Despite what the ACLU has been saying about Idaho’s Proposition 1, critics counter that it does, in fact, allow minor children to consent to abortions without parental notice. The proposition, if passed, would remove limits on abortion and effectively allow children to have abortions without parental consent.

EXCERPT:
The Proposition 1 campaign to radically expand abortion in Idaho is working hard to convince voters it won’t allow minor girls to get an abortion without their parents’ consent.
A new campaign mailer from Prop 1 claims that “Prop One leaves Idaho’s parental consent laws untouched and intact.” (See attached image of mailer excerpt.)
But the ACLU of Idaho, a supporter of maximally liberalized abortion laws, says on its website that Prop 1’s language conflicts with Idaho’s long-established parental consent laws and would “likely” lead to litigation.
On its Prop 1 FAQs page, under “Would Prop 1 remove parental consent laws?,” the ACLU of Idaho says:
“Prop 1 does not explicitly repeal Idaho’s existing parental consent laws. It does include broad language that could interact with several areas of state code, so legal issues arising from current parental consent laws would likely be resolved in the courts.”
