Idaho initiative to create a statutory right to abortion becomes the fourth abortion-related measure on 2026 ballots

The Idaho secretary of state announced on July 13, 2026, that Idahoans United for Women and Families submitted enough valid signatures to place an initiative on the ballot to create a right to reproductive freedom and privacy in state law.

The initiative would provide that “Every person has the right to reproductive freedom and privacy." It would state that each person has the right to “make personal decisions about reproductive healthcare that directly impacts the person’s own body,” and define personal decisions to include the following:

  • abortion;
  • childbirth care;
  • contraception;
  • fertility treatment;
  • miscarriage care; and
  • prenatal, pregnancy, and postpartum care.
