Although Idaho has a near-total abortion ban—with exceptions only for rape, incest, and saving a pregnant person’s life—some legislators don’t think that's enough. Outside of banning abortion in their state alone, they also hope to make it more difficult—and illegal—for some to travel outside of the state for the procedure.
GOP legislators in Idaho introduced a bill Tuesday that would make it harder for minors to get abortions in other states. Introduced by Republican Rep. Barbara Ehardt, House Bill 98, makes it illegal to help transport a pregnant minor in or outside of Idaho for an abortion.
