<\/div>

An Idaho lawmaker has proposed a bill that would punish adults for facilitating the abortions of minors who aren\u2019t their children.<\/span><\/p>\n

House Bill 98<\/span><\/a> would amend existing law by defining human trafficking as “recruiting, harboring, or transporting a pregnant minor with the intent to deprive the pregnant minor’s parent of knowledge of, and to procure, a criminal abortion.\u201d It allows perpetrators to defend themselves in court by showing that the minor\u2019s guardian consented to the abortion.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cIt is something that, unfortunately, is happening, and I don\u2019t think any of us want to see our minors not only trafficked but in this situation,\u201d Rep. Barbara Ehardt (R-Idaho Falls), who is sponsoring the bill, <\/span>reportedly said<\/span><\/a>.\u00a0<\/span>\u201cWe will make sure that we have top-notch legal authority to deal with this.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

One of the provisions of the bill allows the state\u2019s attorney general to have sole discretion in prosecuting the offense if the local attorney refuses. It carries a penalty of two to five years in prison, in addition to the 25 years typically given for human trafficking, the Idaho Statesman reported.<\/span><\/p>\n

The bill comes amid concerns that state residents will attempt to sidestep abortion restrictions by traveling across state lines or obtaining medication abortions via mail. Most preborn human beings are protected from abortion in Idaho following the enactment of the state’s trigger law<\/a> in August, which only allows abortion to save the mother’s life or in documented cases of rape<\/a> or incest, though induced abortion is never necessary<\/a>.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

\"Walgreens<\/a><\/p>\n

Planned Parenthood Great Northwest, Hawai’i, Indiana, Kentucky (PPGNHAIK) denounced the law in a statement Wednesday.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cPreventing people \u2013 including minors \u2013 from accessing abortion is dangerous and irresponsible,\u201d said Rebecca Gibron, CEO of PPGNHAIK.\u00a0<\/span>\u201cI can\u2019t think of anything more cruel than a state forcing a child to remain pregnant and punishing people who try to help them. Shame on these lawmakers. All Idahoans should be paying attention to this extreme attempt at government overreach to control our movements in and out of the state of Idaho. This is merely the tip of the iceberg, and we won\u2019t stand for it.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

Earlier this year, the Idaho Supreme Court upheld multiple laws prohibiting abortions.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

In a 3-2 ruling, the court <\/span>said<\/span><\/a>: \u201cThere simply is no support for a conclusion that a right to abortion was \u2018deeply rooted\u2019 at the time the Inalienable Rights Clause was adopted.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

It added: \u201cTo the contrary, the relevant history and traditions of Idaho show abortion was viewed as an immoral act and treated as a crime. Thus, we cannot conclude the framers and adopters of the Inalienable Rights Clause intended to implicitly protect abortion as a fundamental right.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

Did you know that as little as $10 a month is enough to reach more than 3,000 people with the truth about abortion that no one else is telling them? Click here to start saving lives 365 days a year.<\/strong><\/i><\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
