Idaho Banned Abortion. Then It Turned Down Supports for Pregnancies and Births.
Idaho Banned Abortion. Then It Turned Down Supports for Pregnancies and Births.
Since the Supreme Court overturned Roe v. Wade last year, the state’s GOP-led Legislature has disbanded a maternal mortality committee, failed to expand postpartum Medicaid coverage and turned down federal grants for child care.

Turns out you don't have to support new mothers to encourage childbirth if you just ban the alternative. Forced birth without the courtesy of a reach-around.
Of course, that dampens the mood for consensual sex a bit so they'll just need to tone down some laws and look the other way on issues of sex trafficking and xl child brides...
Republicans have become just the absolute worst and condemn things while taking active steps to ensure they happen. Much like abortion. Best way to reduce abortion rates is sex education and birth control, but you can't reduce abortion like that! No, ban birth control, give no support to new mothers, and then act outraged when coat hanger abortions make a big resurgence and blame the women like somehow no one could predict exactly what would happen.
Blame the dead women, you mean.
Roe was passed based on privacy, which is reason enough, imo. People don't need to know other people's business and some dipshit busybody aspiring HOA presidents opinion shouldn't even be in the same conversation as a medical professionals.
Roe passed the court on privacy but Roe passed public opinion because of the many many deaths from back alley alternatives. Roe was about saving women's lives. Conservatives can bemoan the lost fetuses but losing the women is worse. The women cant go on and have other children if they're dead.
My grandmother was taught by her mother. My mother by my grandmother. My sisters were spared this dark legacy thanks to Roe.
I mentioned Roe and privacy one time around my Grandmother. Unbeknownst to me, gran used to protest and I'm supposing, burn her bra's, cuz she went red immediately and set me right. The kind of mad that made my mom admonish me even tho she didn't even hear what I said, it was just THAT tone. Grandma only got that fired up one other time- when I said McCartney was more talented than Lennon, but I'll die on that hill, sorry Gran.
They were both riding the coattails of the truly talented Harrison. I prefer Lennon if it's between him and McCarthy.
Harrison wrote all my favorite Beatles songs. I wrote em out when I was in my late teens and looked it up, every single one written by Harrison.
