Idaho Asks Court to Reconsider Order Blocking Abortion Law

Sept. 8, 2022, 12:29 PM UTC

  • “The court’s analysis relies on a misstatement of Idaho law,” according to the filing dated Wednesday.
  • The motion also refers to a separate judge’s decision in Texas, which said the federal government could not use the Emergency Medical Treatment and Labor Act to override state limits on abortion access
