Idaho Gov. Brad Little on Wednesday signed a bill that makes it a criminal offense for an adult to help a minor get an abortion without parental consent, even if the procedure to terminate the pregnancy is done out of state, formally establishing a new crime called “abortion trafficking.”
Little, a Republican, signed into law House Bill 242, which makes it a crime in Idaho for an adult to procure abortion pills for a minor without parental consent by “recruiting, harboring or transporting the pregnant minor” to terminate a pregnancy without parental permission.
