A federal appeals <\/span>issued an order<\/span><\/a> on September 28 lifting an injunction on part of Idaho’s law protecting preborn children from abortion. The injunction on the law had previously been placed by a lower court.<\/span><\/p>\n

Last August, the Biden Administration\u2019s Justice Department <\/span>filed a lawsuit<\/span><\/a> against the state with the claim that its law restricting abortion in almost all cases would discourage emergency room doctors from providing life-saving care to pregnant mothers.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Despite this claim, Idaho\u2019s law does not prevent mothers from receiving life-saving treatment, even if that treatment results in the unintentional death of a preborn child. An induced abortion<\/em> \u2014 in which a child is intentionally and directly killed \u2014 is not a solution to a medical emergency. Though an early delivery may result in the birth of a child too premature to survive, this is not considered an induced abortion. Treatment for ectopic pregnancy and miscarriage is also not considered induced abortions.<\/span><\/p>\n
