I mean they tell me my teeth and eyeballs are somehow not covered as healthcare either, so why the fuck not just throw darts at an anatomical diagram to decide which body parts do count.
Abortions literally keep women from dying of eclampsia, or allow them to get treatment for cancer and other diseases that would otherwise be contraindicated. I'm just baffled how none of that counts as health care.
I know. Abortion as an intervention is safer than pregnancy.
But then we are living in "what I tell you three times is true" times, where people believe that strength loudness of assertion >> strength of evidence.
Wyoming's abortion ban is especially awful when you learn that 19th Century Wyoming allowed women to vote in all local and state elections in an effort to bring more women to the state.
Need a break from all the depressing things about being a woman in this world? This circle is for you!
This circle is for celebrating all the good news relating to women's interests (and by all, we mean ALL, even the things you might disagree with, e.g. achievements or advancements for women in the military, business, religion, etc.)
Rules:
Relevance: Women should be the primary focus. Posts about men being held accountable, found guilty of crimes, etc. are NOT appropriate for this circle.
Formatting: Posts should be actual news, preferably in the form of an article or from an official news source. Do not edit the headline of linked articles; if you would like to provide additional commentary, please do so in a comment.
Civility: Keep discussions on topic. Do not denigrate the achievements or advancements of women.
Promoting Infighting or Drama: Do not start or perpetuate infighting or drama. Disagreements must be civil and must be about the CONTENT of the post, not about the poster, other commenters, the site, etc.
How do they justify that one??

It's terrible, I know, that "teeth and eyeballs" made me laugh.
It’s insane how much dental and vision care cost, and they’re always left off of standard insurance plans!
Because it doesn't affect men??
I don't know. It makes no sense to me either.
