“The Idaho Constitution does not contain an explicit right to abortion,” the decision summary reads. “We cannot read a fundamental right to abortion into the text of the Idaho Constitution.”

“To the contrary, the relevant history and traditions of Idaho show abortion was viewed as an immoral act and treated as a crime,” the opinion summary states. “Thus, we cannot conclude the framers and adopters of the Inalienable Rights Clause intended to implicitly protect abortion as a fundamental right.”
