NEW: Women are protesting Idaho’s rejection of a nearly $6 million federal grant aimed at improving access to child care.
One Idaho Rep: "any bill that makes it easier or more convenient for mothers to come out of the home" isn't a good idea. @19thnewshttps://19thnews.org/2021/03/idaho-child-care-funding-protest/ …
On Wednesday, Rep. Shepherd apologized, saying his “remarks sounded derogatory" But Rep. Muffy Davis said the harm has been done. "Words hurt. They last,” Davis said. “More women have left the workforce, and grants like these are programs to enable women so they don’t have to.”
Sixty percent of U.S. households rely on two incomes to make ends meet, and studies show that limiting child care options reduces women’s employment opportunities and household income.
“When Idaho’s lawmakers decline investments in their child care system, they wrongly assume this will create incentives for women to stay home with their children"
“Instead, they send more households into poverty. Working moms without access to affordable, reliable childcare face heart-wrenching choices about whether they can work to support their families and how to keep their children safe while they do so."

It’s almost as if poverty wages aren’t ‘traditional family values’.
So Idaho GOP is pro-life but not pro-sustaining life with a living wage, childcare, feeding families, healthcare?
