Idaho sued by US over "near-total" abortion ban

The U.S. Justice Department filed a lawsuit Tuesday against the state of Idaho over its restrictive abortion law, with Attorney General Merrick Garland arguing it conflicts with federal law requiring doctors to provide pregnant women medically necessary treatment that could include abortion.
It is the first major action brought by the Justice Department challenging a so-called "trigger law" that was set up to take effect once the U.S. Supreme Court overturned the landmark Roe v. Wade case.
The suit was brought because federal prosecutors believe the Idaho law would force doctors to violate the federal Emergency Medical Treatment and Labor Act, which requires anyone coming to a medical facility for emergency treatment to be stabilized and treated. Idaho's law criminalizes all abortions, subjecting anyone who performs or attempts to perform them to a felony punishable by between two to five years.
White House Press Secretary Karine Jean-Pierre also spoke Tuesday about the lawsuit.
"Idaho's law and its treatment of women are devastating; it's extreme and threatens lives," she said.

The Supreme Court hears the case.on this Weds., April 24. And will decide in favor of Idaho. Thank God its a 100 percent pro - life state, and staying that way

This is proof that we're living in a corporation.

I guess the White House missed the recent Supreme Court decision? The matter of abortion in Idaho will be decided by Idaho residents via their elected representatives.

Just like Slavery was available at some States. Denying Abortion is a form of Slavery or Forced Birth. Some People don't want to bring or make more Kids for a Broken World, plus there's Adoption If you want

[@YouTubeUserTYUIOPREWQ]

A 12 Year Old Girl or Young Children can be raped and then be Pregnant. Do you expect a 12 Year Old Girl to have a Kid ? Right Wingers really should educate themselves further. Plus the Male gives Drops of Sperm and the Female produces 99.9 Percent or more of the Baby, If anything the Father owns a Pinky Finger of a Baby or Less. Centrists and Right Wingers both make the USA bad to different degrees, lol

You're from Finland, what do you even care? Do you know that Finland's fertility rate is lower that Sweden's, Norway's, Denmark's, Russia's and much lower than the rate to sustain the population? It's 1.4 vs 2.1 replacement rate that is needed. Do you want your country and your people to perish?

Have you ever tried to get a pet Dog or a Cat lately? When I was a kid, they were free! I know someone that financed a Cat for Ten Thousand Dollars. It got sick and died but it realty was a very nice cat. No warranty. Too bad Lady. Man! I tell you that Cat was as smart and intelligent as a 'Border Collie' but should never have been a commodity for mere entertainment. (Some people here know of such intelligent domestic cats. Feel free to tell us about them in the comments) Okay, it seems off topic but money is mostly a fantasy. You have better things to think about.

Things Jesus said: "The world hates me because I testify about it that it's works are evil" "Don't be surprised when the world hates you, it hated me first" "If any man looks at a woman with lust he has already committed adultery in his heart with her." "Unless you eat my body and drink my blood you have no life in you" "Those that believe the Son have eternal life, those that do not obey the Son will not see life but the wrath of God abides on them" "Unless you believe in me you will die in your sins" "Unless you repent you will likewise perish" Read your Bible or you will be misinformed.
