Idaho Gov. Brad Little has signed a bill into law that makes it illegal for an adult to help a minor get an abortion without parental consent.
Opponents have promised a legal battle.
“Yet again, Idaho’s governor disregarded constituents and signed HB 242 into law, creating the nation’s first crime of so-called ‘abortion trafficking,’” Idaho State Director for Planned Parenthood Alliance Advocates-West said Wednesday on Twitter. “This legislation is despicable, and we’re going to do everything in our power to stop it.”, and is one of a handful of states that already have laws penalizing those who help people of any age obtain abortions.
State leaders in Washington, Oregon and California have promoted the West Coast as a safe haven for abortion procedures, and lawmakers in Oregon and Washington are considering bills tofrom criminal liability. Oregon’s bill would allow physicians to provide abortion to anyone regardless of age and would bar them in certain cases from disclosing that information to parents.
Thirty-six states require parental involvement in a minor’s decision to have an abortion, though most allow exceptions under certain circumstances such as medical emergencies, according to the Guttmacher Institute, a research group supporting abortion rights.
