    Monday morning, Federal Judge B. Lynn Winmill heard oral arguments in a lawsuit brought by the Biden administration challenging Idaho’s near-total abortion ban.

    In the case of the United States of America v. The State of Idaho, the Department of Justice is challenging Idaho’s 2020 abortion trigger law, which is set to take effect on Thursday.

    Monday's hearing was about whether Judge Winmill will block the law from going into effect this week, while the case itself moves through the legal system.

    Boise State Public Radio reporter James Dawson covered Monday’s hearing and joined Idaho Matters for an update.

    Show notes

    Since the U.S. Supreme Court overturned Roe vs Wade many states, including Idaho, have put severe limits on who can get an abortion.

    However, in Colorado abortion providers are seeing a sharp rise in demand from out-of-state patients, including some in desperate situations.

    Women approaching menopause don't always know just how much the transition will affect their lives.

    The ups and downs, brought on by the amount of estrogen in the body, can cause depression, anxiety, weight gain, hot flashes, sleep issues ... and that's just a few of the side effects.

    Idaho State University has a 12-week program designed to help women going through these changes. It's called Menopause Matters and the next class starts soon.

    Andrea Jeffrey, the coordinator at the ISU-Meridian Nutrition Clinic joined Idaho Matters to talk more about this innovative program.

    Watch Earth's latest Moon mission take off from Twin Falls Aug 22, 2022

    A full Moon is in view from Launch Complex 39B at NASA’s Kennedy Space Center in Florida on June 14, 2022. The Artemis I Space Launch System (SLS) and Orion spacecraft, atop the mobile launcher, are being prepared for a wet dress rehearsal to practice timelines and procedures for launch. The first in an increasingly complex series of missions, Artemis I will test SLS and Orion as an integrated system prior to crewed flights to the Moon. Through Artemis, NASA will land the first woman and first person of color on the lunar surface, paving the way for a long-term lunar presence and using the Moon as a steppingstone on the way to Mars.

    One week from today NASA will launch the Orion spacecraft into space to orbit the moon.

    The Artemis-1 mission is the first step to putting American astronauts back onto the surface of the moon. And you can watch that launch live in a kind of virtual visual surround sound, in a first-of-its-kind experience at the Faulkner Planetarium in Twin Falls.

    It’s a new way to watch space missions and Rick Greenawald, the Faulkner Planetarium Manager at the Herrett Center for Arts and Sciences at the College of Southern Idaho joined Idaho Matters to tell us more.

    The Four Corners wildfire, west of Lake Cascade, is sparking evacuations in central Idaho. Here's what we know as of 12 p.m. on Aug. 19.

    There is an update on the murder case against Lori Vallow Daybell, the latest on Idaho's abortion bans, and a possible special legislative session. We also look at the risks posed by MacKay Dam, the impact of population growth on Idaho's water supply, and a heated library board meeting over books.

    Exploring the Central Idaho Sawtooth Mountains Aug 18, 2022

    ( Rachel Cohen)

    Travel with us to the Salmon River north of Ketchum. Ducks are swimming, beavers are building dams and a pair of sandhill cranes observe a waterfall in the early morning light.

    The Sawtooth National Recreation Area is home to more than 700,000 acres of mountain peaks, 700 miles of trails and more than 300 alpine lakes … all in central Idaho. This month marks 50 years since the SNRA was formed by the U.S. Congress.

    Rachel Cohen went to the Sawtooths to look at the past, present and future of this natural area. She joined Idaho Matters to talk about her experience in this wild and beautiful landscape. She asked many questions in her multi-part series, including:

    • Why isn’t the SNRA a National Park?
    • Why are salmon the ‘soul’ of the SNRA?
    • How is the intersection of public and private land working?
    • Why is the SNRA called Idaho’s conservation experiment?

    As of last week, over one million people in the United States have died from COVID-19 and 500 people each day are dying from the virus.

    Despite those numbers, many say the pandemic is over and Thursday the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention changed many of its recommendations around COVID-19.

    The Wall Street Journal reports that according to the CDC, schools and workplaces don’t have to screen healthy people and students, the six-foot distancing rule has been dropped and unvaccinated people don’t have to quarantine after exposure to COVID.

    This comes as kids are heading back to school in Idaho.

    So is the COVID-19 pandemic over? Has the virus or the science changed? Dr. David Pate, Former CEO of St Luke's Health System and a current member of Idaho's Coronavirus Task Force joined Idaho Matters to break this down.
