Resource: Idaho Federation of Teachers v. Labrador

The ACLU, the ACLU of Idaho, Professor Seth Kreimer, and law firm Strindberg Scholnick Birch Hallam Harstad Thorne filed a lawsuit on behalf of two teachers’ unions and six professors in the U.S. District Court of Idaho to challenge Idaho’s No Public Funds for Abortion Act (“NPFAA”). The NPFAA criminalizes the use of any public finds to “promote abortion” or “counsel in favor of abortion.” The statute is part of a flurry of recent anti-abortion legislation in Idaho but also represents a novel attack on speech related to abortion.
