Idaho\u2019s Republican Party on Saturday adopted language to their platform that supports the criminalization of abortion in all cases, rejecting an amendment that would have supported allowing a person to get an abortion to save their life.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
Delegates at the state\u2019s GOP convention in Twin Falls approved changes to the party\u2019s platform that went further than existing language classifying abortion as murder from the point of conception. The new language backs criminalization of all abortions in Idaho,\u00a0according to the Idaho Capitol Sun<\/a>.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n Scott Herndon, who is running unopposed for a state Senate seat, proposed the amendment, which he called a \u201cdeclaration of the right to life for preborn children.\u201d<\/p>\n Herndon said even in the cases where a person\u2019s life is endangered, doctors should not be giving priority to the person over the unborn child.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n \u201cWe will never win this human rights issue, the greatest of our time, if we make allowances for the intentional killing of another human being,\u201d Herndon said, according to the Capital Sun.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Idaho\u2019s Republican Party on Saturday adopted...<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[16],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-50550","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-health"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/lapost.us\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/50550","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/lapost.us\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/lapost.us\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/lapost.us\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/lapost.us\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=50550"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/lapost.us\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/50550\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":50551,"href":"https:\/\/lapost.us\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/50550\/revisions\/50551"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/lapost.us\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=50550"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/lapost.us\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=50550"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/lapost.us\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=50550"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
