ITS A CRYING SHAME FERGUSINS MOTHER DIDNT HAVE AN ABORTION INSTEAD OF AN ABOMBINATION

Republicans took away a womans right to her own body and theyre coming for gay and interracial marriage next. Remember this in November voters.

Got to love all the hypocrites that talk about democracy and rule of law. Been when anyone ignores their political ideology, they want government rulers to beat them into obedience

Protect all life!! The unborn baby should be protected!!

Of course it doesn't. C'mon, Sideshow, you know better than that shit. It does no such thing. Stop sniveling and get over it. AGOWA

Stay in your own states.

Honest Q - how does it violate federal law after the SCOTUS opinion?

For the lies put there. It allows abortion in the cases of rape, incest, and if the life of the mother is at risk.

Maybe Idaho should sue Washington for the influx of Washington residents trying to shop in Idaho for extended capacity mags…

Washington garbage dump

None of our business what another state does. AND it doesn’t violate federal law.

It does NOT violate Federal Law! The Supreme Court ruled the decision was up to the States!!!! You know, 10th Amendment stuff. Read the Constitution.

If Idahoans want to make abortion legal they’ll elect politicians who will pass legislation doing so. This really is not complicated.

How about Washington worries about Washington? Idaho clearly has the will of the people to ban abortions. If they want abortions so bad, move to WA.
