This November, Idahoans will vote on a ballot initiative that would expand access to abortion. N-W-P-B’s Rachel Sun reports.

---------------------------------------------------
If enacted, Idaho’s Proposition 1 would repeal the state’s current law, which makes performing abortions a felony in almost all cases. 

In contrast, Proposition 1 would create a right to abortion until the point of fetal viability, as determined by a physician. According to the Idaho Medical Association, that’s usually around 20 to 24 weeks.

Prop 1 also allows for abortion in the case of medical emergencies as determined by physicians on a case-by-case basis.

The proposition would further codify existing reproductive freedoms including the right to contraception, childbirth care, fertility treatment, and care before, during and after pregnancy or miscarriage. It also includes the right to privacy in those healthcare decisions.
