Child Interstate Abortion Notification Act

This bill would change federal criminal law to make it illegal to take a minor to another state for an abortion in order to get around that state’s rules that involve parents (like telling a parent or getting a parent’s permission). The bill’s sections focus on “transportation of minors” to avoid such laws.

Key points:

• Who is affected: minors and people who transport them across state lines for an abortion.
• What changes: creates a federal ban on taking a minor to another state to avoid parental-involvement laws for abortion.
