I’m taking these actions to help North Carolinians who may need urgent care in other states as well as other women across our nation.” Denying women health care when their life or health is at risk violates federal law. “States are trying to ban abortions in all cases, including rape, incest and when the mother’s health is in danger. “Women’s lives are at risk because politicians are trying to take away their right to get the medical care they need,” said North Carolina Attorney General Josh Stein. States that are further away, like North Carolina, point out that their own pregnant residents could be at risk of death or harm if they happen to fall ill while visiting Idaho. Idaho’s neighbors in Oregon and Washington were among the states that joined to file another friend-of-the court brief, saying they fear the “spillover effect” the abortion ban could create as Idaho patients with ectopic pregnancies or other emergencies are sent to hospitals in Seattle or Portland for treatment. The Justice Department sued Idaho earlier this month in federal court and asked a judge to stop the abortion ban from taking effect. Michigan high court asked to OK ballot question on abortion Physicians who follow the federal law will be at risk of criminal prosecution and the loss of their medical license, said Dubner, and those who follow state law could damage patients’ health and place themselves and their hospitals at risk of federal fines or loss of funding. “It will really place physicians in a lose-lose situation,” said Jeff Dubner, the deputy legal director for Democracy Forward, the legal team representing the coalition of medical associations. Twenty states, Washington, D.C., the American College of Emergency Physicians, the American College of Obstetricians and Gynecologists, the American Academy of Pediatrics, and others are among those to have filed “friend of the court” briefs as of Wednesday, siding with the federal government’s claims that Idaho’s near-total abortion ban violates federal health care law. government has dozens of states and major medical associations seeking to weigh in.

Over three decades later, Scripps League Newspapers sold its interest in the newspaper to the Pioneer News Group in 1984. After several changes in operating sites, the newspaper moved to its current location on South Arthur Avenue in 1951. By then, the newspaper was owned by the Scripps League Newspapers. The current Idaho State Journal became a reality on October 1, 1949, when it merged with another newspaper (the Pocatello Post), which had begun in 1947. Like many others newspapers, the Idaho State Journal changed ownership multiple times during its early existence. However, due to the newsprint shortages during World War II, printing of the Idaho State Journal was suspended in 1942. Thereafter, the Idaho State Journal continued as the morning edition of the Pocatello Tribune. On April 28, 1924, the Idaho State Journal began publication, but the Pocatello Tribune purchased that periodical in 1932. However, that endeavor became successful several years later and the newspaper has published daily since March 17, 1902. In March 1897 a failed attempt was made to print daily editions. Over the ensuing years it increased publication to twice weekly, and then thrice weekly. On January 6, 1893, it became a newspaper with a weekly printing. The periodical began it existence as a political publication in 1890, as the Pocatello Tribune.
