Idaho Politics and Pro-Life Laws — Attorney General Labrador Moves to Dismiss Lawsuit Challenging Idaho’s Pro-Life Law. Press Release (10/23/25)
Many have related stories about St. Luke’s — from Ammon Bundy and Diego Rodriguez regarding the Baby Cyrus case; to a friend whose nephew was vaccine injured, taken from his mother, and treated by St. Luke’s with more drugs that are making him worse; to deadly remdesivir COVID treatments; to ongoing “gender affirming care; and much more.
Now we hear from Idaho’s own Attorney General of another St. Luke’s doctor who failed to exercise due diligence or behave in the best interests of patients.
📌 We wonder: Why does this hospital system continue to enjoy non-profit, tax exempt status?
Summary (Chat GPT, edited)
Attorney General Raúl Labrador filed a motion for summary judgment in federal court, asking for dismissal of a lawsuit challenging Idaho’s Defense of Life Act. The lawsuit was brought by Dr. Stacy Seyb, a maternal fetal medicine specialist at St. Luke’s Health System, who claims the state’s abortion restrictions are unconstitutional.
Attorney General’s Argument: Dr. Seyb misunderstood Idaho’s abortion law and failed to read the Idaho Supreme Court’s January 2023 ruling in Planned Parenthood v. State, which clarified the law’s provisions.
Law Details: Idaho’s Defense of Life Act allows physicians to perform abortions when, in their “good faith medical judgment,” it is necessary to prevent the woman’s death—without requiring certainty or that death be imminent.
Deposition Findings:
Dr. Seyb did not fully understand the law.
He never read the 2023 Supreme Court decision.
He eceived no training from St. Luke’s Health System regarding the law.
Asked when an abortion could be legally performed, Dr. Seyb replied, “I wish someone would answer that for me.”
Attorney General’s Statement:
Idaho Supreme Court already clarified that doctors have “broad clinical judgment” to provide necessary care.
Dr. Seyb’s misunderstanding—not the law—caused confusion affecting patient care.
Case Information:Seyb v. Members of the Idaho Board of Medicine being heard by Judge B. Lynn Winmill in the U.S. District Court for the District of Idaho.
