Women are a commodity to the Pro-life crowd. Just get another one if this one dies.

If "it" dies

[–] FlyingSquid 45 points 3 months ago

They have proven in no uncertain, inarguable terms that they do not care about women. This is not about saving the 'poor babies' because these fetuses would die regardless when the mother dies.

These women could be devout Christians in long-term marriages and on their fourth pregnancy. It doesn't matter in Idaho. This is punishing women for literally existing.

And this is why so many of all genders are choosing sterilization these days. I'm sure that will soon be illegal as well, though, along with most other forms of birth control.

This is why I'm accelerating my plans for a hysterectomy by a year even though it will complicate quite a few things for me.

I'm sorry the current state of things has made it necessary for you. It's especially frustrating when so many medical procedures are called "unnecessary" by the health insurance industry, but truly unnecessary surgery is being made necessary by the same people's political choices.

Thankfully, I do meet criteria for medical necessity, it's just a matter of getting it done in the middle of medical school instead of when I'm done with everything and actually have a substantial amount of time off for full recovery.

Idaho thinks pregnancy should cost an arm and a leg.

They care more for their potatoes.

[–] homesweethomeMrL 7 points 3 months ago

Well sure - you can make money with potatoes.

Shithole states helping us find our way to being one of those shithole countries.

[–] homesweethomeMrL 7 points 3 months ago

That's the neat part - shithole states are the shithole country.

And the name of the act is Conservativism

We are literally heading towards hands maids tail. I want out.

Idaho, lovingly referred to as Utah-lite or Mormon-ho by neighboring States is sincerely just as fucked as Utah for Women.

[–] homesweethomeMrL 8 points 3 months ago

Idahooooooooo.

Always a good sign when you're in the news, Idaho. Something wonderful is happening, isn't it.
