Post-Dobbs Red State Abortion Bans on Watch After Idaho Decision

Professor Wendy Parmet is quoted in Bloomberg Law on a federal judge’s ruling striking down Idaho’s abortion ban for lacking a health exception, a decision seen as the first to recognize a constitutional right to abortion in certain circumstances since Dobbs. Parmet said relying on the federal constitution to challenge state abortion restrictions is “high risk” for advocates, since it puts the case on a path toward a Supreme Court viewed as hostile to reproductive rights claims.
