Idaho already has some of the most extreme abortion restrictions in the nation, and things just got worse, John xxxxxx.

According to NPR, Idaho recently passed a bill that would criminally charge people for helping pregnant minors obtain an abortion across state lines without parental consent. If convicted, the person found guilty will face up to five years in prison. Additionally, the bill allows family members and the person who impregnated the minor to sue the doctor who performed the abortion for $20,000.

This extreme anti-abortion bill has been coined the “abortion trafficking bill.” According to Senate Minority Leader Melissa Wintrow, a Democrat who has worked with sexual assault survivors for decades, this wording cheapens the experience of human trafficking victims forced into slavery or prostitution.

To be clear: Idaho Republicans are unequivocally empowering rapists while putting the lives of pregnant minors in danger.

Red states are trying to one-up each other to pass the most dangerous, controlling anti-abortion bills. It is becoming a dangerous time to be a woman – or even an ally for women – in America.

Here’s the thing, 47/50 state senates in America are majority-male. Some of them don’t even have one Democratic woman in the entire chamber. So that means that each time we hear about another one of these dangerous state-level bills about WOMEN’S BODIES, they are truly being written by a room full of men.

This is urgent: We must elect Democratic women to the halls of power where decisions about our bodies, our rights, and our freedom as women are being made. But we need your help.
