Idaho prepares to ban most abortions in the state as governor signs Texas-style law

Contributing sentiments towards policy:

49% :"Unfortunately we don't even have to guess about what this will look like, because we've been watching what's been happening in Texas, so we already know what this looks like," says Mistie Delli Carpini-Tolman, Idaho State Director for Planned Parenthood.
48% : He raised concerns that the same technique could be applied to other issues, such as religious freedom or gun rights, adding that, "none of the rights we treasure are off limits."
41% : Unlike the Texas law, Idaho's ban allows abortions for pregnancies resulting from rape or incest -- if the assault is reported to law enforcement.
39% : In a letter to Idaho's Senate President about the law, Gov. Little expressed some reservations about the use of lawsuits for enforcement.
37% : The unique enforcement mechanism first tried by Texas, which relies on ordinary citizens filing lawsuits, has succeeded where similar efforts to ban abortion have failed.
34% : Tobias says she believes abortion is always wrong, and that rape victims should carry their pregnancies to term.
