                decision as an individual to whom notification, or from

    ``(b) Offense.--
            ``(1) Generally.--Except as provided in subsection (c), 
        whoever knowingly transports a minor across a State line, with 
        the intent that the minor obtain an abortion, and thereby in 
        fact abridges the right of a parent of the minor under a law 
        requiring parental involvement in a minor's abortion decision, 
        shall be fined under this title or imprisoned not more than 1 
        year, or both.
            ``(2) Definition.--For purposes of this subsection, an 
        abridgement of the right of a parent of a minor occurs if an 
        abortion is performed on the minor, in a State other than the 
        State in which the minor resides, without the parental consent 
        or notification, or the judicial authorization, that would have 
        been required under a law requiring parental involvement in a 
        minor's abortion decision, had the abortion been performed in 
        the State where the minor resides.
    ``(c) Exceptions.--
            ``(1) Life-endangering conditions.--The prohibition under 
        subsection (b) shall not apply in the case of an abortion that 
        is necessary to save the life of a minor because her life is 
        endangered by a physical disorder, physical injury, or physical 
        illness, including a life-endangering physical condition caused 
        by or arising from the pregnancy itself.
            ``(2) Minors and parents.--A minor transported in violation 
        of this section, and any parent of the minor, may not be 
        prosecuted or sued for a violation of this section, a 
        conspiracy to violate this section, or an offense under section 
        2 or 3 based on a violation of this section.
    ``(d) Affirmative Defense.--It is an affirmative defense to a 
prosecution for an offense, or to a civil action, based on a violation 
of this section that the defendant reasonably believed, based on 
information the defendant obtained directly from a parent of the minor 
or other compelling facts, that before the minor obtained the abortion, 
the parental consent or notification, or judicial authorization, that 
would have been required under the law requiring parental involvement 
in a minor's abortion decision, had the abortion been performed in the 
State where the minor resides, took place.
    ``(e) Civil Action.--Any parent who suffers harm from a violation 
of subsection (b) may obtain appropriate relief in a civil action, 
unless the parent has committed an act of incest with the minor who was 
transported in violation of subsection (b).
``Sec. 2432. Transportation of minors in circumvention of certain laws 
              relating to incest
    ``Notwithstanding section 2431(c)(2), whoever has committed an act 
of incest with a minor and knowingly transports the minor across a 
State line with the intent that the minor obtain an abortion, shall be 
fined under this title or imprisoned not more than 1 year, or both.''.
    (b) Technical and Conforming Amendment.--The table of chapters for 
part I of title 18, United States Code, is amended by inserting after 
the item relating to chapter 117 the following:

``117A. Transportation of minors in circumvention of certain   2431.''.
                            laws relating to abortion.
Child Custody Protection Act of 2013 - Amends the federal criminal code to prohibit knowingly transporting a minor child across a state line to obtain an abortion (deems such transporting to be a de facto abridgment of the right of a parent under any law in the minor's state of residence that requires parental involvement in the minor's abortion decision). Makes an exception for an abortion necessary to save the life of the minor.  Makes it an affirmative defense to a prosecution or civil action under this Act that a defendant reasonably believed that before the minor obtained the abortion, the required parental consent or notification or judicial authorization took place. Imposes a fine and/or prison term of up to one year on anyone who has committed an act of incest with a minor and knowingly transports such minor across a state line to obtain an abortion.
