Idaho’s attorney general filed an appeal on Thursday after a judge overturned part of the state’s prohibitions on abortion, and requested an emergency motion to stay the injunction to enforce one of the state’s pro-life laws during the appeal proceedings.
“A federal judge has replaced Idaho’s law with his own abortion standard, broad enough to treat even the ordinary risks of a C-section as justification for an abortion,” said Attorney General Raul Labrador in an August 20 statement published on the attorney general’s website.
