We regret to inform you that Governor Brad Little has betrayed the people of Idaho by vetoing Senate Bill 1023, the Idaho Medical Freedom Act.
Despite overwhelming public support, he has ignored the Legislature, the bill’s sponsors, the Idaho GOP, and the voices of thousands of Idahoans who demanded protection for medical autonomy. This is not leadership—it is political maneuvering to serve those who seek control over our most personal and fundamental freedoms.
Let’s be clear: S1023 is a straightforward, common-sense bill. It ensures that no individual—an employee, student, or child—can be forced into a medical treatment against their will or without parental consent. This bill does not prevent schools from sending home sick children. It simply affirms a basic human right: the right to decide what goes into your own body.
Governor Little may have turned his back on liberty, but the Legislature has the power to correct his mistake.
Your body. Your health. Your future. These are your decisions—not the government’s. This bill is about protecting the freedom to make medical choices and live without fear of coercion or discrimination.
TAKE ACTION
- Contact Your Legislators – Urge them to override the Governor’s veto of S1023 and stand strong for medical freedom in Idaho.
You can look up who represents you at https://legislature.idaho.gov/legislators/ (Click the Who’s My Legislator tab.)
- Spread the Word – Share this bill with friends, family, and neighbors. The more people who speak up, the stronger our movement becomes!
Below is a sample script for emails or calls. Personalize it by adding your own sentences and changing the wording—personal letters are far more effective than form letters!
“My name is ____, and I live in (town). I am urging Representative (or Senator) _____ to override Governor Little’s veto of SB 1023, the Idaho Medical Freedom Act.
This critical bill ensures that no government agency, employer, or educational institution can impose medical mandates on individuals. Medical decisions must always remain a matter of personal choice, guided by informed consent—without pressure, coercion, or consequences.
Bodily autonomy is a fundamental and unalienable right. Every individual should have the freedom to accept or decline medical interventions without fear of discrimination or forced compliance.
Medical freedom is not up for debate—it is a fundamental human right that must be defended.
I urge you to stand with the people of Idaho and vote to OVERRIDE the Governor’s veto of SB 1023 immediately.
Thank you for your consideration.”
Talking Points:
Keep your call or email short! Pick the 2 or 3 of these talking points – or none of them — that are most important to you, and be sure to explain why this issue matters to you personally.
- One of the most basic human rights is bodily autonomy, as recognized by the Nuremberg Code. Ethical medicine requires prior, completely voluntary, and fully informed consent.
- SB. 1023 reaffirms the principle that health decisions belong to the individual, not to external authorities.
- Supporting this bill is a stand for liberty, personal responsibility, and protecting fundamental human rights.
- When we defend the right to medical freedom, we safeguard the rights of all individuals to live according to their own beliefs and values.
- A society that respects personal autonomy fosters trust, transparency, and accountability in health care.
- By advocating for medical freedom, we ensure that future generations will not face the same overreach and coercion experienced during the Covid-19 “pandemic.”
- Allowing others to control your medical choices sets a dangerous precedent for further erosion of individual freedoms.
- Parents may already exempt their children from vaccines for schools and this bill does not change that.
