Idaho sued over new law making it a crime to help minors get an abortion without parental consent
Fox News
Advocacy groups and an attorney are suing Idaho over a law that would criminalize people for helping minors seek abortions in other states.
The Legal Voice activist group filed the lawsuit in federal court Tuesday on behalf of Nampa attorney Lourdes Matsumoto, the Northwest Abortion Access Fund, and the Indigenous Idaho Alliance. All of the plaintiffs work with and sometimes assist minors who are seeking abortions, and they want to continue that work without the threat of prosecution.
They contend the law is overly vague and violates both their First Amendment right to discuss abortion with minors and their Fourth Amendment right to travel freely between states.
