Billionaires and dark money bankroll pro-abortion amendment in Idaho
Nearly $2 million has been funneled into Idaho in support of an upcoming abortion ballot initiative, largely from out-of-state billionaires and dark money groups.
Idaho voters will decide on Proposition 1 in November.
The ballot initiative will create a "right" to abortion in the currently pro-life state.
Almost $2 million has been put towards the initiative in the last week, largely from out-of-state dark money groups and billionaires.
Idaho is one of four states with abortion on the ballot this November. Voters will decide on Proposition 1, the ballot language for which was approved earlier this month.
Currently, most preborn children are protected from abortion in Idaho; if passed, Proposition 1 would undo that law, and establish a "right" to abortion before viability for any reason, and after viability in cases of "medical emergency."
Idahoans United for Women & Families, a pro-abortion group, is behind the initiative, and received over 110,000 signatures, far more than the 70,725 minimum requirement for it to be placed on the ballot.
This is the language Idaho voters will see on the ballot:
“A YES vote would support creating a right to abortion before fetal viability— defined as a fetus’ ability to survive without extraordinary medical measures—and after fetal viability in cases of medical emergency; providing protections against professional discipline and civil and criminal liability for healthcare providers; and codifying a statutory reproductive right to freedom and privacy.
A NO vote would support making no change to Idaho’s current law, which preserves the life of preborn children by prohibiting abortion, except when necessary to prevent the death of the pregnant woman, and during the first trimester in documented cases of rape or incest reported to law enforcement.”
Boise Public Radio reported that $1.8 million has been donated to fund the initiative this week, and the money appears to have largely come from out-of-state donors.
Government That Works PAC gave the most significant amount of $600,000. It is a dark money group which does not disclose its donors and has ties to George Soros, a billionaire with a long history of funding abortion groups and initiatives. The PAC has also been linked to Swiss billionaire Hansjörg Wyss, who was previously sued for his dark money funding of abortion initiatives.
Other billionaires, including those below, also donated:
Gwendolyn Sontheim Meyer is a billionaire heiress whose great-great-grandfather was William Wallace Cargill, the founder of Cargill. She lives in California, not Idaho, and donated $250,000; she previously made even larger donations to pass a pro-abortion initiative in Ohio.
Jill Grossman is another donor who gave a quarter of a million dollars. She likewise does not appear to live in Idaho, and is a known donor and supporter of Planned Parenthood.
Michael Bloomberg, the former mayor of New York, might be the most notable donor. Bloomberg is a billionaire who has donated to numerous abortion efforts across the country. He is a real estate investor with properties around the globe, including in Florida, Bermuda, the Hamptons, New York City, and London.
Bloomberg previously funded an abortion effort in Kansas, giving $1.25 million to defeat a pro-life amendment, and made other large donations to pro-abortion efforts in Michigan, Missouri, and Ohio. He also has donated millions to Planned Parenthood, and has expressed hostility toward pregnant employees, who have alleged that he complained if they became pregnant. In at least one instance, he allegedly told a pregnant employee to “kill it,” in reference to her preborn child.
Like some other pro-abortion amendments passed since the overturning of Roe v. Wade, the move to pass Proposition 1 seems to be a move by out-of-state billionaires instead of a grassroots effort.
