Idaho Gov. Brad Little on Wednesday signed into law a bill that makes it a crime for adults to help minors travel to other states for abortion care without parental consent.

bans adults from"recruiting, harboring, or transporting" pregnant minors for abortions without parental consent, noting that such activity would still be illegal even if the abortion itself is provided out of state. The bill also criminalizes helping a minor obtain abortion medication without the consent of a parent or guardian. Both activities are considered"abortion trafficking" under the new law.

During a state Senate debate last week, Democratic state Sen. Melissa Wintrow said the legislation"further shackles young girls that need help," and harms those who try to help them. But Sen. Todd Lakey, a Republican and a co-sponsor of the bill, said it will"help protect our kids. It does help prevent and protect against abortion, especially those that occur without consent of a parent in another state."

Time to learn about birth control.. 🤓

well, that would be called kidnapping... already illegal, and across state lines makes it a federal offence. Bigtime prison time. ... so the law is meaningless, the virtue signaling of opposition meaningless, all just BS politics as usual ... but you got watch that shiny thing

The left has gone nuts with what decisions they'll let kids make. It's just a matter of time before you see them condoning a homosexual man marrying a little boy. Yep, I said it!

Good.

Why all the sudden the same people who call abortion health care thinks it's totally fine to sexualize children.

Because helping rape victims getting care is not what the GOP wants.

So if the child is 16 and has a license and drives themselves, what happens then?

Make no mistake this is aimed at social workers, lawyers professionals that would help a child raped by a family member while the parent stood by and did nothing

Isn’t taking any minor across state lines ( or anywhere) without parental consent against the law?

Who still want to live in Idaho? Maybe potatoes 🥔 lovers

Idaho wants to force young girls who are rape victims to carry a pregnancy due to their rapist to term. Idaho likes to legislate their misogynistic cruelty.

This must be 200 years old news!

Leave it to a Republican to not help children.

🤦🏻‍♂️

That sounds like a kidnapping scenario in the first place!

Democrats are a bunch of child pedophiles, they all should be in jail instead.

Po-Dunk America 🥴🇺🇲😵‍💫

They won’t be happy until women start dying, will they?

Minors? U mean girls. Idaho is restricting where girls can go to get healthcare.

👍🏻👍🏻

Backwards fucking country.

All hail the ayatollah of Idaho!
