Since June 2022 Governor Jay Inslee has allowed Washington State Border Counties of Pend Orielle, Stevens, Spokane, Whitman, Asotin, Columbia and Garfield Counties taxpayers to pay for abortions from Idaho residents especially those who came from Kootenai, Boundary, Bonner, Benewah, Latah and Nez Perce Counties.
Idaho United for Women and Families was able to get enough signatures for Idaho voters to decide on November 3rd to keep Idaho closed to abortion or allow Planned Parenthood to establish clinics again in Post Falls, Sandpoint, Coeur d'Alene, Moscow, Bonners Ferry and Lewiston.
Idaho voters will ultimately decide if the border counties will continue to accept patients for abortion or establish their own clinics.
