Idaho could be at the center of a free speech battle over abortion care.
Wednesday that it's suing the Idaho Attorney General for "threatening health care providers who exercise their First Amendment right to give patients information about out-of-state abortion care."in which he states that Idaho law does not allow health care providers to refer patients out of state for abortion care.
The opinion also says state law prohibits health care providers from prescribing abortion pills for pick up across state lines. Health providers who assist in "perfuming or attempting to perform an abortion" may have their licenses suspended as they could be in violation of Idaho’s abortion ban, the attorney general wrote.
The state has two abortion bans in place, a near-total trigger ban and a six-week ban, both of which have been allowed by the Idaho Supreme Court to remain in effect."This interpretation goes far beyond Idaho’s law and is an extreme attempt to prevent health care providers from giving information to patients and to prevent Idahoans from accessing legal health care in another state," the ACLU said in a statement.
The ACLU and the attorney general's office did not immediately respond to Axios' request for comment.
