Sometimes, a parent or guardian can get on the phone, according to Idaho 988 Director Lee Flinn, “but in most situations, the minor hangs up because they tell us they feel like they can’t do that.” #idleg #idpol

Out of the 55 OB-GYN physicians Idaho lost just in 2024, 23 moved out of the state, 12 retired, and 16 either shifted their practice to gynecology only or moved from a rural to urban practice site. All of those who moved away moved to a state that did not have similar abortion restrictions.

This is a WILD read. Most interesting to me is none of the realtors are being sued 🤨
It’s sad when this 💩 happens to anyone, but I did giggle a bit because so many Californians moved here precisely for frEeDom.

Business as usual in deep red, deeply corrupt North Ideehole.
I've never heard of a civil R.I.C.O. case. This is going to get interesting. I imagine it will end in settlements and NDAs signed by all.

Met an interesting person tonight.
“We lived in Rome but I’m not Catholic; no problem. Tel Aviv and I’m not Jewish; totally a-ok. Bahrain and I’m not Muslim; nobody gave me a second glance.
Then we moved to Idaho Falls and I’m not Mormon. It was utter hell. The Mormons are horrible.”
