Summary

The Ninth Circuit Court of Appeals ruled Idaho can enforce a law criminalizing the interstate transportation of minors for abortion without parental consent, with 2-5 years in prison.

While the court struck down provisions banning speech promoting abortion care, critics warn the law aims to deter anyone from aiding minors, labeling them as “traffickers” for minimal assistance.

Similar legislation is emerging in other states, signaling broader restrictions on abortion access and potential criminalization of interstate travel for care, with advocates calling it a dangerous erosion of rights.

    The borders between all fifty states are tightening with increased border patrol style policing

    Infractions that results in a vehicles being pulled over and the contents tossed that may lead to imprisonmemt include but are not limited to cannabis even though other states allow citizens to ignore federal laws, wrong skin color which includes tans, and now certain medical care trips across state lines are enough to wind up on the list of bagged/tagged citizens that are then used in free prison labor that corporations like McDonald’s and the like then exploit

    The United States of America has turned into the The United Fifty Countries of America where each state has the power to ignore federal laws at will and state laws trump out everytime and where living wages and healthcare are nowhere to be found and no citizens carry the political power through voting to change anything and overfunded jackboots help keep the oligarchs in power by stomping the boots down on the populace
