Idaho's Abortion Law Fully in Effect as Federal Court Pauses Injunction
The stay restores full enforcement of Idaho’s abortion ban while the 9th Circuit prepares to hear arguments on Sept. 22.
- On Thursday, the Ninth Circuit Court of Appeals ordered a stay pausing an injunction that would have carved out exceptions to Idaho's strict abortion ban, allowing the state's law to remain fully enforceable pending further proceedings.
- Previously, U.S. District Judge B. Lynn Winmill issued an injunction in August protecting Boise maternal-fetal medicine specialist Dr. Stacy Seyb from prosecution by allowing abortions when pregnancy threatened maternal health or life.
- Idaho Attorney General Labrador appealed the ruling, while the Idaho Family Policy Center filed a brief representing 54 Republican legislators—37 House members and 17 senators—arguing abortion policy authority belongs solely with the Legislature.
- With the stay in place, Idaho's abortion laws are fully enforceable with exemptions only for protecting maternal life or in cases of rape and incest; doctors performing abortions outside these limits face felony penalties and license revocation.
- Oral arguments are set for Sept. 22 before the Ninth Circuit. Lawyering Project Executive Director Stephanie Toti stated, "The Constitution protects pregnant people's access to life- and health-preserving abortion care," expressing hope the injunction will resume after the hearing.
