The Idaho abortion voter initiative qualifies for the ballot this November. The ballot initiative would allow abortions for the full nine months of pregnancy if passed this November and nullify the “Defense of Life Act.”
Since the “Defense of Life Act” legislation began being enforced on August 25, 2022, it is estimated nearly 6,000 innocent children have been saved from abortion in Idaho.
Also, not one woman has been arrested for having a miscarriage, no doctor has been prosecuted under the “Defense of Life Act” and not a single woman has died seeking an “illegal abortion” as pro-choice activists claimed would happen.
The “Defense of Life Act,” has protected thousands of innocent children by ending abortion violence in Idaho as well as protecting thousands of women from forced and coerced abortions.
Stanton Public Policy Center will be working passionately with local church communities and pastors to ensure all life is treated with dignity and equality, and Idaho doesn’t return back to the dark days of abortion violence against children and abortion abuse against women.
Brandi Swindell, Founder/CEO of Stanton Healthcare and Stanton Public Policy Center, states:
“Every woman deserves compassionate healthcare, truthful information, meaningful support, and the freedom to welcome her child without the fear, pressure, or violence of abortion. Idaho has demonstrated that we can protect both women and their children, and we should continue building a culture where every mother is surrounded with hope, practical resources, and life- affirming care.
“We cannot go backward to a system that treats abortion as the solution to women’s challenges. Fifty years of unfettered access to abortion did not solve the societal, familial, and personal challenges women face. Instead, abortion culture placed an undue burden on women and paved the way for abortion abuse. The future of women’s healthcare should be built on compassion, dignity, and real support, not abortion. Our message to women is simple: You are not alone. The answer to women’s needs has never been abortion. The answer is compassionate care, practical support, and hope.”
Samantha Doty, Board Certified Physician Assistant and Stanton’s Director of Clinical Services, shares:
“Idaho’s strong and protective abortion laws safeguard women and babies from irreversible harm. Idahoans have long understood that pregnancy and childbirth are beautiful, natural processes. Abortion ends the life of a precious unborn life and harms the women and families involved. Idaho needs to take a stand to continue protecting our women and children.”
Rev. Patrick Mahoney, Chief Strategy Officer for Stanton Public Policy Center, comments:
“The ‘Defense of Life Act,’ has protected thousands of innocent children by ending abortion violence in Idaho as well as ensuring thousands of women facing forced and coerced abortions are also protected.
“Stanton Public Policy Center will be working passionately with local church communities and pastors to ensure all life is treated with dignity and equality and Idaho doesn’t return back to the dark days of abortion violence against children and abortion abuse against women.
“If passed, this anti-women and anti-child voter initiative would allow abortions for the full nine months of pregnancy.”

We will lose that battle.
Tossing RvW has been a huge gift for the rats. Over and over they get abortion props on November ballots. Then legions of selfish single issue women turn out to vote for them and vote straight Dem while they are there
We win some and we lose some. Abortion is about changing people’s hearts but that is not easy when their heart has turned to stone.
“Abortion is about changing people’s hearts”
100%. I’ve been saying that for many years. Laws won’t be very successful; hearts and minds must change.
One way or another, this is a battle that is always fought one heart at a time. People have been finding a way to abort their children whether legally or not for thousands of years.
It is useful though to reflect on the limitations of the leftist creed that government is the solution to all problems. If this were so, conservatives could achieve all their goals, such as eliminating abortion, simply by being in control of government. But the ongoing frequency of abortions in the wake of striking down RvW shows that is not the case.
It will pass.
So after the actual birth, rushing out to put the infant in the garbage dumpster counts as murder.
The millions of preborn babies don’t count to these monsters.
Former Virginia Governor Ralph Northam in 2019.
“In this particular example, if a mother is in labor, I can tell you exactly what would happen. The infant would be delivered. The infant would be kept comfortable. The infant would be resuscitated if that’s what the mother and the family desired, and then a discussion would ensue between the physicians and the mother.” CBS News and others.
You really believe Idahoans will pass this? I do not doubt for a second it will fail.
It will win in Moscow (U of I), in Blaine County (Sun Valley), in Boise, and maybe in Twin Falls. But that’s it.
We live in Idaho.
“Tossing RvW has been a huge gift for the rats.
It was the correct constitutional decision by the Supreme Court. The 1973 decision declared there was a constitutional right to abortion, despite nowhere in the document stating that. It had to be reversed.
Your problem is within the hearts of men, and especially women.”

“If Men were angels, no government would be necessary. If angels were to govern men, neither external nor internal controls on government would be necessary. In framing a government which is to be administered by men over men, the great difficulty lies in this: you must first enable the government to control the governed; and the next place, oblige it to control itself.” ― James Madison, Federalist #51
No, it won’t. Idaho is extremely conservative. Even in the Liberal Cities, the democrats only have a slim majority. In my town, Trump got over 70% of the votes. In the state Trump got 67%. These people will not vote for unlimited abortion.
This will go down by about the same percentage.
Allow abortions up to birth, OMG. Hopefully, the Idahoans will say “no” to this bill.
Idaho has been Californicated.
