The real question is: why should I have to pay for their birth control?
A state senator shouted at University of Idaho students affiliated with Planned Parenthood trying to schedule a meeting with him to discuss birth control and sex education.
Republican Sen. Dan Foreman said he would call law enforcement officials if they attempted to visit his office at the Capitol again.
The students, who had traveled nearly 300 miles from the Moscow campus to participate in a Boise lobbying event, were trying to schedule a meeting with Sen. Dan Foreman to discuss birth control and sex education.
Foreman, a Republican from Moscow, emphatically refused to speak with them in an exchange that several people recorded on camera.
“Abortion is murder. I’m a Roman Catholic and a conservative Republican,” Foreman is shouting on the video. “I think what you guys are doing stinks.”
A voice on the video, which has been posted to multiple social media accounts, can be heard saying “that’s your choice.”
“You’re damn right it’s my choice, so stay out of my office,” Foreman said. “Next time you walk into my office, you’ll be dealing with Idaho State Police.”
