The Idaho Supreme Court has said it won’t block a trigger law that bans nearly all abortions in the state slated to take effect Aug. 25, as well as a separate law that bans abortion after about six weeks set to take effect Aug. 19, as litigation continues.

The court on Aug. 12 also allowed a civil enforcement mechanism of the six-week abortion ban to come into effect.
