EASY WAYS TO RESIST AND PUSHBACK
COLLECT SIGNATURES FOR REPRODUCTIVE RIGHTS!
SIGN THE REPRODUCTIVE RIGHTS INITIATIVE!
SIGN THE PETITION. Restore healthcare for pregnant women. We are almost there! Here are some facts:
FACT: The initiative restores the standard of access Idaho had for nearly 50 years. In simple terms: legal abortion before viability, and after that in cases of physical medical emergency. Importantly, it will affirm that private medical decisions–including decisions about abortion–are best made between patients and doctors, not the government.
FACT: Under this initiative, Idaho’s parental consent laws remain fully in place.
Current Idaho law requires parental or guardian consent for medical care for minors, even for something as simple as a Band-Aid. Those laws continue unchanged under this initiative. Parents remain part of minors’ healthcare decisions under Idaho law.
FACT: The initiative protects reproductive healthcare between doctors and patients, period. The language is plain, focusing specifically on contraception, pregnancy, prenatal care, miscarriage care, IVF and fertility treatment, and abortion care. Just like they have in other states, opponents are falsely claiming that this bill will impact trans healthcare for minors. It won’t, and ginning up moral panic using vulnerable kids and their families is reprehensible.
FACT: This initiative is a grassroots effort led by Idahoans, circulated by Idaho volunteers, and almost entirely funded by Idahoans. We have 877 incredible, individual, volunteers across this state who have gathered nearly 80,000 signatures. Idahoans United for Women & Families has committed to the highest level of transparency, going above and beyond our reporting and compliance obligations. We are the real deal, and our opponents hate that.

RED CARDS: KNOW YOUR RIGHTS
All people in the United States, regardless of immigration status, have certain rights and protections under the U.S. Constitution. Red cards give examples of how people can exercise these rights. While they do not provide individualized legal advice, they keep the basic rules close at hand. Distribute them at libraries, places of worship, free clinics, and other sites where people who need them gather. Immigrant Legal Resource Center offers ones you can print yourself (in any language) or you can purchase these cards. https://www.ilrc.org/redcards
