TL;DR Summary

Idaho has passed a new law that criminalizes interstate travel for some abortions and makes it a crime to help a pregnant minor receive abortion care without parental consent, punishable by prison time. The law creates a new crime called “abortion trafficking,” which prohibits adults from obtaining abortion-inducing medication for a minor, or “recruiting, harboring, or transporting the pregnant minor” without the consent of the minor’s parent or guardian. The law also allows family members of the pregnant minor, as well as the person who impregnated her, to file civil lawsuits against the medical professionals who provide abortion care. Planned Parenthood and other abortion rights advocates have condemned the law, while supporters say it is designed to protect parental rights.
