NATION IN BRIEF : IDAHO : Abortion Rights Activists Hold Vigil

Abortion rights activists held a candlelight vigil outside the Idaho Capitol in Boise, promising to continue to fight a bill establishing the most restrictive abortion law in any state. “This issue is not over for us,” the Rev. James Hulett of Freedom Means Choice told more than 400 supporters on the eve of an expected state Senate vote on the bill, which would send it to Democratic Gov. Cecil D. Andrus. Anti-abortion activists also pressed their case with Andrus. The bill would ban more than 90% of the 1,500 abortions performed annually in Idaho.
