Court documents show Idaho police began investigating the mother and son earlier this summer after a 15-year-old girl's mother told authorities her daughter had been sexually assaulted and later taken to Oregon to have an abortion. <nbtemplate data-id="AdPlaceholder" data-content="JTdCJTdE"></nbtemplate> With some narrow technical exceptions, <a href="https://www.cbsnews.com/news/idaho-near-total-abortion-ban-driving-doctors-out-of-the-state/" rel="nofollow" target="_blank"> abortion is banned throughout pregnancy in Republican-controlled Idaho </a> . The procedure is legal in left-leaning Oregon, prompting many patients to cross the state border for services. Since the U.S. Supreme Court overturned <a href="https://www.cbsnews.com/tag/roe-v-wade/" rel="nofollow"> Roe v. Wade </a> last year, 14 states, including Idaho, have imposed strict limitations on abortion rights. Idaho's law now categorizes abortion as a felony, with few exceptions, such as if the procedure is essential to save the mother's life or in reported cases of incest or rape. Anyone who helps a minor leave the state for an abortion could face jail time. According to an affidavit, the mother of the girl who traveled for the abortion believed her daughter was living with her father, but told authorities she later discovered the teen was staying at her boyfriend's house for several months in Pocatello, Idaho. <nbtemplate data-id="AdPlaceholder" data-content="JTdCJTdE"></nbtemplate> The girl told law enforcement officials she began having a consensual sexual relationship with her boyfriend when he was 17 and she was 15. The relationship continued when he turned 18, right around when the girl said she became pregnant. According to court documents, the girl said she was "happy" when she found out she was pregnant, but her boyfriend was not — warning that he would not pay for child support and that he would end their relationship. <nbtemplate data-id="AdPlaceholder" data-content="JTdCJTdE"></nbtemplate> The boyfriend's mother later demanded that the girl not tell her parents and threatened to "kick her out of their house" if she did. The girl told authorities she then traveled to Bend, Oregon — about 550 miles from Pocatello — with her boyfriend and his mom in May to get an abortion. Police later used the girl's cellphone data to confirm that the trio traveled to Oregon around the same time. The mother later told police she rented a car to go with her son and the girl to Oregon and said that the abortion was "mutually agreed upon" between the girl and her son. She said she never "coerced" anyone into having an abortion. Prosecutors have since charged the mother with second-degree kidnapping and the son with the same charge, along with rape and three counts of producing child sexually exploitative material after authorities said that the boyfriend captured sexually explicit video and photos of the girl. <nbtemplate data-id="AdPlaceholder" data-content="JTdCJTdE"></nbtemplate> The mother is also facing multiple drug charges. Prosecutors say the kidnapping charges were brought because the mother and son intended to "keep or conceal" the girl from her parents by transporting "the child out of the state for the purpose of obtaining an abortion." Both the mother and son have been assigned a public defender, David Martinez, who said he was assigned the case the day before and declined to comment. Idaho's restrictive abortion laws are fueling an exodus of OB/GYNs, with more than half of those who specialize in high-risk pregnancies expected to leave the state by the end of the year. Doctors CBS News spoke with said treating non-viable pregnancies, in which the fetus is not expected to survive, puts them and their patients in what they call an impossible position. <nbtemplate data-id="AdPlaceholder" data-content="JTdCJTdE"></nbtemplate> Dr. Anne Feighner, an OB/GYN in Boise, said she felt sad and frustrated upon hearing what one of her patients went through delivering a baby in a hotel bathroom after traveling out of state for an abortion. <a href="https://www.cbsnews.com/news/idaho-valor-health-hospital-stops-labor-and-delivery-staff-shortages/" rel="nofollow" target="_blank"> Two Idaho hospitals </a> this year announced they would no longer provide labor and delivery services, with one in northern Idaho <a href="https://www.cbsnews.com/news/idaho-hospital-bonner-general-stops-labor-delivery-services-citing-political-climate-doctor-shortages/" rel="nofollow"> citing </a> "doctor shortages" and the state's "political climate." </div></body>
