Idaho

Idaho has passed several laws designed to limit access to abortion services. For example, the state prohibits abortions after 20 weeks of pregnancy, except in cases where the woman's life is at risk or the fetus has a severe anomaly. Idaho also requires abortion clinics to meet certain facility standards that are more stringent than those imposed on other outpatient medical facilities.

In recent years, Idaho has passed several new restrictions on abortion. In 2018, the state passed a law requiring abortion providers to report detailed information about each abortion performed, including the woman's age, race, and reason for seeking the abortion. The law is currently being challenged in the courts. Idaho is also one of several states that has passed a "trigger law," which would ban abortion if the Supreme Court were to overturn Roe v. Wade, the landmark 1973 case that established the right to abortion nationwide.

Overall, access to abortion in Idaho is limited by state law, and women seeking an abortion may face significant barriers to obtaining the care they need.
