Idaho Governor Signs Controversial Bills Limiting Reproductive Rights 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." Anyone convicted of breaking the law will face two to five years in prison and could also be sued by the minor's parent or guardian. Opponents have promised a legal battle. Idaho is one of 13 states that effectively ban abortion in all stages of pregnancy, and is one of a handful of states that already have laws penalizing those who help people of any age obtain abortions.
