No OB-GYNs left in town: what came after Idaho’s assault on abortion
In August of 2022, the state enacted a near-total ban on abortion with exceptions only if the mother’s life is in danger, or in the case of rape and incest.
Family members can sue doctors for thousands of dollars if they perform an abortion, and doctors may face criminal fines and even prison time.
Idaho also became the only state in the country to stop tracking maternal mortality rates.

Widdershins Smith 🐘Guess how many FBI Directors have been Democratic?
None.
Every single one of them has been a Republican.
So when Trump and the GOP complain about them and the mythical pervasion of progressive agents, they are full of shit (as always).
Steve DavidianGood news from Ohio, having thwarted a blatant attempt at enforcing minority rule. Thank you for all the encouragement.
Two chilling secondary results are:
1- The GOP is willing to break the law at its convenience and with impunity.
2- The GOP has a core of followers somewhere between 30 and 40% of the voting population.
Nazis were also not a majority in 1930s Germany.
