The Trump administration has dropped a Biden-era lawsuit that attempted to force Idaho health care practitioners to perform emergency abortions despite the state’s near-total abortion ban. By dropping the lawsuit, the federal government will no longer attempt to usurp the state’s pro-life law and force abortions.

President Donald Trump’s Department of Justice (DOJ) filed a stipulation of dismissal letter Wednesday in an Idaho federal court stating that both parties in the case, the federal government and the State of Idaho, agreed to the dismissal of all the claims brought against Idaho’s abortion law. The agreement effectively cancels the case known as Idaho v. United States and dissolves an injunction blocking the state from fully enforcing its abortion law.

Under the previous administration, the DOJ sued Idaho claiming that its “Defense of Life Act,” which forbids abortion except to save the life of the mother or in cases of rape or incest, violated the federal Emergency Medical Treatment and Labor Act (EMTALA). The 1986 EMTALA statute mandates hospitals provide stabilizing treatment at emergency rooms even if patients cannot afford to pay. Biden’s DOJ somehow rationalized that EMTALA’s “stabilizing care” provision included abortions and required doctors to perform them under a broader set of exceptions than just to preserve the life of the mother. Biden argued that its interpretation of EMTALA should prevail over state abortion laws and that abortions must be performed when patients request

Sara Spencer, 30, is seeking recognition of her rights to conscientious objection and freedom of speech following her unpleasant experience with National Health Service (NHS) Fife, which suspended her for a comment she made on Facebook.

Spencer, an American citizen residing in Scotland, was only a few months into her training at Edinburgh Napier University in Scotland when her dream turned into a nightmare.

Shortly after beginning her placement at a clinic run by NHS Fife, one of 14 territorial boards in Scotland, Spencer was called in for a meeting with her line manager to be reprimanded.

Spencer told the Daily Mail, “At first I thought maybe I had just said something silly or made some kind of dumb mistake. My mind was racing, thinking what have I done?”

As pro-life activists await pardons from President Donald Trump, a key Republican member of Congress is introducing legislation targeting the Freedom of Access to Clinic Entrances (FACE) Act.

Republican Texas Rep. Chip Roy introduced a bill Tuesday to repeal the FACE Act, which “prohibits threats of force, obstruction and property damage intended to interfere with reproductive health care services.”

“Now that we have a Republican trifecta in the House, Senate, and White House, Congress should move quickly to repeal this law and ensure that no future president can weaponize it against pro-lifers ever again,” Roy said in a statement.

“Free Americans should never live in fear of their government targeting them because of their beliefs,” Roy has said. “Yet, Biden’s Department of Justice has brazenly weaponized the FACE Act against normal, everyday Americans across the political spectrum, simply because they are pro-life.”

“Our Constitution separates power between the federal government and the states for a reason, and we ignore that safeguard at our own peril,” he added. “The FACE Act is an unconstitutional federal takeover of state police powers; it must be repealed.”

The bill comes as 21 pro-life advocates like Bevelyn Williams await a prdon from President Trump.
