Just announced that they will no longer offer obstetrics care. Pregnant women will have to travel 50 miles or more to find a hospital when they are in labor. And if they have postpartum problems? Oh well. Sucks to be from Idaho, I guess.

They are also just about to pass another law that criminalizes anyone who abets a minor from going out of state (or obtaining pills) to get abortion care without parental consent. Minimum two years in prison on conviction.
