ABORTION – Amends existing law to revise provisions regarding the Defense of Life Act.

This Idaho bill (S 1184) revises abortion law by amending Section 18-622 (the "Defense of Life Act") to make most abortions a felony punishable by 2-5 years in prison, with medical license suspension for providers. It specifies that exceptions only apply when a physician determines an abortion is necessary to prevent the mother’s death, serious health risk, or for a lethal fetal anomaly diagnosed by two physicians before the third trimester. The bill also updates definitions in Sections 18-604 and 18-8804 to clarify terms like "fetus," "lethal fetal anomaly," and "medical emergency," while removing outdated references. These changes directly affect medical providers performing abortions and pregnant individuals in Idaho seeking care.
