North Idaho Has Drifted to the Extreme Right. One Republican Thinks It’s Hit Its Limit.
Jim Woodward was an Idaho state senator from 2019 to 2022, and, although a moderate politician by local standards, he voted yes on all the laws that would ultimately make the state’s abortion ban one of the strictest in the country. Idaho’s ban, which automatically took effect when Roe v. Wade was overturned in 2022, begins at conception and doesn’t make an exception for the future health of the mother. In 2020, Woodward, a Republican, voted yes on a law that requires physicians to prove that a mother’s life is at risk before performing an abortion or face fines, lawsuits, jail time and revoked medical licenses. In March of 2022, Woodward voted yes on another law that allows family members, including those of rapists (although not rapists themselves), to sue providers for performing abortions.
