CAN WE REGAIN OUR FREEDOMS?
We have learned through this site’s History and Stories that during the last two years, our legislature has intentionally created a health system in Idaho that is abusive and dangerous to Idaho women. This intrusive government intervention has robbed women of the freedom to make their own health decisions. It also can endanger their lives because they cannot legally be treated in Idaho. Another unintended consequence is the fact that OB/GYN’s are leaving the state at an alarming rate causing parts of Idaho to be void of Women’s Health services and stressing the remaining clinical services.
Idaho laws are very restrictive compared to other states. National reporting often cites Idaho as an example of an excessively harsh Women’s Health system.
