Lawsuit challenges Idaho ban on assisting minors seeking out-of-state abortions

  • Two advocacy groups and an attorney sued Idaho over a new law criminalizing helping minors get abortions without parental consent.
  • Plaintiffs argue the law infringes on First Amendment rights to discuss abortion and Fourth Amendment rights to interstate travel.
  • Idaho's strict abortion laws have led some residents to seek abortions in neighboring states with more lenient laws.
  • Lawsuit aims to have the law declared unconstitutional and prevent its enforcement.
  • Plaintiffs include advocacy groups, a nonprofit helping minors access abortion care, and an attorney assisting domestic violence victims.
