My favorite part is that if a rape results in a pregnancy and the woman has an abortion, the rapist's family can sue.
Where does it say that?
From your article
"Under the Idaho bill no one can perform an abortion on a pregnant woman when a fetal heartbeat has been detected, except in the case of a medical emergency, rape or incest."
Well millions of conservatives are pro-choice and support womans rights but yes many of these bat shit insane bills are written and pushed by individual conservatives and voted on by majority of conservatives in powerIdaho Legislature passes bill banning abortion after six weeks | CNN Politics
The Idaho Legislature gave final approval Monday to a bill that would ban abortion after six weeks and allow the father, sibling, grandparent, aunt or uncle of the fetus to bring legal action against the medical professional who performed the abortion.www.cnn.com
My favorite part is that if a rape results in a pregnancy and the woman has an abortion, the rapist's family can sue. Conservatives are taking away women's rights and giving power to a rapist's kin. This is just nuts.
Idaho Governor Calls Abortion Law ‘Unwise’ but Signs It Anyway
The law, modeled after one in Texas, bans abortions after about six weeks and allows some people — including relatives of rapists — to sue abortion providers.
The governor, who is running for re-election this year and faces a far-right challenge from Ms. McGeachin, said he also had “significant concerns with the unintended consequences this legislation will have on victims of sexual assault.” While the law makes limited exceptions for cases of rape — specifying, for example, that rapists cannot file lawsuits against abortion providers — it does allow their family members to file suit.
“Ultimately, this legislation risks retraumatizing victims by affording monetary incentives to wrongdoers and family members of rapists,” Mr. Little wrote. He encouraged the Legislature, which is controlled by wide Republican majorities, to rectify any unintended consequences of the legislation.

I used the CNN article because people complain the NYT is behind a pay wall. But I'm going to stick with the NYT from here on out.
Another unconstitutional bill.
Why not be a grown up and look it up yourself?Why not be a big boy and quote the actual text of the law?
