Jen Gunter Instagram – We are at this awful place because of politics. There is no abortion law in Canada, and so women are not bleeding to death or dying from sepsis in parking lots.
Wonder why we don’t have affordable contraception, better studies for menopause, or even a basic understanding of endometriosis? Wonder why it’s so hard to find health care professionals in many places? The root of so many issues is related to politics.
While it is clear that many previous governments could have done better by women in many ways, we have one party that is actively trying to harm women. And if the GOP is elected, we can almost certainly expect a national abortion ban.
And if a national abortion ban won’t affect you, or you think it won’t because you may one day have a daughter or daughter in law with ruptured membranes and an infection at 19 weeks, remember this: in the United States abortion is the canary in the coal mine. Contraception and IVF will be next. There are many dark turns this could take.
And for those who are still not swayed. Pharmaceutical companies will almost certainly stop testing new drugs on those capable of getting pregnant, because a miscarriage could be viewed as an abortion.
And any health care professional upset over the Scientific American endorsement has made it clear what they think of the suffering of women. | Posted on 17/Sep/2024 20:06:19
