Ah, the old Covid era tactic. Classic!
Pullin' a DeSantis
If you can get pregnant, run for your life from Idaho while you still can.
We kill women by outlawing abortions? We will fix that by killing even more women. As soon as every single woman has fled the state or died horribly, we will have a zero rate of deaths. Oh say can you see…
You think the right-wing men who have flooded Idaho are going to let women leave willingly?
That is absolutely shameful. Wtaf is wrong with them
They know exactly what they're doing. They have some of the most restrictive anti-abortion laws in the country and they're trying to hide the fallout.
