SB1309
Main Bill Sponsor(s):
Blaine Conzatti, President of Idaho Family Policy Center
Known as:
Bill’s Next Stop:
Signed by Governor on March 23, 2022
the sponsor says this will…
...effectively end all abortions in Idaho and allow certain family members to sue abortion providers (a la Texas).
Potential implications of this bill are…
...to force monied Idahoans to travel out of state to receive constitutionally protected abortions. Would also create a precedent where we allow Idahoans to start enforcing laws, which historically happens selectively and inequitably.
How I’m voting/How I vote:
