REUTERS/Shannon Stapleton Acquire Licensing RightsNov 9 (Reuters) - A U.S. judge has blocked Idaho from enforcing a recently passed law making it a crime to help a minor cross state lines for an abortion without her parents' consent. U.S. Magistrate Judge Debora Grasham in Boise, Idaho, said the law against so-called abortion trafficking, signed by Republican Governor Brad Little in April, violated the rights to free speech and expression under the First Amendment of the U.S. Constitution. The judge also said the law "fails to provide fair notice or ascertainable standard of what is and what is not abortion trafficking." Lourdes Matsumoto, a lawyer and advocate who works with victims of sexual violence, and the Northwest Abortion Access Fund and Indigenous Idaho Alliance, which help people in Idaho access abortion, sued to block the law.

“Namely, long-standing and well recognized fundamental rights of freedom of speech, expression, due process, and parental rights. Two advocacy groups and an attorney who works with sexual assault victims sued the state and Idaho Attorney General Raul Labrador over the law earlier this year. They also argued that the law infringes on the Fourth Amendment right to travel between states, as well as the right to travel within Idaho. “The state can, and Idaho does, criminalize certain conduct occurring within its own borders such as abortion, kidnapping, and human trafficking. The prosecutors did not invoke the so-called “abortion trafficking” law in that case.
