The “Child Custody Protection Act” has been reintroduced in Congress yesterday. The bill, which passed in the House last year before it was defeated in the Senate, would make it a federal misdemeanor for an adult to transport a minor over state lines to evade parental notification laws and obtain an abortion.
This year’s bill was introduced by Reps. Ileana Ros-Lehtinen (R-FL) and James Barcia (D-MI) and has already found 122 sponsors.
