Idaho Gov. Brad Little (R) signed a bill into law Wednesday that makes it a crime for an adult to help a minor obtain an abortion without parental consent, including by traveling to a state where abortion is legal.
An adult convicted of breaking the law will face two to five years in prison, and the minor’s parents and siblings can sue, as can the person who impregnated the minor and other children of the minor., though someone who raped the minor can’t sue under the law.
By criminalizing assistance for minors who want to conceal an abortion from their parents, advocates say, the bill is targeting young adults who may be most vulnerable — seeking an abortion because they are “in dangerous, abusive situations,” Planned Parenthood Alliance Advocates West said on Twitter.
To avoid unconstitutional overreach, the law criminalizes the part of the trip that happens within Idaho: Anyone who helps a minor obtain an abortion or abortion pill by “recruiting, harboring, or transporting the pregnant minor within this state commits the crime of abortion trafficking,”State Rep. Barbara Ehardt , one of the bill’s sponsors, has championed it as a “parental rights” bill.
