A bill in Idaho banning abortion after about six weeks with a unique enforcement mechanism modeled off of a Texas abortion-ban law is headed to the governor’s desk after passing the state’s House of Representatives.

The Idaho House on Monday voted 51–14 to pass S.B. 1309, with all 12 state House Democrats voting against the measure.
