The Idaho Supreme Court, on Friday, temporarily blocked a New State Law, that would Ban Abortions after about Six weeks of Pregnancy, and allow it to be enforced through Lawsuits.
Idaho last monthm had become the First State, to enact a Law modeled after the Texas Statute.
The Ruling from Idaho’s High Court, in a Lawsuit brought by Planned Parenthood, means the New Law won’t go into effect, as planned on April 22nd.
Gov. Brad Little (R) signed into Law the Measure, that would’ve allowed People who would have been Family Members to Sue a Doctor who performs an Abortion after Cardiac Activity is detected in an Embryo. But when he signed it, Little said he had concerns about whether the Law was Constitutional.
The Law would allow the Father, Grandparents, Siblings, Aunts, and Uncles of a “preborn child” to each Sue an Abortion Provider for a Minimum of $20,000 in Damages within Four years after the Abortion.
Rapists can’t file a Lawsuit under the Law, but a Rapist’s Relatives could.
Planned Parenthood of Great Northwest, Hawaii, Alaska, Indiana, and Kentucky, had called the Law Unconstitutional.
The Law was modeled after a Texas Law, that the U.S. Supreme Court has allowed to remain in place until a Court Challenge is decided on its merits.
The Texas Law allows People to Enforce the Law, in place of State Officials who normally would do so. The Texas Law authorizes Lawsuits against Clinics, Doctors. and anyone who “aids or abets” an Abortion that is Not Permitted by State Law.
Until the Supreme Court Changes the Viability Test in Roe vs. Wade, or removes it, all of these State Laws are Unconstitutional, as their underlining Viability Test Violats the current Law.
