WASHINGTON, April 23, 2024 /Christian Newswire/ -- Below are quotes from Idaho's congressional delegation.

"The Biden Administration's attempt to preempt Idaho's pro-life laws with a false interpretation of the Emergency Medical Treatment and Active Labor Act (EMTLA) would set a precedence that is harmful to America's women and children. EMTLA was deliberately created to protect women and children in active labor. Every American has the fundamental right to life, including the unborn, and Idaho has strong laws in place to ensure innocent lives are protected. I have faith our justice system will stop this blatant use of federal overreach and put an end to Biden's harmful abortion agenda." -- Senator Crapo

"Idahoans have passed a strong law to protect the lives of mothers and the unborn, yet the Biden administration is seeking every opportunity to expand abortion. This administration cherry-picked pieces of existing statute and wrongfully reinterpreted it to fit their agenda. Their manipulation of federal law cannot usurp state law, and there is no federal right to an abortion. I submitted an amicus brief that demonstrates how the administration's substantial federal overreach is aimed at undermining pro-life protections not only in Idaho but around the nation. I hope the Court stands with us in our fight to protect Idaho's law and life itself." -- Senator Risch

"The Biden administration's overreaching efforts to expand abortion nationwide is an attempt to take power away from the American people. The Supreme Court rightfully ruled that states have the right to protect life, yet this administration continues to undermine that decision. I strongly support the right of all states to protect the unborn, and I reaffirm this priority by joining this amicus brief." -- Congressman Simpson

Brandi Swindell, Founder and CEO of Stanton Healthcare, which is based in Idaho, states:

"Idaho is thankful our entire congressional delegation is standing for life and the citizens of Idaho as they call for the Supreme Court to reject the Biden Administration's attempt to expand abortion and turn our emergency rooms into abortion clinics.

"The pro-life movement in Idaho has worked passionately to ensure the women of Idaho are protected from abortion abuse and innocent children are protected from abortion violence."
