It had already been approved in the Idaho Senate and now goes to Republican Governor Brad Little\u2019s desk to be signed into law. The bill makes exceptions for abortions in the case of a medical emergency, rape, or incest, whereas the Texas law does not make exceptions for rape or incest.<\/p>\n<p class=\"p3\">Much like the Texas law, the Idaho version prohibits abortion once a fetal heartbeat has been detected. It appears the law will go into effect thirty days after it is signed.<\/p>\n<p class=\"p3\">The Texas law allows private citizens to sue anyone who performs an abortion, or anyone who aids or abets an abortion in violation of the law, but the Idaho law limits the people allowed to sue to family members only. The mother, father, grandparent, sibling, or aunt or uncle of the unborn child could sue for a minimum of $20,000.<\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\">It also only <a href=\"https:\/\/legislature.idaho.gov\/wp-content\/uploads\/sessioninfo\/2022\/legislation\/S1309.pdf\"><span class=\"s1\">allows<\/span><\/a> the \u201cmedical professionals who knowingly or recklessly attempted, performed, or induced the abortion\u201d in violation of the law to be sued. <span class=\"s3\">It doesn\u2019t allow a father to sue if the pregnancy was a result of rape or incest.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p3\">There\u2019s still some debate whether the Texas pro-life law will stand long term, but for now, it\u2019s the law of the land in Texas.<\/p>\n<p>As The Daily Wire <a href=\"https:\/\/www.dailywire.com\/news\/texas-supreme-court-deals-devastating-blow-to-pro-abortion-supporters\">reported<\/a>, \u201cTexas\u2019s Supreme Court unanimously ruled against abortion supporters [last week], dealing a final blow to a challenge to the state\u2019s abortion ban.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cTexas law does not grant the state-agency executives named as defendants in this case any authority to enforce the Act\u2019s requirements, either directly or indirectly,\u201d the\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.txcourts.gov\/media\/1453763\/220033.pdf\">court ruling said<\/a>.<\/p>\n<div class=\"dw-mm-player-container\">\n<p>\u201cSenate Bill 8 provides that its requirements may be enforced by a private civil action, that no state official may bring or participate as a party in any such action, that such an action is the exclusive means to enforce the requirements, and that these restrictions apply notwithstanding any other law.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div id=\"AV608bfd1f328b2f32b531a418\">\n<p>\u201cBased on these provisions,\u201d the court continued, \u201cwe conclude that Texas law does not grant the state-agency executives named as defendants in this case any authority to enforce the Act\u2019s requirements, either directly or indirectly.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p class=\"p3\">The new legal pathway of using civil lawsuits to curb abortion seems to be gaining ground.<span class=\"Apple-converted-space\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p3\">Other states are taking notice. Tennessee just <a href=\"https:\/\/www.dailywire.com\/news\/tennessee-introduces-texas-style-abortion-ban-bill\"><span class=\"s1\">introduced<\/span><\/a> a similar pro-life law this week, but the legal loophole of civil lawsuits might be unnecessary in the long run. <span class=\"s3\">As The Daily Wire <a href=\"https:\/\/www.dailywire.com\/news\/tennessee-introduces-texas-style-abortion-ban-bill\"><span class=\"s4\">reported<\/span><\/a>, \u201cTennessee Republican lawmakers introduced a new abortion restriction law on Tuesday modeled after recent legislation in Texas that would ban most abortions.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p3\">\u201cThe Volunteer State already has some of the strongest pro-life laws in the nation. The new bill would further limit abortions, allowing private citizens the ability to file civil lawsuits against those who perform an abortion,\u201d the report added.<\/p>\n<p class=\"p3\">Americans are waiting to see what the U.S. Supreme Court decides on a law out of Mississippi that bans abortion after 15 weeks.<\/p>\n<p class=\"p3\">If the high court sides with Mississippi, they could strike down <i>Roe v. Wade. <\/i>If Roe falls, then states will once again be able to write their own laws on abortion and they won\u2019t need these loopholes.<\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\"><i>The Daily Wire is one of America\u2019s fastest-growing conservative media companies and counter-cultural outlets for news, opinion, and entertainment.
