Abortion rights advocates have noted that people in states like Idaho, which have outlawed nearly all abortions, will soon have to travel across state lines to terminate pregnancies. Planned Parenthood plans to open a new clinic just across the border in Ontario.
But an estimated 5,127 women in Idaho won’t have the option to seek abortion care out of state because of parole or probation, according to a report by the Prison Policy Initiative, a research and advocacy organization whose stated mission is to “expose the broader harm of mass criminalization” and “create a more just society.”
There were 4,346 women on probation in Idaho as of 2016, the initiative said. Another 781 were on parole. Idaho requires those women to obtain permission from their supervision officer before leaving the state.
“With the sole authority to approve or deny a trip across state lines for abortion care, a probation or parole officer might choose to prioritize their own personal beliefs about abortion over the desires of the individual under their control,” the report said. “They might also choose to delay the decision until it’s no longer possible – or safe – for the individual they’re supervising to terminate a pregnancy.”
According to Boise State Public Radio reporting, Idaho has the highest female incarceration rate of any state in the country. In the Gem State, 110 per 100,000 women were incarcerated in 2020; a rate more than double the national average, according to the report.
More than 200,000 women are under probation or parole supervision in the states with abortion trigger laws, which outlaw abortions to varying degrees upon the U.S. Supreme Court’s decision to remove a nationwide constitutional right to abortion.

Women on probation or parole can't travel to get an abortion.
Oh boo hoo hoo.
Maybe we can make their probation officer's office a baby safe haven?
Well, I would say that have other more pressing issues.
Sheesh...these people are lunatics...
Choices have consequences. This should be taught everyday in schools.
If children are a blessing from the Lord then who’s “blessing” is abortion?
Here’s a hint: he was a murderer from the beginning (John 8:44) ... do his work, expect his pay.
Don’t do the crime, if you can’t do the time.
“Probe”-ation is the source of the problem.
So we should automatically assume any woman on probation or parole is pregnant as we speak? These ppl are such dumbasses. There is such a thing as contraception. If abortion isn’t an option, then try extra hard not to get knocked up. Duh! It’s not rocket science.
Women and criminals hardest hit
Close. Your. Legs.
Problem solved.
Oh noes, what is Miss I Da Ho gonna do now?
Oh well...Maybe should have used ancient chinese secret called “Birth Control”, or better yet, Just Say No to that roll in the Hay.
In what alternative reality is Ontario across the border from Idaho?
Thousands and thousands. maybe millions? This is just awful. But if they’re really criminals, what do they care about the law?
OH, the huge manatee.
ISGAS.
I Scarcely Give A ......
An endless stream of unlikely hypotheticals.
Anything to justify murdering our posterity.
Perhaps they should use birth control
Who’s got the tiny violin picture??
