Disagree. Enabling Trump supporters is what got us Trump. Trump holds actual views and pushes policies that dehumanize immigrants, LGBT, minorities, and women, but when we call out people for holding these views they are the victims that are being dehumanized? Nope.

Bullshit. When Trump supporters like my own father look people straight in the eye and tell them its their problem if they can’t afford health insurance and end up dying (like my dad did to my cancer-survivor husband) they can fuck right off. I’m sick of this “BE NICE TO THEM OR YOU’LL GET MORE TRUMP!” Why be nice?

No, hospitals are not happy to take $50 a month for the rest of your life- if you don’t have insurance that covers your care they will take all your money and assets until the bill is paid and then turn you onto Medicaid. I don’t know how you could not know this. Half of US bankruptcies (at least previous to the ACA)

I was concerned about this when I first heard him garbling things a bit in those Senate hearings. The kind of skin cancer he had was a malignant melanoma, which is the kind that can turn ugly and metastasize aggressively really quickly. It goes after the brain frequently.

I have to look professional for work and shit and still have to care to some degree. I long for the days where I can dye my hair blue and style it in an elegant old lady poof and not give any fucks about anything but my own opinion.

God dammit, I was happy for a second there that I could go back to a ridiculously easy hair look for my hair, but noooo I’m not under 25.

What if my hair still looks like this? Not because I’m trendy, but because I never bothered to change it the first time around.

This is one of the only ways to get my hair to behave in humidity, so I’ll buy it, but sans center part + clips.

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

All of Wisconsin will suffer if this bill passes, not just Wisconsin women. I wish ACOG had realized that in their letter. Though women are the only recipients of abortion, reproductive care and having certified OB/GYNs has an impact on everyone. We have to stop the bullshit that says that reproductive issues ONLY

We wouldn’t have a language problem if we didn’t have a general depreciation of actual women. If women mattered, “women’s issues” would matter too.

I get this. It is really annoying to have anything that you are passionate about be labelled as a “women’s issue” just because women are the ones who speak up about it. I have seen affordable childcare/ early childhood education referred to as a “woman’s issue,” as if only women have children or care about their kids

We need to call this what it is: intentionally sabatoging the health insurance of potentially millions of Americans because the GOP is still committed to hating Obama at any cost. He is not “letting” anything fail. The GOP already orchestrated the lack of choice/high premiums debacle by passing an amendment to the ACA

Good.

I’m right there with you. I want to see their entire organization burnt to the fucking ground. I want to see them remembered for generations on as the group who were OK with selling out the very soul of our country just so they could stick it to as many poor people as possible. I want to see fuckers hang. I want to be

In a sick way, I hope something truly terrible has gone down with Trump and Putin. I want every Republican to own this nightmare now and forever, and supporting a president who was found to have sold out our democracy and play the puppet to a foreign adversary may be the one thing that could end the GOP for good.

As a selfish person, if I were picking teams, I’d pick him for my team. Works hard, keeps his head down, no crimes, doing jobs other people don’t want to do... done deal, you stay sir.

How I wish situations were GENUINELY treated from the viewpoint of “what’s best for America?” and not through the lens of ideologies.
