Appeals Court Reverses Previous Ruling That Halted Red State Abortion Ban
Daily Caller ^ | 9/29/23

Posted on 09/29/2023 4:55:11 PM PDT by CFW

The Ninth Circuit Court of Appeals overruled a lower court decision to block Idaho’s abortion ban Thursday, according to court documents.

U.S. District Court Judge for the District of Idaho B. Lynn Winmill, who was appointed by former President Bill Clinton, ruled in August that the law could stop doctors from referring patients to abortion clinics in other states in an emergency due to fear of prosecution. A panel of judges appointed by former President Donald Trump, however, determined that the state’s case to uphold the ban was likely to succeed and that for the time being “public interest is best served by preserving the force and effect of a duly enacted Idaho law,” according to court documents.

“The federal government has no discernable interest in regulating the internal medical affairs of the State, and the public interest is best served by preserving the force and effect of a duly enacted Idaho law during the pendency of this appeal,” the court wrote. “Therefore, the balance of the equities and the public interest support a stay in this case.”

The trigger law was passed in March 2020 but did not go into effect until after the Supreme Court overturned Roe in June 2022 and bans all abortion except in the cases of rape, incest or to protect the life of the mother, according to the legislation. Doctors who violate this law face felony charges and up to five years imprisonment.

Ok, it’s critical that Trump, who’s guaranteed to lose due to election rigging, is the nominee. How much do you stand to win betting against all the fools who think the election outcome isn’t rigged? It’s free money, right?

“Ok, it’s critical that Trump, who’s guaranteed to lose due to election rigging, is the nominee.”

Correct, and the other reason is to prevent the DEMOCRATS from using the legal system for veto power over Republican candidates. Once that precedent is set, not even Chris Christie will be safe at the top of the ticket.

Why won’t you tell me how much money you stand to win from the Democrats guaranteed hold of the White House? it’s not even gambling since we know what’s going to happen.
