Idaho Legislature intrusive

First, we have an ethics scandal that forces the resignation of a majority party leader. Now, we are about to have a morals flap created by the same bunch. When are the Idaho legislators going to realize that we have more important problems in this state than to waste taxpayer dollars on efforts to impose their morals on all Idahoans?

In this transparent attempt to shame a woman into abandoning control over what has to be the most difficult and personal decision any woman can possibly make, the Legislature is demonstrating their disdain for all women. My wife and I raised three daughters with the philosophy that they could do anything they wanted if they put forth the required effort.

It seems that the state of Idaho doesn’t believe that women should have the same rights as men. The right to make the tough decisions that are required of them without the supervision of the state.

For a party that insists that they want less government intrusion into our daily lives, they sure appear to want to be in control of many of our most private life decisions.
