The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints donated $1 million to the Too Extreme for Idaho Political Action Committee, which opposes Prop 1, the abortion rights ballot initiative. The donation came weeks before Idaho's general election.

The PAC campaigns against the Reproductive Freedom and Privacy Act, which would establish abortion rights in Idaho's constitution. A Church spokesman confirmed the donation, stating the Church "is deeply concerned about the protection of unborn life."

The $1 million contribution represents one of the Church's largest political donations in recent years and follows a letter from area leadership urging members to vote against the measure. Idaho has one of the nation's strictest abortion bans, with limited exceptions.
