## Key language

> “Many states treat abortion as felony murder. Ours is a looser one” — Idaho Family Policy Center, May 2022

## Scorecard

Composite **4 of 12** — control record — meets or exceeds the standard. Each dimension is scored 0 (none), 1 (implied) or 2 (explicit); the rationale is the editor's one-line reason for every non-zero score. D2 and D4 are the fault line the abolitionist critique cares most about.

**Editor's note on this record:** Pushed Idaho toward stricter (equal-protection-like) treatment; closer to the standard than NRLC affiliates. Low composite reflects that.

| Dimension | Score | Meaning at this score | Rationale |
| --- | --- | --- | --- |
| D1 Exceptions | 1 | Implied — backs a bill known to contain them | — |
| D2 Immunity for the mother (fault line) | 1 | Implied | — |
| D3 Incrementalism | 0 | None | — |
| D4 Opposition to abolition or equal-protection bills (fault line) | 0 | None | — |
| D5 Framing | 0 | None | — |
| D6 Secular framing | 2 | Wholly secular, legal, fiscal, medical or political argument | — |

## Editorial note

The rubric records distance from the standard published by Abolitionists Rising, not a moral verdict; every organization scored here regards itself as pro-life. This record is verified from secondary coverage only: the primary text has not yet been located, and its scores rest on language quoted in press coverage. Scores are judgment calls applied consistently by the published rubric.
