Idaho’s near-total abortion ban seems to face an imminent road block just days before it’s set to take effect.
Prior to oral arguments on Monday, U.S. District Court Judge Lynn Winmill said there seems to be an “absolute conflict” between that law and a federal law regulating emergency care.

..."Planned Parenthood is challenging the near-total abortion ban in the Idaho Supreme Court, as well as two other cases involving further abortion restrictions. One is a Texas-style abortion ban passed earlier this year, while the third is a six-week abortion ban adopted in 2021.
The other two laws are written in a way to make the near-total ban and its strict limitations the only enforceable offense if all three are enacted.
In his closing rebuttal, Netter said the federal government believes an injunction blocking the 2020 law would effectively leave Idaho without any type of ban in effect because of the way those statutes were constructed.
Winmill said he will issue a written decision by Wednesday on whether to block the near-total abortion ban, which takes effect Thursday."
