Butch Otter - Chief Vaginal Officer...

[BlueIdaho]

5. Welcome to Idaho...

The law is similar to laws in other states. It requires the doctor perform an ultrasound against their will and the will of the woman - there is also a written speech they must deliver at the same time. If the woman can't pay, it is to be done at an anti-abortion facility. Unfortunately the law is so badly written - it also states the ultrasound must be performed by the doctor performing the procedure. So in the end another ultrasound must be performed by the doctor and paid for by the woman. Depending on how far along the pregnancy is the use of a tranvaginal probe may be required. The author of the bill has been very clear about its purpose - this is not about women's health, this is about stopping abortions.

Republicans don't hate big invasive government, they just hate not being the ones to decide who gets oppressed by it. Elected Idaho republicans really don't care about the hypocrisy of mandating healthcare while opposing mandated health care. They are not stupid, just mean spirited.
