Idaho Gov Signs Nation’s First “Abortion Trafficking” Bill

Boise Public Radio reports:

Idaho is poised to become the first state in the country to make it a crime to help a minor get an abortion without their parent’s consent after Gov. Brad Little signed the bill into law Wednesday.

That’s according to Planned Parenthood, the pro-abortion rights group which has said it intends to challenge the law. Barring any court action, it will take effect in 30 days. The law also applies to someone obtaining abortion pills for a minor in Idaho unbeknownst to their parents.

If convicted, a person could spend between two to five years in prison under the law. While parental consent negates the crime, it will still be possible for a person to be charged and have to defend themselves in court.
