## Resource

Idaho voters face a historic ballot decision this November that could overturn the state’s abortion ban, allowing procedures up to fetal viability and in emergencies — a move that would restore pre-Roe standards. Democrat Terri Pickens and independent John Stegner, both governor candidates, have pledged full support, framing it as a return to bodily autonomy and privacy. But a Pro-Life candidate, backed by GOP lawmakers and the state party, vows to block it, even threatening to override voter approval — setting up a fierce clash between the ballot and the legislature. Both candidates vow to defend the initiative, with Pickens eyeing a constitutional amendment to shield future measures.
