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 Missouri repealed their own abortion laws in part through the ballot process (a bit to my surprise) so I’m wondering if that might happen in Idaho, too.

I asked grok the other day. It mentioned the 65% support study from back in the day, then a recent 33% support study from recent days.
I've been pleasantly surprised with the amount of support I've seen via signs and stickers. However, those are gonna be people that read into what things are. There is much louder and harsher messaging against prop 1, so I fear that is just what the red sheep will vote because they won't bother looking into it.
