Idaho's anti-trans law makes it illegal to medically examine child rape victims - LGBTQ Nation

A lawmaker says Republicans were warned about this but voted for the law anyway

LGBTQ Nation
@gratefuldread “The fact that this bill obstructs efforts to address sexual assault should not be surprising to its Republican backers because we discussed it before the vote,” [Dem. Rep.] Necochea said. “The floor sponsor dismissed concerns, saying [healthcare] providers would report it[.] I explained to [Republicans] that the protection of a healthcare provider evaporates if the minor can’t see a provider without parental permission. They voted for it anyway.”
@WhiteCatTamer @gratefuldread Yeah, because they wanted it. That's a feature, not a bug.
@gratefuldread for the GOP (Gross Old Perverts), this is a feature, not a bug.

@gratefuldread

that is what happens when you legalize rape!
