Idaho Votes on Proposition 1 to Overturn Its Abortion Ban
- Proposition 1, the Reproductive Freedom and Privacy Act, qualified for the 3 November 2026 ballot as a citizen initiative[1]
- It would create a right to abortion before fetal viability, and after it to protect the patient's life or health, plus rights to contraception, fertility treatment, pregnancy-related and miscarriage care[3]
- Idahoans United for Women and Families gathered more than 100,000 signatures, and the Secretary of State certified the measure on 13 July 2026[3][5]
- On 4 September 2026 the Idaho Supreme Court unanimously ruled that the state's Yes/No ballot statements did not comply with the law and ordered new ones[5]
- Because it is a statute rather than a constitutional amendment, the legislature could repeal it, and Governor Brad Little has vowed to[3]
