Idaho

So who forces the doctor to do this?

I am going to have to look up the law
http://legislature.idaho.gov/legislation/2012/S1349.pdf

7.Within thirty (30) days after performing any abortion without certification and delivery of the materials, the attending physician, or the attending physician's agent, shall cause to be delivered to the director of
the department of health and welfare, a report signed by the attending physician, preserving the patient's anonymity, denoting the medical emergency that excused compliance with the duty to deliver the materials. The director of the department of health and welfare shall compile the information annually and report to the public the total number of abortions performed in the state where delivery of the materials was excused; provided that any information so reported shall not identify any physician or patient in any manner which would reveal their identities.

9.The knowing failure of the attending physician to perform any one
(1) or more of the acts required under subsections (6) and (7) of this section
or section 39-261, Idaho Code, is grounds for discipline pursuant to section
54-1814(6), Idaho Code, and shall subject the physician to assessment of a
civil penalty of one hundred dollars ($100) for each month or portion thereof
that each such failure continues, payable to the vital statistics unit of
the department of health and welfare, but such failure shall not constitute a criminal act.

So if a doctor does not do this
They have to tell the Department of Health & Welfare
Then they are fined
or should I say
Taxed for their moral beliefs.
This is as ridiculous as asking all those that go above the speed limit to self-report and send in speeding ticket fines.
Why would you do that?

It also says...........

. If the materials are not available from the director of the department of health and welfare, no certification shall be required.

What does that mean?
Will the Department of Health and Welfare send out handouts? If they are not on the ball, then this law does not apply?

Now I have not read many Idaho state laws,
but I have to quote Seth & Amy on this one
REALLY?

This law is supposed to be enforced by doctors
There is no mechanism to allow the government to actually see medical records
This is like making a law mandating that you wash your feet first in the shower and then your back
Who will know?
Why wouldn't doctors just "yeah, yeah, yeah" the Department of Heath and Welfare?

What I really want is that list of places that you can get a free ultrasound.
Next time I need one, I will take them up on that offer
I think they are burying the lead on this one
Idaho State Government Mandates Free Ultrasounds
