Press Release from Stop Prop 1

BOISE, Idaho — Fifty-nine Idaho physicians released an open letter urging voters to reject Proposition 1, warning that the measure would legalize late-term abortion, strip parents of consent rights for minors, and allow non-physicians to perform abortions.

The letter directly challenges the central claim of the television ad the “Vote Yes” campaign is currently airing statewide, which tells voters that Idaho’s abortion law “has no real exceptions” and that doctors’ “hands are tied” in medical emergencies.

“That is false,” the physicians write. “Idaho law explicitly allows abortion when a physician, in their good-faith medical judgment, determines it is necessary to prevent the mother’s death—including in cases of ectopic pregnancy and placental abruption. The Idaho Supreme Court has affirmed the wide latitude given to physicians. No doctor has been prosecuted for providing such care.”

The signers also dispute the campaign’s narrative that Idaho’s abortion laws drove physicians out of the state, pointing to Idaho Board of Medicine data showing the number of licensed OB/GYNs has risen roughly 20% since the laws took effect in 2022, and that maternal mortality in Idaho has fallen since then to well below the national average.

Beyond correcting the record on current law, the letter warns that Proposition 1’s text—not its campaign messaging—would go far beyond the “common sense exceptions” proponents describe:

1. It would redefine “fetal viability” to exclude a baby who needs extra neonatal support such as oxygen and NICU care, opening the door to abortion into the eighth month of pregnancy.
2. It would eliminate parental notice and consent for minors seeking abortion, making abortion the only medical procedure a minor could undergo without a parent’s consent.
3. It would remove the requirement that a physician perform the procedure, permitting any “licensed health care provider” to do so.

“Proposition 1 is extreme, deceptive, and medically unsafe,” the physicians conclude. “It does not protect women; it endangers them and strips parents of their rights while expanding late-term abortion.”

The letter was signed by dozens of physicians from all across the state of Idaho, including obstetricians and gynecologists (OB-GYNs), neonatologists (NICU specialists), pediatricians, pediatric hospitalists, family practitioners and more who strongly urge the citizens of Idaho to vote NO on Prop 1.

Taxpayers would be held harmless from large electricity users, such as data centers, under legislation backed by Ohio Republican Sen. Jon Husted, with voting possibly as early as this week. The legislation already received overwhelming support in the U.S. House of Representatives, where just three members of Congress opposed its passage.

THE WASHINGTON STAND—The United States Armed Forces allows homeschoolers to enlist, but the city of Fremont, Nebraska appears to think they are unfit to join their local fire department. Now, the governor’s office is investigating. 

Andrew Coates, a 22-year-old volunteer firefighter at Fremont Fire Department, hoped to turn his charity work into a full-time job. But his application was denied by the city, who claimed that since his high school diploma is from a homeschooling program, it was not from an accredited high school. When Coates applied in April 2026, there was no rule barring homeschoolers from becoming firefighters. After the closing date of the application, Coates was notified that he had been disqualified—the rules had apparently changed and he was no longer eligible. Last week, Fremont’s Civil Service Commission reviewed an appeal from Coates, before deciding that it didn’t have the authority to overturn the city’s employment policy. 

Nebraska Governor Jim Pillen (R) told The Washington Stand Wednesday that he strongly disagrees with the decision. “Andrew Coates has already proven his commitment to public safety by serving as a volunteer firefighter. Nebraskans who are qualified and eager to serve their communities should not be turned away simply because of their educational background. We should be encouraging young leaders like Coates, not turning them away. My administration will be investigating ways to remedy this situation.” 

For the past two years, Coates served as a volunteer firefighter. He is a state licensed EMT, and is enrolled in college courses, with a 3.8 grade point average. “For the last five months, my family and I have tried repeatedly to resolve this with the city and through the Civil Service Commission,” Coates told TWS. “The Commission eventually found that there was an irregularity in the hiring process, but I still wasn’t restored to the process or given the opportunity to compete for the position.”

Seth Coates, Andrew’s father, told the Omaha World-Herald that he would have never predicted the situation. “We understood that our homeschool operated legally under Nebraska’s Rule 13 and was exempt from the state’s accreditation requirements. What we never imagined was that the City of Fremont would treat the absence of accreditation — an inherent and legally permitted feature of Rule 13 education—as a basis for disqualifying Andrew from public employment.”

Coates shared his surprise about the predicament during a Tuesday appearance on “Washington Watch with Tony Perkins.” “I couldn’t believe it at first. And then when they told me it was because I was homeschooled… I really just couldn’t believe it. … I was just shocked.” 

Coates also confirmed that the chief at the Cedar Bluffs Fire Department where he volunteered appeared before Fremont County to advocate on his behalf. Coates explained that he is not exactly sure what the real reason for his disqualification is. “I don’t know what the intent on that person’s heart was that day, but there seems to be [discrimination] against homeschoolers. … I couldn’t tell you why.” 

Nate Grasz, executive director of Nebraska Family Alliance, told TWS that homeschoolers should not be discriminated against. “Homeschooling is more than just a lawful education option that continues to grow in Nebraska; it is a fundamental right of parents. Families should never be punished by the government for choosing it. Nebraska Family Alliance is pursuing and supporting corrective action to ensure homeschool graduates receive equal opportunity and that the rights of parents and families are protected.”

Former Atlanta Fire Chief Kelvin Cochran, who himself experienced discrimination after he was fired by the city over his Christian views on marriage and sexuality, expressed dismay over Coates’s predicament. “Every community deserves the best possible fire department to protect life and property,” he told TWS. “A candidate should be judged on merit, and no policy should single out educational background that excludes qualified people from that calling.”

Coates explained that he has aspired to be a firefighter for many years. “The inspiration behind it all was from a Fremont firefighter that worked for my father’s business, and he just really encouraged me to kind of seek after the job. So that just kind of stuck with me, what he said.” 

He requested prayer for wisdom, clarity and humility for himself and his family as they further discern next steps in the process of challenging the rule. “Pray…that we would just be seeking God first… as we continue to stand against this.”

Members of the Fremont Civil Service Commission and the mayor of Fremont did not respond to The Washington Stand’s request for comment by press time.
