The Ninth Circuit Court of Appeals just handed the pro-life movement a huge victory on abortion earlier this month by reversing an injunction and allowing the state of Idaho to enforce its law banning adults from taking minors to get abortions without parental consent.

The appeals court had initially allowed the injunction, but then decided after a hearing that the state would likely win the case and reversed it.

Here’s more from Jason Rantz:

The Ninth Circuit Court of Appeals just handed conservatives a major victory on abortion by upholding key portions of an Idaho law banning adults from transporting minors to terminate a pregnancy without parental consent. But the media isn’t really talking about it.

The Idaho legislature signed House Bill 242 into law in 2022 — the so-called “abortion trafficking” ban. The law prohibits adults from “recruiting, harboring or transporting” minors to get an abortion without parental consent. Idaho only allows for abortion to prevent the death of the mother or in cases of rape or incest.

While the Ninth Circuit upheld a preliminary injunction that determined “recruiting” to be unconstitutionally vague, they reversed the injunction that stopped the state from enforcing the “harboring or transporting” parts of the law. The three-judge panel said the state would likely win as the case continues.

“Idaho’s laws were passed specifically to protect the life of the unborn and the life of the mother,” Idaho Attorney General Raúl Labrador said. “Trafficking a minor child for an abortion without parental consent puts both in grave danger, and we will not stop protecting life in Idaho.”

The whole point behind this ‘abortion trafficking’ is to conceal these abortions from the parents and I’m very glad the Ninth Circuit released the injunction and indicated that his law is constitutional.
