en challenged and violated the court’s ruling.
On Tuesday, the state of Idaho debated whether to uphold or remove a law prohibiting abortions in Idaho in the event that the foetus could be born alive.
Roe v. Wade, 1973 was the Supreme Court’s decision which declared that the practice of aborting in America is legal. There are some limitations. A embryo can survive without the mother’s womb. Following Idaho having passed laws that would have allowed abortion, it has been noted that the U.S. Supreme Court has been open to debate. Some of these laws have been overturned and considered to be contrary to the spirit of the court’s ruling.
Idaho put forward an idea that sought to amend the Constitution in February 2016 that prohibited abortions when an fetal beat is discovered. It was stated in the proposal that nobody should carry out or cause an abortion to any other person, except when legally required.
The court has to determine whether the law is in violation of U.S. Supreme Court precedent established by Roe V. Wade and, if it does not, whether Idaho legislators have granted the legitimate interest of the state. It’s up to the courts to decide whether Idaho’s initiative ballot law violates the 14th Amendment.
On Tuesday, four attorneys debated the validity on the basis of Roe V. Wade’s 1973 passage. This meant that legislators were able to make regulations regarding the right of a woman to end her pregnancy before the viability. This is the point where the fetus can survive without its mother’s help.
The Idaho Legislature does not have a role in regulating of policing doctors. Its purpose is to communicate a moral judgement on abortion and protect the authority of the state.
In the end, the court concluded that they had the authority to uphold Roe v. Wade as it violated state law and ruled in favor of two women who were pregnant. It was the Idaho Supreme Court heard federal and state lawsuits regarding the recent Idaho prohibition on abortion.
