The conflicting measures even have the same title: Amendment 3. But while a 'yes' vote in 2024 supported adding protections to the state constitution, a 'no' vote in 2026 would keep them."

"Lawyers for Seyb and other plaintiffs in the Idaho case emphasize that Dobbs does not appear to be a barrier to advancing these constitutional claims. The question that the Supreme Court answered in 2022 was whether 'all pre-viability prohibitions on elective abortions are unconstitutional.' In focusing on elective abortion procedures, the court didn’t address all procedures for terminating a pregnancy."

"About a quarter of people worldwide say they believe that raw milk is healthier than pasteurized milk, that use of acetaminophen during pregnancy causes autism, and that vaccines are used for population control.
