In deep red Idaho, support for ballot question on abortion access is spread across party lines
BOISE, Idaho — Suzanne Gallus is a Catholic woman and mother of seven who has been pregnant 12 times, and she’s spent the past year asking residents to sign a petition to help restore access to abortion in one of the most conservative areas of Idaho.
At an event on July 2 at the Idaho Capitol, Gallus told a crowd of fellow volunteers and supporters that she spoke with about 400 people while knocking on doors in north Idaho, and she had learned that even those who had deeply held personal beliefs against abortion were willing to sign and vote yes.
“People were always very open with a lot of their stories, and their stories may have not even been about them,” Gallus later told Stateline. “It could’ve been about a niece, or a cousin or their grandmother, and they weren’t all abortion stories either. A lot of them were about adoption or infertility.”
Despite Idaho’s status as a deeply conservative state — President Donald Trump won there by nearly 37 percentage points in 2024 — an estimated one-fourth, or 28%, of more than 110,000 signatures collected by the group spearheading the proposed Reproductive Freedom and Privacy Act are from registered Republicans.
