How Idaho's abortion ban reshaped reproductive care

Season 2026 Episode 215 | 8m 34s

This November, voters in Virginia, Nevada, Missouri and Idaho will decide on the future of reproductive rights. In deeply red Idaho, a citizen-led initiative faces an uphill battle to restore some abortion rights. Special correspondent Sarah Varney reports on whether the fallout from the overturning of Roe v. Wade and frustration over the current law will be enough to sway conservative Idahoans.
