Abortion rights advocates have filed lawsuits in Idaho, Kentucky, Mississippi, and Texas to block trigger laws from cracking down on abortion in the wake of the Supreme Court's decision to overturn Roe v. Wade.
Planned Parenthood, an abortion provider, and the Center for Reproductive Rights, an abortion rights organization, have filed lawsuits in various states, attempting to prevent abortion bans from going into effect.Lawsuits in Idaho and Kentucky were filed with the help of Planned Parenthood. Planned Parenthood CEO Rebecca Gibron decried the Supreme Court decision in a statement when filing the Idaho lawsuit.
“Even though we knew this day was coming, it doesn’t change how devastating Friday’s ruling was for our providers, patients, and their loved ones,” Gibron said. “In a single moment, Idahoans’ right to control their own bodies, lives, and personal medical decisions was taken away but we will not stand for it. We will never back down. We will never stop fighting.”
Idaho passed a so-called trigger law in 2020, which was written to ban abortion except in instances of rape, incest, or to protect the life of the mother, in the event Roe was overturned. Now that the Supreme Court has ruled there is no constitutional right to abortion, the law is set to take effect 30 days after the high court's Friday ruling."Idaho has been at the forefront of enacting new laws to protect preborn babies," Little said.
In Mississippi and Texas, the Center for Reproductive Rights has also assisted efforts to halt abortion laws. In Texas, the group is looking to halt a trigger law that will take effect in the coming months.In Mississippi, the group is assisting the defendant in the case that overruled Roe. The Jackson Women's Health Organization is attempting to halt a trigger law that would go further than the 15-week ban the Supreme Court upheld in Dobbs v. Jackson.
The group, which has already been successful in temporarily halting the trigger law in Louisiana, is looking for similar results in other trigger-law states.
