New version of Idaho fetal heartbeat abortion ban advances

By KEITH RIDLERApril 21, 2021 GMT BOISE, Idaho (AP) A Senate panel on Tuesday advanced a measure that would outlaw nearly all abortions in conservative Idaho by banning them once a fetal heartbeat can be detected. The legislation makes providing an abortion to a woman whose embryo has detectible cardiac activity punishable by up to five years in prison, and it would allow the woman who receives the abortion to sue the provider. After passing the Republican-led Senate State Affairs Committee, the measure now goes to the full Senate and has already cleared the House. It contains a “trigger provision,” which means it wouldn’t go into effect unless a federal appeals court somewhere in the country upholds similar legislation from another state. Similar bills have been passed in several other states, and some are already being litigated. Earlier this year, a federal court temporarily blocked a fetal heartbeat bill in South Carolina.
