Idaho abortion ballot initiative exceeds signature requirements for November election
A measure that would decriminalize abortion in Idaho has the signatures it needs to show up on election ballots this November.
The “Reproductive Freedom and Privacy Act” would allow doctors to perform abortions in Idaho without the threat of jail time.
The nonprofit Idahoans United for Women and Families created the ballot measure.
Executive director Melanie Folwell says the initiative would return Idaho to its previous abortion laws before Roe V. Wade was overturned by the U.S Supreme Court in 2022.
