(Life News) Idaho voters defeated a ballot measure that pro-life advocates said would have legalized abortions up to birth, eliminated parental consent requirements and opened the door to taxpayer funding of abortions.
With 77% of precincts reporting, Proposition 1 was trailing 53.8% to 46.2%, according to unofficial results. The citizen-initiated statute, known as the Reproductive Freedom and Privacy Act, sought to create a right to “reproductive freedom and privacy” that included a so-called right to kill babies in abortions up to birth.
Pro-life leaders described the measure as one of the most extreme of the 2026 election cycle.
