If I hear one more person say that Idaho’s ban is the strictest in the country or that it’s so anomalous because it doesn’t contain a health exception, I’m gonna lose it.

Last thing I’m going to say…
Yes, Idaho has an exception to “save the mother’s life.” But without more clarity in the law, physicians feel compelled to wait until the situation is dire to act.
This woman didn’t want to wait for her situation to become dire.

I keep thinking about how 29/30 people who testified when this bill was heard were against it. And every time it came up locally, the vast majority of testimony was against it. And a survey showed nearly 70% of Idahoans trust librarians to select books. And here we are anyway.
