Idaho doctors are considering making a run for it out of fear of facing jail time for performing abortions in the state.
The Gem State’s recent crackdown on abortion practically rendered the procedure illegal, only with exceptions for instances where the mother’s life is in jeopardy and in the case of rape or incest—when there’s a police report to prove it, and for both cases, only during the first trimester.
Medical practitioners can also face at least $20,000 lawsuits from the patient’s family for performing an unlawful abortion and risk suspensions of their licenses, felony charges, and time behind bars. When asked about whether the abortion laws may lead them to take off from the state, 75 Idaho doctors answered “yes” or “maybe” to an informal survey conducted by former Boise doctor Lauren Miller.

The defense team, meanwhile, will likely attempt to persuade jurors that there simply isn’t enough evidence to convict. Vallow Daybell and her fifth husband, Chad Daybell, are both charged with conspiracy, murder and grand theft in the deaths of the two children. Prosecutors also have charged the couple in connection with the October 2019 death of Chad Daybell’s late wife, Tammy Daybell. Chad Daybell will be tried separately.
