1. I'm not even going to miss those Idaho Potato's. As a matter of fact...

...I'll NEVER get an order of fries at a fast food restaurant again intil they too boycott Idaho. F#$k this barbaric christofascist bullshit!

[Bluethroughu]

4. I have Lily Allen's "f#$% you" playing in my mind.

Totally medieval bull$#!%

2. The radicalized Republican party wants extremist white evangelical rule.

The American Taliban, enabled by the Subversive 6, will convert you or kill you.

3. ...

5. Exactly! Can we get that on billboards across the country? Please?

It should scroll across every tv screen when CBS, et.al., are breathlessly yammering about INFLATION, as if that's an existential threat.

6. 'christian' Taliban

nothing less

18. I was saying the same thing earlier, without reading this exact story.

The Christian Taliban IS who they are.

7. Everybody dies.

The baby can’t survive if the mother is dead. So both are dead.

These people are fucking insane.

19. That was the ridiculous argument in the film Birdcage.

It was a joke when the film was made before the ultra right wing took over rational thought. "Nip the problem in the bud, kill the mother and go to the source of the problems". We all laughed but that was 1996, over 25 years ago. Ha, ha...

It seems like "One step forward, two steps back".

8. Effectively, they are instituting death panels. n/t

9. Now, watch them invest not a fucking dime into adequate, accessible, affordable maternal healthcare

11. Federal law EMTALA President Biden talked about, on the books since 1986 keeps states from

12. The woman is just an incubator to them

[dalton99a]

13. They are hell-bent on killing women.

[GoodRaisin]

14. These stupid religious laws are destined to be reversed.

Don’t know when or how long but sooner or later the sheer impracticality of this nonsense alone will usher it to an end. Maybe if enough people leave there won’t be a workforce or any new business coming into the state. I just don’t see any commerce growing up where shit like this is happening.

15. Women are second class citizens in Idaho.

[Dan]

16. Very curious....

I wonder how many Republican females will vote to re-elect those representatives - that rejected that exemption.

Further, I wonder how do they rationalize it? Now for the Republican men - I totally understand, they view women as another form of chatel, but the women, I can't figure it.

17. Theocratic fascism.

[dchill]

20. Religious minority rule is REALLY gonna suck.

But I guess they've earned it?

[imaginary girl]

21. Let me guess...men can kill with impunity...

If they believe their own lives are in danger (self defense). What's the difference?

[Buckeyeblue]

22. 1.7 million people in Idaho

What's interesting to me is that white supremacist separatist like Randy Weaver didn't want the government telling them how to live. But those same people are ok with these laws because it reinforces their ides of male dominance. Remember, these white supremacist folks think white men should be in charge. They don't think women have any rights.

[superpatriotman]

23. And TWO Senators

We have more people than that in Broward county and have no Senators (Rubio and Scott do not qualify)

This is how you get minority rule.

[Buckeyeblue]

24. Agreed. The senate will be our undoing eventually

Idaho, Montana and Wyoming have about 4 million people and 6 senators. But we've been talking on here for years about this.

The civil war should have ended the notion of states rights. It's really a dangerous concept because it doesn't adequately allow for extremist views to be diluted. And now we've got a supreme court who is hell bent on returning us to pre-civil war ideas of state rights.

But aside from a major constitutional amendment changing our government structure, there is nothing that we can do.
