Idaho Senator tells Native American candidate to go back to where she came from, storms out of public event

Idaho state Sen. Dan Foreman was according to his Bio in command of planes and such. But he's not in control of his emotions, as the OP makes clear.
Also I guess he's opposed to Rape and incest exceptions to abortion prohibitions, because he wants to just restrict abortion further
Sen. Melissa Wintrow (D), said the "rape exception" in Idaho code is not worth the paper it's printed on because most victims don't report to police, police reports are protected from release by lay, doctors don't want to expose themselves to litigation, most women don't know they are pregnant in the first trimester and it's difficult to get emergency contraception in the state.
"If we really want to be compassionate to victims of sexual and domestic violence, the government wouldn't make it harder to get an abortion after one of the most intimately violent experiences anyone could endure. The trauma and shock that victims experience is already hard to navigate and then adding this grocery list of procedures you have to figure out doesn't help. The traumas that victims experience are not neatly sorted into boxes and to navigate a complex and hostile web of laws to find support is not easy. We need to trust women and trust their judgements instead of treating them like second class citizens that can't manage their own lives without stringent and cruel laws," Wintrow said.
