Controversy and Criticism Surround Idaho's Recent Laws and Policies.
Idaho state Rep. Lauren Necochea emotionally expressed that she would be terrified to have her daughters try to carry a pregnancy in Idaho due to the state's criminal abortion law, which has created confusion among doctors and pushed OB-GYNs out of the state. A bill was introduced to clear up some of the language, but some doctors are still unsure about the line between saving a pregnant person's life and being convicted of a felony if they perform the procedure. Idaho has some of the strictest abortion laws in the country, and people have reported difficulty accessing even routine healthcare procedures.
