Idaho became the first state to pass an abortion ban modeled after a strict Texas law that prohibits abortions after 6 weeks of pregnancy and relies on everyday citizens for enforcement.

On Friday, the Texas Supreme Court said it was unable to stop the new state law because it explicitly bans state officials from enforcing it -- only private citizens can sue someone who “aids or abets” an abortion. It provides $10,000 plus legal fees for successful lawsuits. The recent ruling in Texas spurred lawmakers in Idaho to move forward with their proposed legislation this week.reported. In Idaho, family members of a “preborn child” can sue the abortion provider.

The Texas law allows no exceptions for rape or incest. The Idaho bill provides an exception but requires pregnant people to file a police report and show it to the provider before getting an abortion. Last year, shortly before Texas passed its law, Idaho adopted a law making it a crime to perform an abortion after fetal heart activity was detected, typically around 6 weeks, the newspaper reported. But lawmakers attached a trigger, saying it wouldn’t go into effect until an appellate court upheld a similar law in another state.

Little signed last year’s law. If he signs the new bill, it will take effect 30 days later -- potentially as early as April.Legislature of the State of Idaho: “Senate Bill No. 1309.”: “Idaho legislature approves bill banning abortion after six weeks, modeling its legislation on restrictive Texas law.”
