Arizona, Idaho Restrict Abortions With New Laws

The video discusses abortion laws in Arizona and Idaho. Arizona's law prohibits abortions if the decision is based solely on genetic issues. In Idaho, a fetal heartbeat law bans abortions after a heartbeat is detected, typically around six weeks into pregnancy. The law includes a trigger provision, meaning it will only take effect if a similar law is upheld by a federal appeals court in another state.
