Federal appeals court pauses Idaho ruling on abortion exceptions

• A federal appeals court issued a 2-1 decision to pause a ruling on Idaho's abortion ban.
• The earlier ruling allowed exceptions to the ban when a doctor deemed it necessary for the mother's health.
• The decision was made by the 9th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals on Friday.
• The ruling was challenged by a doctor who sued over Idaho's abortion restrictions.
• The court's decision means Idaho's abortion ban remains in effect pending further legal proceedings.
