http://www.cdapress.com/news/local_news/article_7c17a428-72db-11e1-8c5f-0019bb2963f4.htmlOur fine state legislature, having solved all Idaho's problems, has now turned its attention to the devastating problem of Pregnant Women Not Knowing What They Are Carrying Will Turn Into A Baby If Left In Long Enough. Yup, we're debating a pre-abortion ultrasound bill (which is so bad all but one of North Idaho's senators, all of whom are Republicans, voted against it) and during the debate, Chuck Winder, Asshole of the Quarter, did this:
A Republican Idaho lawmaker's suggestion on the Senate floor that a doctor should ask a woman who says she was raped if the pregnancy could have been "caused by normal relations in a marriage" brought a rebuke from another legislator who said it's insensitive and suggests women may lie to get an abortion.

(1 post)Let's show the Idaho GOP that their priorities are WRONG! They should be focused on JOBS, the ECONOMY, ETHICS, EDUCATION and not wasting taxpayer dollars on these issues that simply intimidate women and their doctors and deny individual freedoms!

Today, Senator Chuck Winder dropped by to see a live ultrasound demonstration at the Idaho Legislature! This is unbelieveable! The Idaho Legislature needs to focus on improving our economy, creating a framework for jobs, strengthening education Pre-K through Higher Ed., creating our own Idaho Healthcare Exchange tailored by Idahoans for Idahoans, and establishing a bi-partisan Ethics Commission that would help improve our economy because employers and investors would know they would have an equal opportunity to grow their business regardless of who they know in the Legislature!
Instead, Senator Chuck Winder and the Idaho GOP waste our time and taxpayers dollars spending precious days in the Legislature with Senate Bill 1387, and other useless legislation that insults Idahoans, and infringes on our rights to individual liberty! Help ensure that Senator Chuck Winder and every Republican in Ada County that Voted FOR Mandated Ultrasounds is forced from office! We have work to do for the Primary and General Elections! Chuck Winder sponsored SB1387. It is an unfunded mandate which demands transvaginal ultrasounds for any woman that seeks an abortion in Idaho. This is a horrible invasion of privacy and straight out intimidation! Medical decisions should be between a woman, her doctor, her family and clergy. Big Government needs to stay out of Idahoans' private lives and focus on legislation we all need!
Senators Andreason, Fulcher, McKague, Toryanski and Winder are Republican Senators in Ada County that voted "Yes" for SB1387! Other Republican Senators that voted Yes on SB1387 - Sens. Bair, Brackett, Cameron, Darrington, Davis, Heider, Hill, Johnson, Lodge, McKenzie, Mortimer, Nuxoll, Pearce, Rice, Siddoway, Smyser, Tippets and Vick.
