Idaho is one of only 5 states with an abortion ban so extreme it contains NO exceptions for the health of the mother. Women in Idaho are cruelly and senselessly forced to carry doomed pregnancies, even at the risk of their own health and life.
We can change this. We can protect patients and their doctors, ensure health-saving care, and get the government out of private medical decisions.
This November, Idahoans can vote YES on Proposition One.
Hear from real Idaho families who have been personally impacted by Idaho’s cruel lack of exceptions.
four years ago, the trigger ban changed idaho for the worse.
For nearly 50 years, Idahoans had the personal liberty to make private medical decisions related to pregnancy, miscarriage, and abortion with their doctors, not politicians. But Idaho’s trigger ban ended all that.
Since the ban, doctors are leaving, delivery rooms are closing, and everyone is finding it harder to access basic medical care. Worst of all, women are forced to get sicker, suffer, and risk their lives while they wait for life-saving care.
And even though they know this ban is breaking us, our legislature won’t act to fix what they’ve broken.
No one is coming to save us.
but here in Idaho, we have the power
to save ourselves by voting yes on prop one.
What it is
The Reproductive Freedom & Privacy Act is a citizen-led ballot initiative. That means it’s a law, written by citizens, who are acting when their legislature fails to fix a problem. Idahoans United for Women & Families is powering this initiative with grassroots volunteers and donors.
Our polling indicates that majorities of Idahoans agree: government should stay out of private medical decisions.
what it does
This initiative would protect the personal liberty to make one’s own reproductive healthcare decisions—including birth control, IVF, regulated abortion access, and more—with their doctor WITHOUT undue government overreach.
It’s the standard we had in Idaho for nearly 50 years, and is the only way to ensure that needed exceptions to the ban become law.
How we qualified
In order to qualify for the ballot, Idahoans United was required to gather signatures equal to 6% of registered Idaho voters (and in 18 of Idaho’s 35 legislative districts) by April 30, 2026.
Volunteers gathered over 110,000 signatures in very corner of the state and qualified 20 legislative districts, setting a record for the most signatures ever gathered for a qualified initiative in Idaho’s history.
