After the U-S Supreme Court overturned Roe v Wade last summer, Republican led states across the nation began enacting bans that curtailed reproductive rights and the right to an abortion. The state of Idaho has some of the strictest anti-abortion laws in the nation. Abortion is entirely banned in the state with exceptions for rape, incest, or if the life of the pregnant person is in danger.
Last week, the state moved further to the right with its anti-abortion laws after Republican Governor Brad Little signed into law a bill restricting assisted interstate travel for minors seeking an abortion outside of Idaho. It is the first state to enact such a law.
We speak with Sarah McCammon, national correspondent at NPR, about mifepristone, potential challenges with the new law in Idaho, and what it means for our evolving political landscape on abortion.
