The Justice Department said it would move to dismiss a lawsuit originally filed against Idaho by the Biden administration, according to court papers filed by the state's largest hospital network.
The Trump administration has signaled it will allow Idaho to enforce its restrictive abortion ban, particularly in emergency situations. The Justice Department plans to dismiss a lawsuit filed by the Biden administration, which argued that federal law mandates abortions in life-threatening emergencies. Idaho, however, maintains its state law already permits such abortions and accused the Biden administration of overreach. This decision represents a reversal from the previous administration and could impact abortion access in Idaho.
