The fate of ballot measures seeking to expand abortion access — and opposed by The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints — was in the hands of Idaho and Nevada voters Tuesday.

Unofficial returns in the early evening put Idaho’s Reproductive Freedom and Privacy Act, more commonly known as Proposition 1, in a solid lead.

But that advantage shriveled throughout the night, and the results eventually flipped. By midnight, the ballot proposal trailed 54.3% to 45.7%, with 35 of 44 localities reporting.

If the measure passes, it would allow for abortion up to “fetal viability,” or after in the case of “medical emergencies,” starting in January 2027.

Current state law, in contrast, bars the procedure at all stages of pregnancy with an exception for the life of the mother. Survivors of rape and incest who have reported the crime to law enforcement can also seek an abortion during the first trimester.

The Utah-based church announced its opposition to the ballot measure in September in a brief statement signed by the four-member U.S. Central Area Presidency and read over pulpits.

In October, the deep-pocketed faith cut a $1 million check to the political action committee trying to sink it — by far the largest single contribution to the group Too Extreme for Idaho PAC.

It issued a nearly identical statement, but apparently kept its purse strings pulled tight, in the case of Nevada’s Question 6 aimed at enshrining in the state constitution abortion rules similar to those already in effect in statute.

No results have been posted in this Silver State race as long lines delayed election results.

While the global faith condemns “elective abortion for personal or social convenience,” it has long held that there are circumstances in which abortion is not a sin. Those include a pregnancy resulting from rape or incest, if the “life or health” of the mother is in “serious jeopardy,” and instances when a fetus is found to have “severe defects that will not allow the baby to survive beyond birth.”

Even if Idaho’s Prop 1 passes, the Legislature is all but certain to retool or repeal the measure. In this scenario, Idahoans could override lawmakers with a veto referendum.

Regardless, said Democratic state Sen. Soñia Galaviz, who is a Latter-day Saint, Prop 1’s passage would represent “a demand from Idahoans that the Legislature finally confront this issue, have an honest conversation and make the changes necessary to ensure our laws protect women’s health and safety.”
