Voters have the chance to protect abortion access this fall--even in Idaho
Voters in as many as five states will have the chance to either safeguard—or roll back—abortion access this fall, among them Idaho, where election officials confirmed Monday that an initiative to restore the right to an abortion has qualified for the November ballot.
Nevada and Virginia, meanwhile, will choose whether to amend their constitutions to enshrine existing protections.
Republicans in Missouri, by contrast, are asking voters to repeal an amendment they approved two years ago to restore reproductive rights. And conservatives in Colorado are collecting signatures in an attempt to remove constitutional language protecting abortion rights that voters overwhelmingly passed in 2024.
The Idaho measure, known as the Reproductive Freedom and Privacy Act, would end the near-total ban that took effect in 2022 after the U.S. Supreme Court overturned Roe v. Wade.
