Gov. Brad Little has signed a pair of bills, including one of the first attempts to curtail traveling out of state for an abortion.
Idaho Gov. Brad Little announced that he had signed House Bill 71 into law. The law criminalizes doctors who provide gender-affirming care to minors, regardless of parents' decisions.
"In signing this bill, I recognize our society plays a role in protecting minors from surgeries or treatments that can irreversibly damage their healthy bodies," Little said in a letter after signing the bill."However, as policy makers we should take great caution whenever we consider allowing the government to interfere with loving parents and their decisions about what is best for their children.
“No kid is equipped to make a decision like this and it’s something that should definitely be waited on," Cole said. “A part of what went wrong with me was that I wasn’t fully developed when I went through the process.” What is Idaho House Bill 242?The bill has gained national attention as it's the first of its kind looking to prosecute an aspect of traveling to different states for an abortion. Idaho Planned Parenthood Alliance Advocates called the bill"extreme."
