Ilana Rubel (D-18A), argue: “[The] last poll I saw showed over 70% for medical cannabis.” Arguments: Ballotpedia (secondary source). Listed in equal length; Vote Book does not endorse either side.

Melissa Wintrow (D-19), argue: “It’s pretty clear that English is our official language, and now we’re going to spend $300,000 to put it on the ballot — when we are struggling to pay the bills.” Arguments: Ballotpedia (secondary source).

Proposition 1 — Reproductive Freedom and Privacy Act Initiative
If approved, a " yes " vote supports creating a right to reproductive freedom and privacy , declaring that the state can regulate abortion after the point of…Official ballot wording
Measure creating right to abortion before fetus viability, and post-viability to protect health; right to privacy; healthcare provider liability protections. The measure seeks to change Idaho's laws by introducing a right to reproductive freedom and privacy including a right to abortion up to the point of the fetus's ability to survive outside the womb. After fetal viability, there would be no general right to abortion except in case of a "medical emergency." The "medical emergency" exception would expand Idaho's current life exception and allow abortions when a pregnant woman faces a complicating physical condition that threatens her life or health, including "serious impairment to a bodily function" or "serious dysfunction of any bodily organ or part." The proposed measure codifies a right to make reproductive decisions, including contraсерtion, fertility treatment, and prenatal and postpartum care. The measure seeks to prevent the state from enforcing current abortion laws protecting the life of the unborn child. It would also impose a requirement that any restrictions on reproductive freedom and privacy, including abortion prior to fetus viability, must be justified by a "compelling state interest" that must be "limited solely to improving or maintaining the health of an individual seeking care." The measure would also prevent the state from penalizing patients, healthcare providers, or anyone who assists in exercising the proposed right.
