Idaho Governor Signs Controversial Bills Restricting Abortion and Transgender Care.
TL;DR Summary
Idaho Governor Brad Little signed a new bill into law that criminalizes "abortion trafficking," making it illegal for adults to help minors obtain abortions or abortion pills out-of-state without parental permission. The law carries a penalty of up to five years in prison. Planned Parenthood and the ACLU are suing the state's attorney general over a legal opinion interpreting state law as prohibiting medical providers from referring a patient across state lines for abortion care. Idaho shares a border with several states where abortion is legal, including Washington, Oregon, Montana, and California.
