Opinion: Republican politicians show zero mercy as abortion ban hurts women

[Quiet Em]

What happened to Jennifer Adkins is a nightmare any Idaho family could face. A devoted mother from Caldwell, Jennifer and her husband were eager to have a second child and make their son a big brother. But a routine pregnancy check-up revealed devastating news. The fetus was nonviable and wouldn’t develop into a healthy baby. Worse still, the fetus’ condition threatened Jennifer’s own health. Discontinuing the pregnancy was the recommended care.

However, under Idaho’s draconian abortion ban, doctors and nurses face prison time for providing abortion care to preserve the health of the patient. The allowed exception is to prevent certain death. Jennifer had to travel to Oregon, incurring personal financial costs, missed work days, and emotional turmoil to receive care that was standard in Idaho before the abortion ban took effect.

1. Republicans see women as sex toys, housekeepers, and walking baby machines. Their lives are not important.

If one dies, there’s always another to take her place. I will never understand the utter contempt for women that these laws represent,

2. They are afraid of women, especially strong women.

Therefore they are terrified of any woman making her own choices. What if they decide to do something that puts themselves first?

3. They hate women - which stems from fear.

“Put them and the other minorities back in their place”

4. I would love to buy a billboard on the Oregon-Idaho border.
