Strict Idaho abortion ban loosened by judge's ruling on medical exemptions

An Idaho judge issued a ruling Friday that loosens the state's near-total abortion ban, according to the AP.
Four women, represented by the Center for Reproductive Rights, sought clarification of exceptions to Idaho's abortion restrictions.
The new ruling broadens the medical exception, allowing abortions when a patient faces a risk of death from medical conditions.
Jennifer Adkins, a plaintiff, stated, "It's been an emotional rollercoaster hearing this decision," regarding the impact of the law.
Despite the broadened exception, the ruling does not allow abortions for lethal fetal conditions unless the mother's life is also at risk.
