BOISE, Idaho —
Governor Brad Little signed the bill into law March 23, but wrote in his transmittal letter he has"significant concerns" regarding the law's impact on victims of sexual assault. The law allows the potential father, grandparents, siblings, aunts and uncles of an unborn baby to sue an abortion provider for a minimum of $20,000 in damages within four years of the abortion. Rapists couldn’t file such a lawsuit, but a rapist’s relatives could.
