—making the experience of birth in the state risky. HB 242 restricts the last possibility youth have of traveling to neighboring states for safe abortion.
Trafficked youth already struggle to receive stigma-free and trauma-informed reproductive healthcare. Laws like Idaho’s threaten to undermine abortion access for survivors of sexual violence and trafficking. Idaho’s law is a test and will result in forced pregnancies, unsafe abortions and increased powerlessness for youth trafficking survivors in the state and throughout the country.
Adolescent health professionals and advocates must remain vigilant and continue to mobilize a multi-strategy response to ensure adolescents’ reproductive rights amid current assaults, like HB 242. The adoption of in states like California, Washington, Oregon, Illinois and New York may provide some level of protection for abortion patients who travel out of state for services, and the providers that serve them. Still, ultimately, laws like HB 242 must be stopped.
