Quote:Idaho is at war against women and has been for decades. The war is undeclared but undeniable when viewed through the lenses of justice and healthcare.
Idaho imprisons women at thee times the national rate. Idaho puts more women in prison than any other state, and the rate is accelerating. From 2022 to 2023, Idaho men’s incarceration rate increased by 2% and women’s by 9.3%.
Quote:As of 2023, half of Idaho counties have zero obstetricians. Three Idaho hospitals closed their labor and delivery wards in the last year: Bonner General in Sandpoint, Valor Health in Emmett and now West Valley Medical Center in Caldwell. West Valley is also closing its neonatal ICU.
