It's still being debated that would make it a crime to seek abortion access in another

Abortion access is changing across the country.

Last year, Texas passed a law banning most abortions after six weeks.

make performing an abortion a felony, punishable by up to 10 years in prison.

And in Idaho, Republican governor Brat Little signed a ban on abortions after about six
