Idaho Supreme Court Justices point to conflicting language in abortion laws

A hearing at the Idaho Supreme Court regarding two of the state’s abortion laws seemed to create more questions than it answered, as justices highlighted confusion over criminal penalties and civil enforcement guidelines across three separate statutes. The court is expected to issue a ruling in the coming days that will determine whether the laws will go into effect later this month and whether the cases will be consolidated or transferred to a lower court for further review.
