Idaho Implements Controversial Restrictions on Reproductive Rights and Transgender Healthcare
TL;DR Summary
Idaho has become the first state to make it illegal for minors to leave the state to get an abortion without parental consent. The new law, signed by Governor Brad Little, would create a crime called “abortion trafficking,” carrying a penalty of two to five years in jail for anyone who helps a person under 18 get an abortion or obtain abortion pills without permission from a parent or guardian. The law allows the filing of lawsuits against doctors who perform such abortions, even if the doctors live outside the state. Abortion rights advocates are expected to challenge the law in court.
