TL;DR Summary

Idaho lawmakers have passed a bill that would make it a crime to help pregnant minors get an abortion across state lines without parental consent, with a penalty of two to five years in prison. The bill now awaits the approval of Republican Governor Brad Little. Supporters call it "abortion trafficking," while opponents argue that it is unnecessary and could harm minors who are in trouble. Idaho already has some of the strictest abortion laws, only allowing the procedure in cases of rape, incest, or if the mother's life is in danger.
