Controversial Laws Signed by Idaho Governor Spark Legal Challenges.
TL;DR Summary
Idaho has passed a new law that makes it illegal for adults to help minors obtain an abortion without parental consent, including by traveling to a state where abortion is legal. The law brands such involvement by adults as “abortion trafficking.” The legislation makes Idaho the first state to make it illegal for minors to seek an out-of-state abortion when their parents aren’t involved. Abortion-rights advocates have vowed to fight the law, opening another front in the battle over abortion rights in one of the states that moved swiftly to enact bans after the June 2022 overturning of Roe v. Wade.
