Hundreds turn out for anti-abortion rights rally in Boise, praise strict Idaho laws
Several hundred people turned out at the Boise March for Life 2025 as speakers applauded Idaho’s strict anti-abortion laws.
One of the speakers, lobbyist Megan Wold, said part of the plan this legislative session would be to promote legislation to “educate medical professionals and the public” about what Idaho’s abortion laws really mean.
“Today, we can confidently say that there is no state in the United States with more pro-life or protective pro-life laws than Idaho,” Wold said to applause. “Our work, of course, is not done this session.”
Wold said doctors “can and must” treat women in medical emergencies and “in the face of medical uncertainties.”
Idaho doctors have said Idaho’s abortion laws are too vague to interpret, according to previous Statesman reporting.
In 2022, the U.S. Department of Justice sued the state over its ban. St. Luke’s Health System recently filed a lawsuit over abortion restrictions in case President Donald Trump’s administration drops the Department of Justice suit, according to previous Statesman reporting.
