Only a fool would live and work in Idaho if he or she had the resources to go somewhere else. Depopulate the place. Nazis don't need five electoral votes.

Alabama should expect the same after their anti-science attack on IVF.

And that's just the DOCTORS who are leaving. Imagine the number of CITIZENS who are leaving so that their daughters aren't raised under the terror of christofascism.

Many women are already going to Washington for OB care. Not abortions, routine care because they are currently in areas that have no obstetrics.
I would expect family practice to follow because they cannot get insurance for OB care unless they have immediate back up for C-sections.
As speaks said, there will be a general brain drain.
