The Idaho Supreme Court on Friday temporarily blocked the state's new six-week abortion ban, which mimics a controversial Texas law.
Abortion providers had said in a lawsuit filed last week that the Idaho law violates several provisions of the state constitution and asked the state Supreme Court to intervene before April 22, when the law had been set to take effect.
The court on Friday granted a motion to reconsider, and said that the "implementation of Senate Bill 1309 is stayed pending further action by this Court."

As a shrinking number of Transportation Security Administration agents work to keep hourslong security lines moving despite not being paid, President Donald Trump stepped into the fray Saturday, announcing he will send Immigration and Customs Enforcement officers to airports by Monday if Congress doesn’t agree to a plan to end the partial government shutdown.
