Forum: Contextualizing Reproductive Health in Idaho After the Dobbs Opinion

Forum: Contextualizing Reproductive Rights in Idaho After the Dobbs Opinion

The Idaho Supreme Court’s 3-2 decision this January validated the state’s three abortion bans, including one that outlaws the procedure from conception. The Idaho lawsuit followed the US Supreme Court’s June decision in Dobbs that overturned Roe v. Wade. The Forum will address Idaho abortion law from three “professional perspectives,” and will attempt to generate objective discussion of a controversial and critical topic.

 Speakers: 

• Dr. Loren Colson, family practitioner and family physician at Full Circle Health, member of Idaho Coalition for Safe Reproductive Health Care, and part of the IMA Women’s Health Subcommittee

• Prof. McKay Cunningham, published constitutional law scholar, The College of Idaho

• Wendy Olson, former US attorney for Idaho and current partner at Stoel Rives, LLP

Moderator: Latonia Haney Keith, City Club board member, attorney, and Vice President at The College of Idaho
