Idaho Will Seek to Revive 'abortion Trafficking' Law in US Appeals Court

Receive email when new articles are published on - Idaho will urge a federal appeals court on Tuesday to revive a 2023 law making it a crime to help a minor cross state lines for an abortion without her parent's consent, which a judge blocked in November.

U.S. Magistrate Judge Debora Grasham in Boise in a preliminary order found that the law signed by Republican Governor Brad Little just over a year ago violated the plaintiffs' rights to free speech and expression under the First Amendment of the U.S. Constitution.

Like other conservative jurisdictions, Idaho has sought to limit its residents from traveling elsewhere for abortions. The plaintiffs have said that in addition to violating their First Amendment rights, the law interferes with Idaho citizens' constitutional right to interstate travel.
