"The backlash to #BirthControl comes at a time of rampant #misinformation about basic #health tenets amid poor digital literacy and a wider political debate over #ReproductiveRights, in which far-right #conservatives argue that broad acceptance of birth control has altered traditional #gender roles...
"women frequently come in for #abortions after believing what they see on #SocialMedia about the dangers of hormonal #BirthControl and the effectiveness of tracking periods to prevent pregnancy.
My husband and I just finished our fifth and final winter raptor survey for the season. Highlights were finding a big flock of Gray-crowned Rosy-Finches, seeing 30 pronghorn, and spying several Burrowing Owls staking out nest sites. #raptors#owls#birding#Idaho#CitizenScience
#Idaho might as well as be a #SackOfAssholes. Instead for focusing on any of the countless areas that the state needs to improve, their (Republican) lawmakers are instead putting all their time and effort into legislation to make simple possession of small quantities of #cannabis a crime with a $420 fine. 420! Get it??? These genius' are just soooooo clever! While the rest of the nation is legalizing and decriminalizing, Idaho is levying absurd fines for tiny amounts.
Trump siegt bei Republikaner-Vorwahlen auch in Idaho und Missouri
Donald Trump hat sich bei den Präsidentschafts-Vorwahlen der US-Republikaner auch in den Bundesstaaten Idaho und Missouri durchgesetzt. Wie lange wird seine einzig verbliebene Konkurrentin Haley noch durchhalten?
"The new Vote Idaho site... includes information for voters and candidates alike, including links to register to vote, request an absentee ballot, find your polling location, view election results, access campaign finance data or obtain the forms necessary to run for office in Idaho."
“Officials in #Idaho on Wednesday halted the execution of death row inmate Thomas Creech after they were unable to set an intravenous line to carry out a lethal injection, according to a news release from the state Department of Corrections.”

If #Idaho’s “#proLife” contingent really, actually cared about “life,” they would not pass laws that would obviously lead to #obstetricians leaving the state, to labor and delivery units and #NICUs closing, to the infant and #maternalMortality rates increasing. It’s not about “life,” it’s about purity. It’s about showing other #antiAbortion radicals that they are willing to do anything in order to have the harshest abortion bans possible.
Idaho Resolution Would Aim to Lower Voting Threshold to Pass School Bonds
Under restrictive school funding policies, Idaho districts struggle to repair and replace deteriorating buildings. If voters agree, the proposal would, in some elections, reduce the two-thirds threshold needed to pass bonds for school repairs.
When #Republicans overturned Roe, #Idaho state law banned doctors from providing any kind of #abortion care. Ever since, OBGYNs have lived in fear of taking any action that the state could consider contributing to the "termination" of a pregnancy.
Practitioners are leaving the state, and maternity wards are shutting down. Idaho has lost 22% of its OBGYNs overall, and more than 50% of its OBGYNs who handle high-risk pregnancies!
"An Idaho lawmaker introduced a cannibalism bill Thursday she said would keep human flesh and bone out of the food supply — and it appears the legislator based her proposal on a reality show prank."
#Idaho Legislature Takes Up Bill to Help #School Districts Repair and Replace Buildings
The bill would provide $1.5 billion in new funding in a state where communities have struggled to pass bonds even as some #students learn in freezing and overcrowded classrooms with leaky ceilings and discolored drinking water.
> Sponsors of House Bill 421 say they want to provide consistency across state statute when it comes to definitions. Some Idahoans argue it goes further than that.
