875,000 women live in Idaho.

The last hospital to offer OBGYN care shut down their clinic bc of the strict 6 week abortion ban.

This is insane.

BIG CLARIFICATION. This is one hospital in Idaho - there are a few others that offer OBGYN services.

75 of 117 Idaho OB-GYNs recently surveyed said they were considering leaving the state. Of those, nearly 100% — 73 of 75 — cited Idaho’s restrictive abortion laws.

Wait, wait . . . ALL of the hospitals? The whole state? I knew Bonner General had closed its maternity ward, but . . .
If you have a source, I'd appreciate knowing about it.

Also, for women in North Idaho, Washington State is a short drive, and the hospital in Newport added maternity staff in order to care for women from the Sandpoint area.
