A thread of our own- misogyny (Part 1)

In the lawsuit filed this week in Aitkin County, Minnesota, Anderson alleged the pharmacist there, a man named George Badeaux, refused to fill her prescription based on his “beliefs” and warned her against trying to get it filled at another nearby pharmacy.

Anderson said she then drove to a CVS some 20 miles away from her home, which also declined the prescription, and allegedly told her a Walgreens some 50 miles away didn’t have the pill. But then, Anderson says, she called the Walgreens herself and found out the pill was available there. She drove through a treacherous snowstorm to fill the prescription.

“and warned her against trying to get it filled at another nearby pharmacy.”

Sounds like a harrassment complaint - making threats on top of being an unethical professional should mean his or her license gets reviewed.

But how else will women know their place if they are not put into it by people who have no right to tell them what to do with their bodies…? /s

As an antidote of sorts (but still being put here, because it’s still allowing women to not have control of their own bodies):

GOOD.

Though of course, the dickhead couldn’t resist issuing a full-of-shit non-apology:

“It was an awful act and an awful mistake,” he said, adding that he was raising his arm trying to pat the reporter on the back or shoulder and didn’t realize until seeing the video he had touched her buttocks.

This I love! Right wing dominionist will, of course, be scandalized, because the fact is they don’t give a damn about children or fetuses. They care a lot about controlling women’s bodies and sexuality, and punishing women who have unapproved, nonreproductive sex. Collateral damage is entirely acceptable in that pusuit.

Yes, that and getting votes (and thus power, and money) by using the issue of abortion and reproductive rights to inflame hardcore Christian yahoos.

These are not unrelated, of course. It falls under “hurting the people they are supposed to hurt.”

But they’re quite okay with abortions when they get their pieces on the side knocked up. :rage:

And one has to place that hand with the IV port forward &right next to the walker.

Though there doesn’t seem to be anything connected to it.
