Gavel and Stethoscope.

Idaho’s largest health system, St. Luke's, filed a lawsuit last week in the U.S. District Court, suing Idaho Attorney General Raúl Labrador.

The health care system is seeking to extend court protections that have allowed for emergency abortions despite our state’s near total abortion ban.

Peg Dougherty, St. Luke's Deputy General Counsel, joined Idaho Matters to talk more.

My career has allowed me to learn something new everyday and to share that knowledge with all my friends on the radio.
