Thousands of Idaho women cannot travel for abortions due to parole, probation
Spokesman Review ^ | July 9, 2022 | Audrey Dutton

Posted on 07/09/2022 7:24:23 AM PDT by Morgana

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.

A couple of possible alternatives for them: 1) use birth control, 2) CYL.

Just guessing, but the same is probably true for men. Now this may just be coincidental, but here in Idaho we lead peaceful, law-abiding lives and crime rates in our towns and cities are low.

Ontario, Oregon is on the Idaho border about 55 miles from Boise.

The article assumes that all women on parole or probation in Idaho are of childbearing age and will desire to terminate a pregnancy.

[[An endless stream of unlikely hypotheticals.

Anything to justify murdering our posterity.]]

Exactly. What the left are dojgn nkw is the equivalent of the ,ast desperate cries of a demonically inspired group as they get defeated for,the good of the nation. It’s, ike a light has been turned on, and all the snakes and creepy crawlies are hissing and screaming and scattering to their corners to sulk.

Theymknow,theynhave no moral justification for murdering their unborn children, and they are pissed, and screaming like demon driven molech devotees
