#Breaking - #Idaho Gov. Brad Little has signed SB1309, the controversial abortion legislation that bans abortions in Idaho after 6 weeks of pregnancy. 
The bill includes a mechanism that allows certain family members to sue a doctor if they perform an abortion in Idaho, the father, grandparents, siblings, aunts/uncles of a ‘preborn child’ are permitted to sue an abortion provider within four years of an abortion.
The bill is commonly compared to legislation that passed in the state of #Texas. Of note, the #Idaho legislation prevents rapists from filing a lawsuit over an abortion, but a rapist's relatives could in theory file a lawsuit under the law.
There is an exception for cases of rape or incest, however, women who seek an abortion in that situation have to file a police report and present it to the medical provider before an abortion.
