With it’s abortion bans, abortion trafficking ban, abortion bounties, faith-healing child abuse exemption and more, Idaho is the state voted Most Likely to Become Gilead in my latest poll of me.
Alabama and Idaho want to prosecute women who obtain abortions in other states. I explain how that sounds a bit like the case of Dred Scott, the Black man who escaped his enslavement and moved to a free state, only to be returned by a Supreme Court that declared him property.
Cops ought to cherish their authority and position so much that any other cops who goes bad like this ought to be treated worse by the cops that bust them, just for tarnishing the badge. It ought to be next to impossible for there to be bad cops, because the good ones would never stand for malfeasance in their ranks.
That means if incestuously pregnant teenage daughter wants an abortion, she has to report her incestuous rape by daddy to the police. Which could be complicated by, oh, I don’t know, say an incestuous abusive daddy that tells daughter to keep a secret or else he’ll kill the whole family with the Idaho-beloved AR-15 he keeps lovingly displayed on the wall.
I’ve admitted to my transphobia, and I’m working to understand an issue I may never fully grok. But even if you think the whole idea of transgenderism is nutty, why do you care how other people raise their kids?
Thanks to a couple of forgotten blue laws, straight sex can land you in jail in Idaho, but gay sex cannot.
The Senate has already made national news for the efforts of an ironically-named State Sen. C. Scott Grow trying to pass a constitutional amendment to forever ban medical marijuana.
“This legislation will ensure illegal drugs stay illegal.” That’s the thrust of C. Scott Grow’s amendment to enshrine drug prohibition forever into the Idaho Constitution.
Data from the Oregon Liquor Control Commission show that the legal marijuana shops in the tiny Oregon/Idaho border town of Ontario have topped over $103 million in sales in just over sixteen months of operation.
One thing that has always struck me about Idaho’s bigotry is that it is aimed at people most Idahoans probably rarely encounter.
Idaho marijuana facts include every criminal marijuana law, medical marijuana poll, and use rates for adults and teens in Idaho.
If the trio of tweaking forgery thieves hadn’t smoked marijuana and if a hotel guest hadn’t complained, would Idaho cops ever caught them?
I used to be a Twitter power user, but since Elongated Muskrat has turned it into a Nazi pub, I have migrated to Mastodon. And Facebook just makes me angry.
