the law on hold. The bill would ban most abortions and allow family members to sue abortion providers after electrical activity on an ultrasound can be detected, or after about six weeks of pregnancy.
A regional Planned Parenthood affiliate sued the state before the law was scheduled to take effect.
