Getting Idaho's Opinion on Abortion with Melanie Folwell

Melanie Folwell is the executive director of Idahoans United for Women & Families and came in to talk about the ballot initiative that her organization is pushing for with the 2026 Nov election. Her ballot initiative would ask Idahoans to vote on whether Idaho should allow a woman the right to make a decision about an abortion or if that is something that the state government of Idaho should choose for her.
