Total abortion ban
- Abortions are not being provided at any stage of pregnancy in Idaho, except:
- to save the life of the pregnant person; or
- for a pregnancy that is the result of rape or incest that have been reported to law enforcement. This is only an option in the first trimester of pregnancy.
- You can learn more about emergency medical treatment under Getting the medical care you need on our Legal Rights and Risk page.
- No matter your age, you have the constitutional right to travel to another state where abortions are still being legally provided.
Helping someone under 18 years old
- A federal judge temporarily blocked a law in Idaho that makes it a crime for anyone to help someone in Idaho who is under 18 years old get an abortion, in or out of the state, without the consent of a parent or legal guardian. Everyone currently still has the constitutional right to travel to another state where abortions are being legally provided.

Civil consequences
- In Idaho, the father, grandparent, sibling, aunt, or uncle of the “preborn child” can sue someone who performs or provides an abortion in civil court for $20,000 or more.
Self-managed abortion is not a crime in Idaho after a court decided that the law was unconstitutional. But what the law says and what happens in reality can be very different.
