A measure that would legalise abortion until fetal viability has garnered enough signatures to qualify for the ballot at the upcoming election, the Secretary of State certified on July 13.
Idaho voters will consider the Idaho Reproductive Freedom and Privacy Act Initiative on November 3. If the measure receives 51 per cent of the vote, it will become law.
If passed, the measure would create a statutory right to “reproductive freedom”. Aside from legalising abortion until fetal viability, “reproductive freedom” is defined in the measure as “a right to make reproductive decisions, including contraception, fertility treatment, and prenatal and postpartum care”.
