The dilemma I shared: I want to remain in my home state with my parents and extended family who make this place home. But I can't encourage my daughters to put down roots and raise their families in Idaho when our extreme abortion ban makes it unsafe to be pregnant here.

Public dollars belong in public schools. Our schools are already stretched thin, arguably to the breaking point in some cases. We can't let our precious dollars be siphoned off to private schools that have no accountability to the public.
