Why this Matters
Plaintiffs challenge an Idaho law that makes it a crime to assist individuals seeking an abortion outside the state. They argue that the statute is vague and therefore violates the due process clause. They also argue that the law violates their right to travel both within and outside the state and free speech rights. Aiding travel ensures that individuals living in states that prohibit abortion can access safe abortion elsewhere.
Potential Impact
Preventing organizations and other support networks from assisting individuals seeking abortion care outside of their state will exacerbate the health harms of individuals who already face significant hardships in accessing safe abortion health care.
