Justice Department drops challenge to Idaho abortion law

Season 2025 Episode 65 | 5m 03s

The Trump administration moved to dismiss a lawsuit against the state of Idaho seeking to allow abortions in medical emergencies. Idaho is one of 12 states with a near-total abortion ban. The Biden administration sued Idaho arguing that federal law requires doctors to perform an abortion if a patient’s life is at risk. Mary Ziegler of U.C. Davis School of Law, joins Amna Nawaz to discuss.
