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.

Criminal skanks.
To “appease the left” we could allow abortions, BUT, only for men who think they are women. That way we can tell The left we support abortion, and theymwill be forced to admit that only biological women can get pregnant if they wanna lush the issue further.
In just about every state, that I am aware of, travel outside state borders requires parolees or probationers to get permission from their parole/probation officer. In most cases travel for medical reasons is typically granted. I would think any denial of cross border travel for an abortion would result in legal action against the probation/parole office and the individual officer. I doubt any officer would risk that. YMMV.
awwwwww poor paroles
How geographically ignorant is the writer of the screed above?
Idaho borders the Canadian province of British Columbia.
Ontario is about 1500 miles to the East.
Mea Culpa!
Ontario is the largest city in Malheur County, Oregon, United States. It lies along the Snake River at the Idaho border. The population was 11,366 at the 2010 census. The city is the largest community in the region of far eastern Oregon, also known as the Western Treasure Valle
Yep. Another epic fail by the leftists trying to make the case for abortion on demand.
That’s where all the Treasure Valley stoners go for weed, there’s at least one dispensary that I know of.
Thousands ?
Diapers with orange stripes to get acclimated early, for all the babies.
You know their premise is weak when they resort to absurd hypotheticals.
There are approximately 1000 females in prison in Idaho.I don’t understand how there’s thousands at risk of not being able to travel interstate because of probation and parole.
“The number of women in Idaho prisons has grown 23 percent in the past two years, from 950 in 2016 to 1,178 as of Aug. 31. The male prison population only grew by 7 percent in that time.”
My thoughts, too. Boo Hoo.....
Maybe Biden will put some abattoirs on Federal property where they can go in Idaho to murder the unborn babies in their wretched wombs.......
Pure speculation. No basis in fact.
They can use birth control or have their tubes tied.
If on parole or probation they obviously need to learn some self control. Alas, people on parole and probation are probably unable to see more than five minutes into the future.
idahos...
Women on probation or parole haven’t figured out what makes babies?
