2026 ID Senatorial race: on Abortion

Todd Achilles: Women should make their own health care decisions

Women should make their own health care decisions in consultation with their families and doctors not the government. I support the voter-led initiative to restore safe and private access to reproductive healthcare in Idaho. Source: 2026 Idaho Senate campaign website AchillesForIdaho.com Mar 13, 2026

David Roth: Abortion rights should protected nationally, not by state

Roth said abortion laws should be consistently applied across the country. "I believe that those fundamental rights, those rights that make up who we are as Americans are not left up to the states. They need to be the same regardless of where we are," Roth said. "We are the United States of America, we are one country, so who you are as a person shouldn't vary from place to place."
