Planned Parenthood is trying to block Idaho's move to collect information on what happens to women after an abortion, removing the secrecy of abortion's effects.

During this last legislative session in The Gem State, a bill was passed and signed into law that requires abortion clinics to report information on the impact of abortion – for example, complications that arise from it. But the nation's largest chain of abortion clinics filed suit in federal court to block the bill, according to David Ripley of Idaho Chooses Life.

"According to them, it's unconstitutional for the government of the state of Idaho to become concerned about women's health," he explains. "[But] I think what they're really concerned about is trying to protect their monopoly of information in terms of what risks and what damage women likely undergo because they choose abortion."

Ripley also explains why Planned Parenthood has a monopoly on the information.

"All the information we have about abortion comes from the abortion industry," he says. "It's amazing to think that 45-50 years into the Roe regime we're depending on Planned Parenthood to tell us what happens to women afterwards."

The abortion conglomerate also claims the law is designed to stigmatize women when, in reality, all the information is confidential.

Ripley points out the state gathers information on heart attacks, measles, and an assortment of other medical conditions – so why should abortion complications remain under a cloud of mystery and be given an exception?
