Miscarrying patient was passed around 'like a hot potato' due to Idaho abortion ban, doctor testifies.

The "heavily bleeding" patient was told the pregnancy would not survive, but she had not been counseled on abortion, Dr. Julie Lyons, a family physician in Idaho and plaintiff in a lawsuit over the state's abortion bans, said on the stand.

"My colleagues are so scared and confused to even mention the word, it's like a hot potato -- pass the patient around and hopefully something will happen and declare itself," Lyons said.

Dr. Julie Lyons speaks in court as part of the lawsuit against Idaho over its abortion ban, on Nov. 19, 2024.

Lyons said she was on call when the 14-week pregnant patient returned to the ER, sometime in the last year.

The testimony came as part of an ongoing lawsuit brought by four Idaho women and two physicians over the state's abortion bans. »
