Child Interstate Abortion Notification Act

This bill creates new federal crimes related to transporting a minor across state lines for an abortion.

Specifically, the bill makes it a crime to knowingly transport a minor across a state line to obtain an abortion without satisfying the requirements of a parental involvement law in the minor's resident state. A parental involvement law requires parental consent or notification, or judicial authorization, for a minor to obtain an abortion.

The bill prohibits an individual who has committed incest with a minor from knowingly transporting the minor across a state line to receive an abortion.

Finally, the bill makes it a crime for a physician to knowingly perform or induce an abortion on an out-of-state minor without first notifying the minor's parent.
