Supporters of ballot measure to end Idaho's strict abortion ban turn in nearly 110K signatures

Boise resident Betts Disney said she hasn’t really been involved in political activism since she went to anti-Vietnam War marches as a child. However, that changed a couple of years ago when she heard one of the lead organizers talk about a proposed ballot measure to end Idaho’s abortion ban.

She told the Idaho Capital Sun that in addition to her “belief of women’s rights to decide about their own bodies,” she was motivated to volunteer as a signature gatherer because of encouragement from the group leading the effort, Idahoans United for Women and Families.

Disney said she collected about 500 signatures on her own.

“I’m very, very proud of that,” she said.
