1. No thinking required if you're a rethuglican. Just take the dark money and do what you're told.

2. Gee Mark, do you think next time you'll educate yourself first before you vote?

And what about all those luckless women who will suffer and die under your draconian law?

Maybe instead of a Greater Idaho Movement, there should be a Greater Oregon Movement to save the women of Idaho from these ignorant nincompoops?

3. Admitting it is the starting point. Now get up off your ass and change your mind and your vote...

4. That's why politicians should stay the fuck out of medical decisions

Did you really think women and providers would just accept it? It’s also a foolish economic decision. I foresee not only doctors and other healthcare providers leaving. Educated and skilled professionals and folks with the means to leave will do so. See DWade.

5. Exactly..watched a cmte hearing from GA with Senator Ossoffe. There are no OB/GYN drs in 76 of

159 GA counties.

Women….please be careful out there

6. She should have offered him a million dollar prize if he could describe a Fallopian tube and tell

her what it does. I've so had it with these ignorant, usually male, politicians who have taken up ob/gyn as a hobby and are now deciding what a woman can and cannot do with her own body.

7. Yeah, douchebag, whatcha gonna do about this?

How about return to the 21st Century and allow women to have bodily autonomy and doctors to use their medical training to help women? Nothing less is acceptable.
