"State House Bill 242 bans adults from "recruiting, harboring, or transporting" pregnant minors for abortions without parental consent, noting that such activity would still be illegal even if the abortion itself is provided out of state. The bill also criminalizes helping a minor obtain abortion medication without the consent of a parent or guardian. Both activities are considered "abortion trafficking" under the new law."

..."Idaho Gov. Brad Little on Wednesday signed into law a bill that makes it a crime for adults to help minors travel to other states for abortion care without parental consent.
State House Bill 242 bans adults from "recruiting, harboring, or transporting" pregnant minors for abortions without parental consent, noting that such activity would still be illegal even if the abortion itself is provided out of state. The bill also criminalizes helping a minor obtain abortion medication without the consent of a parent or guardian. Both activities are considered "abortion trafficking" under the new law.
A conviction for abortion trafficking comes with a minimum sentence of two years in state prison, and a maximum sentence of five years.
In a letter to the speaker of the state House confirming the signing, Little said House Bill 242 "seeks only to prevent unemancipated minor girls from being taken across state lines for an abortion without the knowledge and consent of her parent or guardian."
Idaho already has a near-total ban on abortion that was enacted as a trigger law following the Supreme Court decision in July 2022 to overturn Roe v. Wade."...

Good for him.
It is still illegal for a minor to get a tattoo in Idaho, with or without parental consent. Anyone really think an abortion is a less weighty issue with less potential for lifelong medical and/or psychological ramifications. Parents should be involved in EVERY healthcare decision for the minors in their care, PERIOD.
