STATEMENT OF PURPOSE
RS28299 / H0056
This legislation would end all legal abortion in Idaho, without exception. It provides legislative intent, repeals
a section of Idaho code that prohibits the prosecution of abortion as murder, defines terms, directs the Attorney
General to enforce State law regardless of any contrary court opinions, and provides prosecuting discretion.
This legislation asserts Idaho's lawful authority to ignore the Federal Judiciary's unconstitutional abortion
jurisprudence.
FISCAL NOTE
The proposed legislation will have no fiscal impact to the general fund, state, or local governments because the
legislation just changes a policy.
