Boise Becomes ‘Abortion Sanctuary City’ in Idaho Following Far-Left City Council Vote — Police Announce Refusal to “Investigate Reports” of Abortion
The Life of the Unborn Child is on the Ballot
During a city council meeting, Boise mayor Lauren McLean says enforcing abortion law “is not something our city will do” because there are “higher priorities.” This came just before Boise City Council voted on the resolution effectively making Boise an abortion sanctuary city.
This is “part of living together as a community” says Mayor McLean of the resolution, a resolution which will likely result in fewer children living in the community of Boise.
The Boise Idaho police department issued a statement following the overturning of Roe v. Wade announcing they are “not planning on providing additional resources to investigate reports following abortion.”
The police department made the comments citing ‘input’ from the liberal Boise City Council.
The Boise City Council voted tonight to make Boise an ‘abortion sanctuary city’ — possibly barring local law enforcement or any additional resources from being used to investigate illegal abortions.
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED BY THE MAYOR AND COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF BOISE CITY, IDAHO:
Section 1. The City of Boise formally condemns any action intended to abrogate the fundamental liberties of its people and affirms its commitment to protecting its residents’ rights, including the right to make reproductive health decisions for themselves.
Section 2. Investigations for the purpose of prosecuting abortion providers will not be prioritized, and additional resources or personnel will not be assigned.
Section 3. It is the policy of the City of Boise that, except to the extent otherwise required by state or federal law, city funds will not be used to:
A. Store or catalog any report of performing or attempting to perform an abortion;
B. Provide information to any other governmental body, agency, or professional licensing board about any abortion performed, or attempted to be performed, or conduct surveillance or collect data or other information related to any individual, organization, location, vehicle, action, financial record, and internet activity for the purpose of determining whether an abortion has been performed or attempted to be performed, except for the collection of aggregated data without personally identifying information or personal health information for purposes unrelated to criminal investigation, enforcement, or prosecution; and
C. Assist in furthering any civil action filed pursuant to Idaho Code § 18-8807.
Section 4. This policy does not apply to abortion investigations involving coercion or force used against the pregnant person, conduct criminally negligent to the health of the pregnant person seeking care, and cases where the abortion is not the crime being investigated but is investigated as evidence of another crime, such as sexual assault.
Section 5. That this Resolution shall be in full force and effect upon its adoption and approval.
What comes next is left up for debate.
