Told her baby wouldn't survive, she had to leave Idaho for an abortion. She's sharing her story

Rebecca Crozier, 27, says doctors told her at an eight-week ultrasound in 2025 that her pregnancy may involve a neural tube defect, and later confirmed anencephaly at 11 weeks—an invariably fatal condition. Her experience highlights a new battleground in Idaho, where voters decide next Tuesday whether the state’s near-total abortion ban should remain law. Crozier, living in eastern Idaho, traveled about two hours to St. Luke’s in Boise, the state’s largest health system, and says providers told her Haven would not survive. Idaho’s ban includes no exceptions for fatal anomalies. A citizen-led Proposition 1 would restore abortion access until fetal viability, reversing the post-Roe shift.
