Federal judge strikes down Idaho ban on late-term abortions
US-USA-ABORTION-IDAHO:Federal judge strikes down Idaho ban on late-term abortions

SALMON, Idaho (Reuters) - A federal judge on Wednesday struck down a 2011 Idaho law that banned most abortions after 20 weeks of pregnancy, ruling that the measure is unconstitutional.

Idaho is one of numerous states that have enacted late-term abortion prohibitions in recent years based on controversial medical research suggesting that a fetus feels pain starting at 20 weeks of gestation.
