Idaho and Kansas propose bills restricting access to abortion and gender-affirming care for minors.
Idaho House Bill 242 would make it a crime for an adult to aid a minor in undergoing an abortion or obtaining abortion pills across state lines with the intent to conceal their purpose from the minor’s parents or legal guardian. The proposal passed the Idaho House and is now before the state Senate. If it passes the GOP-majority chamber, it would head to Republican Gov. Brad Little’s desk for signature. The bill would add to Idaho’s abortion laws, already some of the most restrictive in the country.
