The #IowaSupremeCourt ruled on Fri that the state’s 6-wk #AbortionBan, when most women don’t even know they are pregnant, could be enforced, a decision that sharply limits #access to #abortion & fulfills a longstanding aim of the state’s #Republican leaders.

When I was 21…I was told I was likely infertile and that pregnancy could and probably would kill me. I was denied a tubal ligation and/or hysterectomy because I “might meet a man who wants kids”.

It was a horrifying look at how deep misogyny runs in medicine - and how little women are trusted to know their own bodies and make decisions for their health.

I eventually had the hysterectomy- but only once it became an emergency because I was bleeding to death and they couldn’t stop it. The surgery was more traumatizing and dangerous because I wasn’t afforded the time to adequately prep.

I’m grateful to have survived - and sharing my story in the hopes it helps other women feel less alone. I hope it challenges doctors and healthcare workers to think differently about how they treat women and realize that not ALL of us can become mothers (and not all of us WANT to either).

At the end of the day - a man wouldn’t have had these issues if he wanted a vasectomy. He would have been trusted to know his body. He wouldn’t have been treated like an incubator and I sincerely doubt many men are asked whether they’ve considered that they could meet their “dream woman” and she might be angry about their sterility.

There’s no stigma about the childless cat man.

#SCOTUS allows #HHS to divert funds over #abortion referrals

The #SupremeCourt Tues cleared the way for the #Biden admin to strip millions of #HealthCare dollars from #Oklahoma over its refusal to direct patients to info about #abortions — a federal req that the state says would be at odds w/its strict #AbortionBan.

Last yr, the Biden admin diverted $4.5M from OK’s #FamilyPlanning prgm, which primarily serves #LowIncome or #uninsured patients.

As the #AntiAbortion movement grows increasingly frustrated w/ #Trump, they are turning to his No. 2, Sen #JDVance, for help.
Trump’s criticism of 6-week #AbortionBans, his support for #IVF (w/a #weird promise to make IVF coverage free), & his public stance that #abortion is now a settled issue left to the states have made some anti-abortion advocates urge their followers not to vote for the #GOP ticket.

Six months ago, Missouri voters approved an amendment to the state constitution that enshrined their right to abortion. Republican lawmakers have now approved a new referendum that would seek the amendment's repeal and ban most abortions, with exceptions for rape and incest. "Republican senators used a series of rare procedural moves to cut off discussion by opposing Democrats before passing the proposed abortion-rights revision by a 21-11 vote. The measure passed the Republican-led House last month," according to @AssociatedPress. Here's more.
