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.

Well said.
A condition of parole/probation should be not getting pregnant. If so back in the slammer so they can get proper care.
Abstinence avoids accidents.....
Let me guess, this includes a 10 year old
If only birth control had been invented and made available at every drug store.
I wouldn’t have thought they had over five thousand crazy, criminal females in Idaho. That used to be a pretty conservative state.
Aww, what a shame. Then don’t get pregnant.
OMG what the hell will the next report be these people just NEVER give up!!
Waaaay too much to unpack here.
“THOUSANDS”
Is this a joke. Idaho, for Pete’s sake...
That’s a LOT of procreatin’. And they appear to be a “carefree” bunch with those pesky paroles and probations.
WOW
I will never stop crying.
It’s good to know that most abortions come from woman who are criminals, parolees, and downright scum.
I wouldn’t expect anything less from such ghouls wishing to murder their own babies.
Birthing convicts who don’t want to birth?
Hi.
In most states parolees and probation criminals can request a authorized travel document that are routinely granted.
Especially for a “medical” procedure.

That complaint seems to speak poorly of women who continue to make bad decisions...
Hypotheticals are not facts. People can get authorization to cross state lines - they have probation and parole officers for a reason. No need to malign them without any evidence.
They think *we* are the eugenicists—that we will change our minds on abortion if it means criminals would have fewer babies.
They probably cant vote either ...
Maybe they should consider behaving ...
Oh, TS. Get the morning after pill or keep your legs together. Geeshus.
You are criminals. I have little to no sympathy. YOU OWE ME!
