Idaho's abortion bans are having their day in court, with Planned Parenthood challenging two laws — a trigger ban passed in 2020, and a Texas-style ban passed in 2022. Abortion rights advocates are bracing for the Idaho Supreme Court's decision to come soon after Wednesday's hearing in downtown.  It's been a complicated story to follow, with lots of legal twists and turns along the way. That's why we're talking with Boise State Public Radio reporter James Dawson. He helps clear up confusion about the legal process, explains the arguments at play in the lawsuits, and covers what might come after the court makes its decision.  Also on the show, we cover how to watch the 10:00 a.m. Wednesday hearing online, and give a heads-up about a rally for reproductive rights at the statehouse later that day.  Want more info on further abortion ban legal proceedings? Read up on a third lawsuit filed by Planned Parenthood, challenging an abortion ban from 2021.  Be sure to subscribe to our newsletter for the latest news on the Idaho Supreme Court proceedings.  Can't get enough of us?!

Heath Druzin hosts the Extremely American podcast and James Dawson — also known as Jimmy — covers politics for Boise State Public Radio.
