This morning, #IDleg introduced a 6-week abortion ban with a vigilante enforcement mechanism. This is copycat legislation from Texas that would ban nearly all abortion in Idaho. Here’s what to know about the bill ⬇️ #BansOffOurBodies 
A 6-week abortion ban is a near-total ban, making abortion illegal before many people even have the opportunity to seek care. This bill would create a chilling effect on providers and directly attack pregnant people’s support systems. #IDleg
Like #SB8, the Idaho ban outsources enforcement to private citizens. It’s more narrow, allowing only family members to sue abortion providers. But don't be fooled — this isn't a compromise. It's still an all-out attack on abortion intended to make an end-run around #RoeVWade.
Let's be clear: This abortion ban is cruel, infringing upon an individual’s freedom to make their own health care decisions and encouraging everyday Idahoans to spy on their family members for cash rewards. And it's unpopular. 👇 Idahoans do NOT want abortion bans.
Our most personal medical decisions should not be controlled by politicians, family members, neighbors, complete strangers, or literally anyone else. If you agree, tell #IDleg to keep #BansOffOurBodies here: bit.ly/nobans-id
