Washington Attorney General Bob Ferguson is leading a coalition of 20 attorneys general to file legal arguments in a lawsuit challenging Idaho’s travel ban making it a crime for adults to help minors travel out-of-state for abortion care.

The lawsuit filed by two advocacy groups and an attorney who works with sexual assault victims is suing the state of Idaho, claiming that the state violates their First Amendment right to discuss abortion with minors and their Fourth Amendment right to travel freely between states.
