Idaho Ballot Measure to Loosen Abortion Ban Approved for November Vote

Idaho's Secretary of State Phil McGrane confirmed the initiative will be on the November 3 ballot, allowing voters to decide on loosening the state's strict abortion laws.
If passed, the measure would replace the near-total abortion ban with a law permitting abortions until fetal viability, restoring access similar to pre-Dobbs conditions.
Opponents, including anti-abortion groups, are mobilizing against the measure, claiming it would dismantle decades of anti-abortion legislation.
