The Idaho Supreme Court tossed out challenges to three pro-life laws late last week, ruling the state constitution does not guarantee a right to an abortion.
on January 5, the state’s high court ruled against Planned Parenthood Great Northwest, Hawaii, Alaska, Indiana, Kentucky in three lawsuits the pro-abortion organization brought against the Idaho for three pro-life laws that went into effect in August.
“We conclude that the Total Abortion Ban, 6-Week Ban, and Civil Liability Law each pass the familiar test for determining the constitutionality of most legislation: “rational-basis” review. Under that form of review, each of these laws is constitutional because it is rationally related to the government’s legitimate interest in protecting prenatal fetal life at all stages of development, and in protecting the health and safety of the mother,” she continued.
Brody also rebutted the dissenting opinions from Justice Colleen Zahn and Justice John Stegner. Stenger’s opinion that the court create a right to an abortion “goes far beyond the holding ofrejected Zahn’s opinion that “the meaning of Idaho’s Constitution must change with the times,” as well as Zahn’s speculation about more strict abortion legislation in the future.
Rebecca Gibron, CEO of Planned Parenthood Great Northwest, Hawaii, Indiana, Kentucky, lamented the ruling, according to a statement“This is a dark day for the state of Idaho. But our fight is far from over,” Gibron said.Blaine Conzatti, a conservative Christian policy research and educational organization, praised the ruling.
