Rule 4- No self promotion or upvote-farming of any kind.
That's it.
Rule 5- No baiting or sealioning or promoting an agenda.
Posts and comments which, instead of being of an innocuous nature, are specifically intended (based on reports and in the opinion of our crack moderation team) to bait users into ideological wars on charged political topics will be removed and the authors warned - or banned - depending on severity.
Rule 6- Regarding non-TIL posts.
Provided it is about the community itself, you may post non-TIL posts using the [META] tag on your post title.

If you vocally harass or discriminate against any individual member, you will be removed.
Likewise, if you are a member, sympathiser or a resemblant of a movement that is known to largely hate, mock, discriminate against, and/or want to take lives of a group of people, and you were provably vocal about your hate, then you will be banned on sight.

Was this because they hated medicine or just couldn’t afford it?
Not saying either is acceptable, but the latter is slightly more understandable.
Remember that Idaho is filled with people who think Utah is too liberal.
That poor child. What a long, painful death just because their parents couldn't be bothered to not be pieces of shits. You can choose whatever you want for yourself, but when you have another life dependent on you then you have to do whatever is necessary to limit their suffering.
When I was a child my mother told me that I had no rights as a human being except the ones she decided I should have until I was a legal adult and could move out of her house.
I haven't spoken to her in years.
It would lose an election for any politician saying it, but sometimes the child's rights supersede a parents right to do whatever they want with their kids.
You shouldn't be able to do things like refuse to feed your child, refuse to give your child medical care, or refuse to educate your child.
Children have no rights :(
No. a presidential candidate should absolutely run on that. Child abuse charges for the parents for failure to seek medical help
It gets a little trickier when you start talking about things like teaching evolution and sex ed, or not allowing minors to be indoctrinated by religions.
Want to really see the fur fly? Try banning genital mutilation. There is no defensible logic for chopping up a baby's genitals even if your god told you to do so. That's some barbaric, bronze age shit that should in no way be legal in any nation that wants to call itself "civilized". It's as logical as slicing a baby's eyelids off at birth. Without anesthesia, I might add.
They'd lose if it were a local position within Idaho. Those same people who didn't wear masks, refuse to vaccinate, refuses care for their child? All those same people are the same people VOTING.
It would be different if it weren't an election in the most brain dead state.
Yeah, it's impressive to find a new low BELOW Florida. At least Florida knows how to pull in tourists. Who the fuck wants to willingly go to Idaho???
You don't run on it you just enforce at a federal level. Republicans love state rights until they're in power then they love telling states what they can and can't do.
Democrats need to force this down their fng throat
Can confirm spent a yr living there, hated every second would take death before even driving through it
the child's rights supersede a parents right to do whatever they want ~~with~~ to their kids.
It’s pedantic but children have no agency, what is being done in Idaho is being done to children.
I would argue children have limited agency depending on their level of development. For example, child custody courts take the wishes of the child into consideration when determining custody of the child is old enough to express their preferences.
If this treatment is legal in Idaho then they do not have agency.
Smashing infants on rocks, with more steps. Someone should nab them for "post-birth abortions." "Every life is sacred," allegedly.
How the hell is this not neglect?
It is. It’s just legal there.
A gentle reminder that legal does not mean moral.
goes back to smoking weed
Wait......they legalized this????
goes back to smoking weed
It is. By like definition. Someone get Oxford on the phone!
It's like watching evolution happen in real time.
have to be grateful that child was spared living a life with moronic parents but at the same time feel bad that the kids life was cut short by moronic parents
~~It’s like~~ It IS watching evolution happen in real time.
FTFY
In 2026 this sounds like an tip for people who can't afford / where abortions are illegal
They cross over into Washington State for healthcare they actually want.
If abortions are illegal there, then we just found a loophole.
Are these the late term abortions we’ve been hearing so much about???
