This legislation would end all legal
abortion
in
Idaho, without exception. It provides legislative intent, repeals
a section of
Idaho code that prohibits the prosecution of
abortion
as murder, defines terms, directs the Attorney
General to enforce State law regardless of any contrary court opinions, and provides prosecuting discretion.
This legislation asserts Idaho's lawful authority to ignore the Federal Judiciary's unconstitutional
abortion
jurisprudence.
FISCAL NOTE
The proposed legislation will have no fiscal impact to the general fund, state, or local governments because the
legislation just changes a criminal policy.
