"Idaho's ruling allows abortions if a doctor believes a woman is likely to die sooner without the procedure, broadening access amid strict state laws."
"Judge Scott's decision grants a partial victory to reproductive rights advocates who argued that the ban compelled delays in crucial medical care."

Scott in Idaho expands the state's restrictive abortion laws, permitting abortions if a doctor determines that a woman's health would deteriorate significantly without the procedure, even if death is not imminent. This decision marks a partial victory for reproductive rights advocates and healthcare professionals who argued the current law forced unnecessary delays in care. The case arose from a lawsuit filed by the Center for Reproductive Rights on behalf of women who faced serious health risks and had to seek abortions out of state.
