Several Planned Parenthood lawsuits will challenge the law allowed to move forward by Idaho's Supreme Court.
BOISE, Idaho — The Idaho Supreme Court announced on Friday that it would allow the state's existing abortion ban legislation to take effect as several Planned Parenthood lawsuits challenging the laws move forward.
The opinion states the request to block the bans was denied because Planned Parenthood did"not demonstrate a substantial likelihood of success on the merits or a 'clear right' to the relief sought." The court ruled the petitioners failed to show the abortion ban laws will do irreparable injury as well as they would likely win in a trial.The state Supreme Court noted the Supreme Court of the United States ruling overturning Roe v.
"We again conclude that Petitioners have failed to establish a substantial likelihood of success on the merits or a 'clear right' to relief on any of their claims and, therefore, have failed to carry their burden to demonstrate that we should continue to stay the enforcement of S.B. 1309," the opinion states.
