Gotdamn that man is an ugly asshole. He’s nowhere near handsome either.
On one hand, the way that menopause is dismissed or overlooked in medicine needs to be addressed. OTOH, given what has been happening with legislation against women, I can imagine medical needs being twisted to further oppress, control, or track women based on reproductive capability:
This trial, which amounts to a simple yes/no question over whether Heard had the right to call herself a victim of domestic abuse in a single sentence from that 2018 opinion piece
The judge at the first trial in 2020 found Heard had proven 12 of 14 allegations of abuse.
So, I have to ask, why is this even happening? It seems fairly clear she had legal standing to make that claim. Should be an easy, open-and-shut case, no? Well, of course not.
Nice response to a misogynistic asshole who believes everything revolves around his dick…
Also, it’s hips, tits, lips, power… dumbass…
I suddenly want to go do some ‘core’ work…
Rip them abs!
One…two…
…ninety-eight…ninety-nine…one hundred!
Speaking to MSNBC’s Katy Tur, senior counsel Marc Hearron from the Center for Reproductive Rights explained that the Oklahoma law makes it the most extreme in the United States.
“That’s exactly right,” said Hearron. “So this ban bans abortion from the moment of fertilization. Fertilizing multiple eggs is a part of IVF. The problem is when you combine that definition of abortion beginning from fertilization together with this vigilante scheme, the author of the bill might have their own idea of what this law bans, but anybody can decide, ‘Oh, you had an IVF procedure. I think that might be illegal. I’m going to sue and force you now to come into court and defend yourself over that IVF procedure.’ And that’s just the beginning of the Pandora’s Box this law opens.”
“If a patient who has a miscarriage, if their neighbor or if a disapproving family member decides, I think you may have had an abortion, they might try to sue and force you into court to try to prove, no, no, this was a miscarriage, not an abortion,” explained Hearron. “This is a nightmare dystopian scenario and it’s cruel. And it is going to force Oklahoma patients to not only leave the state to try to seek care, but the purpose of the bill is also to strip away their support systems and make it as difficult as possible for them to seek care that they’re going to need.”
“‘Abortion’ means the act of using, prescribing, administering, procuring, or selling of any instrument, medicine, drug or any other substance, device, or means with the purpose to terminate the pregnancy of a woman, with the knowledge that the termination by any of those means will with reasonable likelihood cause the death of an unborn child,” the first section defines.
The language then declares life as beginning at fertilization. The word “device” means something like an intrauterine device (IUD) would be a device which would stop a fertilized egg from becoming implanted in the uterus.
To make matters worse, so many women have IUDs that if those women happen to be traveling through Oklahoma for business or a simple drive across the country, and they have an IUD a vigilantecould decide to allege the women had an “abortion” as a result of the IUD. There would be no test to take that could prove a woman was pregnant if she no longer is. But with an IUD the vigilante could argue that it’s clear if she was pregnant the fertilized egg was “aborted” by the law’s definition.
No - I’m using the IUD and those meds for other reasons.
Prove it’s not.
I use them to keep me safe from COVID and monkeypox! Do your research!
Ivermectin is an abortifacient!
It goes from personal to political.
I don’t like Williams as a public persona; regardless to that, I still believe that everyone should have agency over their own lives.
