1. Family Planning activists have said it time and time again

The (so-called) Pro-Life movement’s interest in infants begins at conception and ends at birth. Anyone thinking otherwise should look at their actions. These people’s jihad against Planned Parenthood and other family planning services have been remarkably successful—at closing down clinics and denying pregnant women access to birth control and obstetrical care.

These people claim to provide abortion alternatives. Do they fund obstetric care? No. Do they provide access for post-born babies? No. Do they provide adequate financial assistance to struggling mothers with infants? No.

Idaho looks like it’s on the way to becoming a desert for women seeking maternity care, and it’s largely the fault of social reactionaries and the anti-abortion movement.

I wish I had more sympathy for the low-info mothers and fathers who vote for these social reactionary politicians, but I don’t.
