Proposition 1 Legalizes Abortion Through Nine Months
BOISE, ID — Proposition 1 will be on Idaho’s ballot this November. It directly attacks Idaho’s pro-life pro-family values by legalizing abortion in Idaho. The Idaho Republican Party today announced it will carry that fight to every corner of the state because protecting the preborn is a principle upon which Idaho has never wavered.
“Here is the first thing every Idahoan needs to know,” said Idaho GOP Chairwoman Dorothy Moon. “Proposition 1 has no time limit. Not six weeks. Not fifteen. Not twenty-four. There is no week anywhere in that document.
“An abortion at nine months is legal under Proposition 1, if a provider deems it necessary, even if a healthy baby could otherwise be delivered.
“A provider’s opinion is the whole test. That is it.”
Idaho law today says something Proposition 1 does not. If a baby can survive, the doctor has to try to save him. Proposition 1 removes that entirely. In fact, it has no reference at all to the unborn baby.
Proposition 1 does not even require a doctor. It says an abortion may be performed by “a licensed person or an entity.” That is their language, not ours.
“This initiative not only threatens the unborn baby, it threatens mothers as well,” said Julianne Young, 2nd Vice Chair of the Idaho GOP. “Maternal mortality improved after our Defense of Life Act was passed. This shouldn’t surprise us because abortion—especially unsupervised abortion—endangers women’s lives.”
Roe v. Wade let states require a physician. Idaho did. Proposition 1 does not.
“This is not going back to Roe,” Moon added. “This is far more extreme than Roe.”
The Idaho Republican Party will spend the next four months putting the text of Proposition 1 in front of every voter in this state because the concerns outlined here are only the beginning of what Idahoans deserve to know before November 3rd.
“Idaho protected unborn children before Idaho was a state,” Moon concluded. “Our territorial legislature did it in 1864, twenty-six years before statehood. This is not recent politics. This is who we have always been.
“Don’t take our word for any of it. Read Proposition 1 yourself. Then vote no.”
