Right?! There’s like 20 specialties to choose from! There’s always a need for more pediatricians and general practitioners. If you want it make money how about anesthesiology or dermatology. Ugh the fact that doctors can choose to opt out of procedures IN THEIR OWN FIELD is insane.

The police chiefs of every major city in Texas are against this law. Why? Because it sets them against the communities they are trying to protect, making the local police the enforcers of federal laws. It may mean that immigrants, legal or otherwise, will be unwilling to report crimes because of fear that they will be…

So, here’s my question. When did the “followers of Christ” (as many Republicans profess to be) decide that a political, man-made border is actually more important than the commandments of their “Lord and Savior”.

I’m morally opposed to helping children put on clothing or changing nappies and the kindergarten had the audacity to reject my job application.

“Trainees who object to abortions can opt out, according to the guidelines.” And then they can opt the fuck out of Med School as far as I’m concerned.

Yes, preventing training for a legal medical procedure simply bc the government doesn’t like it could set a very dangerous precedent. If it passes, next up they’ll block training to provide birth control-related procedures, such as inserting IUDs or tube-tying.

Potentially stupid question, so enlighten me, medical folks - I had a miscarriage recently. No heartbeat on the three month ultrasound. Waited a week to see if it would happen naturally, but no luck, so I was scheduled in for a D&C, as they were worried about the risk of infection, and also, ya know, the psychological…

Let’s also quit teaching residents how to treat STDs so these politicians spend every day with itching and burning pain exactly where they deserve it.

Also, D&Cs are an absolutely critical aspect of women’s health care entirely apart from abortion. I bet we all know multiple mothers who would have died or become sterile without one - it is not uncommon to need one after an incomplete miscarriage or retained products of conception after the birth of a child. I can…

This. Was rage-stroking at the thought of having my miscarriage at 12 weeks in a state where I could not go and have a dead fetus taken out of my body. It is fucking hard to see an ultrasound that suddenly shows no heartbeat when you’re hoping for a baby. Can’t imagine being told to go home and deal with it myself. I…

Seconded. This argument boggles my mind when it comes up in health care too. “Why should men have to pay for maternity coverage?” BECAUSE YOU ARE HALF OF THE FUCKING EQUATION. Women don’t get pregnant on their own, and we don’t get to opt out of insurance coverages we don’t think we’ll ever need. That’s not how…

No caffeine for pregnant women. No shellfish or alcohol past a certain month. And while we won’t give you family leave or guarantee your job, you won’t be allowed to work past a certain month.

WOW. This type of thing drives me extra crazy because ABORTION IS LEGAL. So this is telling the university to just not teach a certain medical practice to medical students. Its like telling them not to learn how to do stitches on patients. Ridiculous, hopefully this does not pass.

Should we also mention that abortions are not just performed to end a pregnancy. Many women who had miscarriages have D&Cs performed.

I imagine there are other procedures, medications, treatments, that could cause inadvertently and even unexpectedly but possibly, abortions in pregnant women.

As someone with close friends and family who are Republicans it’s amazing how embarrassed they are by that stuff. My best friend actually wrote back (by hand!) to one of those RNC mailers asking for his opinion and said, “please focus less on where people are going to the bathroom and more on making it easier for me…

100% expect attack ads misgendering/deadnaming her, digs about any surgeries she’s had, any pics they can dig up of her pre-transition... it’s gonna get ugly. this is not someone with restraint, or taste, or compassion that she’s up against.

I’ve come to the conclusion that being a Republican is the most amazing life experience possible. It has to be. There is no other explanation for why those people believe where somebody else takes a piss is their biggest life problem.

Given that she’s trans and he’s an ass-headed pigdick, those might be the *tame* ads. If he really decides to double down on transphobia, well, it could be pretty nasty.

Cue the “Out of state special interest groups want to hijack the election and take away the voice of real District 13 voters...” ads in 3, 2, 1...
