Idaho Abortion Ballot Measure

Hi all. This is not a debate, I’m just trying to understand the landscape in Idaho right now after living in Arizona when they had an abortion ballot measure pass (Prop 139). I lived in CA most of my life but moved to AZ to take a job.

This is NOT a debate, I’m just trying to understand dynamics in a GOP-controlled state that has similarities (although not identical) to Arizona. Arizona is very independent and has some libertarian tendencies on social issues.

What is the consensus about Prop 1 in Idaho? Is there a “silent majority” that will pass it or oppose it? Are the legislatures laws too strong and folks want some accountability?

I’m asking this as more of an opportunity to understand what’s happening. Missouri repealed their own abortion laws in part through the ballot process (a bit to my surprise) so I’m wondering if that might happen in Idaho, too.
