Physicians are testifying in a trial in Idaho arguing that the state’s strict abortion ban endangers women’s health by preventing necessary medical interventions. The trial involves four women, two physicians, and a group of medical professionals seeking to limit the ban to include medical exceptions. The state’s attorney general’s office has objected to the women’s emotional testimonies and described abortion as “barbaric and gruesome.” The case has drawn national attention, and advocates fear a loss could limit future challenges to similar bans. Women shared heartbreaking stories of being forced to travel out of state for life-threatening pregnancy issues due to Idaho’s ban.
