Idaho voters defeat abortion ballot initiative after faith-led campaign
Proposition 1 rejected by 55.94% of voters, with two opposing PACs raising over $9.6 million as of Oct. 1
Idaho voters have rejected Proposition 1, a ballot initiative that would have established a state right to abortion, with 55.94% voting against it. Heavy opposition from Catholics and The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints contributed to the defeat; the church, the Catholic Diocese of Boise and Catholic philanthropists donated millions to the opposition effort.
