We should thwart sluts when we can.
But somehow, they just keep getting away with it.
Idaho Gov. Brad Little signed a bill into law making it illegal for an adult to help an underage girl obtain an abortion without consent from a parent or guardian. Anyone convicted of violating the law could face two to five years in prison.
Referred to as the “abortion trafficking” law, the legislation is the first of its kind in the United States.
The law not only prohibits the procurement of abortion pills for an underage girl but also makes it illegal to transport a pregnant girl across state lines for an abortion without her parents’ knowledge and consent, The Associated Press.
Violators will face two to five years in prison and could also be sued by one of the girl’s parents or guardian. However, parents who have raped their child will not be able to sue, though the criminal penalties for those who helped the girl obtain an abortion still apply.
This Brad Little guy seems a lot more based than DeSantis
The law also grants the state’s attorney general the authority to prosecute someone for alleged violations of the law, even if the county prosecutor, who would typically be responsible for filing a criminal case, declines to do so, according to the newswire.
To avoid infringing upon the constitutional right to travel between states, Idaho’s law only criminalizes the in-state portion of a trip to an out-of-state abortion provider.
In his signing statement on April 5, the Republican governor wrote, “House Bill 242 does not criminalize, preclude, or otherwise impair interstate travel, nor does it limit an adult woman from obtaining an abortion in another state. Rather the ‘abortion trafficking’ provision in the bill seeks only to prevent unemancipated minor girls from being taken across state lines for an abortion without the knowledge and consent of her parent or guardian.”
A legal opinion from Idaho’s new Attorney General, Raul Labrador, states that the ban also prohibits healthcare providers from prescribing abortion medications to be picked up in other states or referring patients to out-of-state providers for abortion services, according to the newswire.
Planned Parenthood, the nation’s largest abortion business, announced it will challenge the law, arguing that it will isolate young people and put them in danger, particularly those in abusive situations.
However, Katie Daniel, state policy director of Susan B. Anthony Pro-Life America, a network of more than 1 million pro-life Americans nationwide, celebrated the ban.
“With too many cases of the abortion industry willfully covering up abuse and siding with traffickers, abortion trafficking is a nationwide issue,” Daniel said. “Through this landmark law, Gov. Little and pro-life legislative leaders have established one of the most enforceable parental consent policies in the country — setting a standard for deterring and punishing such horrific exploitation of young girls.”
Yeah, well, maybe young girls are exploiting you.
Idaho also completely banned child mutilation a short while ago. BASED!
