Idaho enacts controversial laws on abortion and gender-affirming care.
TL;DR Summary
Idaho Governor Brad Little signed a bill into law that makes it illegal for an adult to help a minor get an abortion without parental consent, creating a new crime of "abortion trafficking." The law is the first of its kind in the U.S. and carries a penalty of two to five years in prison. Opponents have promised a legal battle, and Idaho is one of 13 states that already effectively ban abortion in all stages of pregnancy.
