The new law is the first of its kind in the U.S. and comes less than a year after Idaho banned nearly all abortions.
Lev Radin/Pacific Press/LightRocket via Getty Images, FILE, which was first introduced to the Idaho Legislature in February, lays out a new crime of "abortion trafficking," in which an adult helps a pregnant, unemancipated minor obtain an abortion or abortion pills "by recruiting, harboring or transporting" them without the consent of their parent or guardian.
In his letter, Little clarified that the new law "does not criminalize, preclude or otherwise impair interstate travel, nor does it limit an adult woman from obtaining an abortion in another state."
