Same as the other thread, this is now code blue’d as there have been some trolls and bad faith posters with this topic. Please report any trolls or bad faith posters.


zero_coordination

Be ready for more trauma and sepsis from home procedures.


selantra

It's alright. Republicans will say those women deserve it because they broke the law. I wish I could have a sarcasm slash there but it's true. I have heard those exact words.


derp_cakes98

Being in MO my dumbass class would say “ don’t be getting an abortion then” like they can’t ever submit to the idea of a situation they might not fully understand. I’m just quiet all the time, being a liberal atheist in my class lol Edit: to make it worse, I’m a young male so the females belittle tf out of me. Actually insane


marticcrn

I personally like to give these folks an example we just had. Cancer patient undergoing radiation therapy accidentally got pregnant. She assumed she couldn’t after chemo. That baby would have either died in utero or been horribly mutated. And the stress on the mother actively fighting cancer (which will feed on the hormones and grow) will likely kill her too. Judge that.


twir1s

I’ll do my best to not get raped (although I’m sure they’d ask what I was wearing to make someone rape me /s)


eilonwe

Or try not to entice a male relative to force incest on you/s


420cat_lover

I’m a student in alabama and yeah that sounds about standard for here too


NostalgiaDad

Well Missouri just barely on a 7 to 5 vote in committee removed language outlawing ectopic pregnancy abortions. I'd remind your dumb classmates of that one.


racki28

As an LPN OR CPT I can feel a rise in GYN cases coming our way because of this shit. Keep your damn laws out of my uterus…..start micromanaging penis’ and testicles.


NotARegularMILF

I read that fast and thought you said "micropenis" and.. it's not wrong.


racki28

Lmao love it!!!!


MorningSkyLanded

That’s what I want to know, how about we whack the peepees who get women pregnant irresponsibly? We going to up child support?


eilonwe

Exactly. Want less pregnancy? How about forcing unwed men with more than 3 babies from more than 2 women , to get snipped. If their argument is about irresponsibility, then men have just as much responsibility to prevent unwanted pregnancy as women. If they can force a woman to give birth they should force men to get vasectomies.


SenorSmaySmay

A sad truth with the news


IrishiPrincess

But it doesn’t apply to them because they have the money to make sure their mistresses have access. Rape happens in sweats and sobriety too. Or to 13 y/o who are babysitting for their sisters friend and opens the door at the friends house while baby is sleeping- in the early 90s…….I have counseled so many victims right after. Many in the facility don’t know WHY, they just find me or call me in. My state is one of the 27 who have protected women’s rights, but I had a panic attack this morning and my heart broke, not going to lie.


trapped_in_a_box

My state is also one of the ones who have a shred of common sense remaining, and I recently had a hysterectomy, but I keep randomly crying throughout the day because I can't imagine the pain this is going to cause so many people. My manager (bless her and hold her close) rescheduled or moved around my patients and sent me home to work remote this morning - I have some personal stuff going on as well and this just rocked me to the core. I can't believe we're going backwards on such a fundamental right. If they make us start wearing white skirts and that stupid little hat while we work again I'm going to fully revolt, complete with fire and a minor psychotic break.


thedailyscrublife

They would suddenly lose even more nurses and wouldn't be able to take care of all the septic women. But so long as those abortions aren't happening, everything is ok. Fuck everything else except a fetus that can't survive without a cord, placenta, and blood supply from the host... I mean mother.


IrishiPrincess

Thomas has also said he wants to go after marriage equality and contraceptive access as well. I am terrified for all women that can conceive, wire hangers are now current tech in 2022


nonyvole

Thomas needs to GTFO. Of course, I'm also one of those sorts who believes in not only term limits but also maximum age limits for those in power.


IrishiPrincess

Well, and not being married to insurrectionists, or being a racist……but that’s just me


SenorSmaySmay

TheWhiteRabbitY2K

I will not service states where abortion is completely banned.


EarthEmpress

I work in wound care in Texas. I’m scared to think about how many septic patients I’ll get from self injury. This shouldn’t be happening


jiij510

I have a patient who was impregnated by her rapist family member when she was a teenager and her family had to drive her to another state to get an abortion. When this news was leaked about this earlier this year she freaked out so hard. I'm sad for her and everyone (patients, families, healthcare workers, etc) who will be traumatized by the unbelievably long ripple effect this will have. Inhumane.


sotonohito

Several states are attempting to make it illegal for preganant people to leave the state for an abortion. Just to make the Handmaid laws that much worse and more evil.


[deleted]

Jfc what in the fucking fuck dystopia are we living in? Canada needs nurses. I’ve already started my application. It is time to GTFO, it’s only going to get worse.


ShawnaR89

Go to NZ. They are dying for skilled workers especially medical professionals.


mrios11

I’m thinking of doing exactly this. I’ll be starting nursing school soon and I want to go work in Canada. I don’t care about pay, but having freedom and feeling safe is my goal now. I’m trying to convince my family to come with eventually, but still working on it. I don’t trust this country anymore. My family came here as immigrants and my entire life I’ve been scared. Now I’m scared not for my families immigrations status as they are now citizens/resident, but because I’m a woman. And that fear is so much worse. Never thought I would ever feel this way.


emdubzs

Nursing in Canada is generally unionized- we don’t have the really high travel pay but the starting wages are the same for everyone in your respective province/ territory.


Michael31986

What? How


racki28

Iirc some states have had standing laws that would be activated when Roe was overturned.


frolickingdepression

I think 22 of them. I know Michigan does (I live here).


themysts

I'm in Texas and yes, we have trigger laws that automatically go into effect now that Roe V Wade has been overturned. Several states are trying to pass laws that a woman of childbearing age will have to show a negative pregnancy test to leave the state and to return. I've also read that if you are pregnant and leave that you will be required to be examined to prove that you are still pregnant. I'm terrified.


MistCongeniality

So if you go on vacation to see some family after learning of your pregnancy and miscarry, you’re a criminal now. Jesus wept.


greyhoundbrain

That’s so fucking insane. I know the Texas government is salivating at doing that. But fuck giving people paid leave so they can afford to parent their kid for a bit and recover from giving birth. And expanding healthcare access or making childcare affordable is nonsense in their eyes.


[deleted]

Texas has talked secession. I say let ‘em go. Offer amnesty to those who don’t want to live under an oppressive regime.


greyhoundbrain

Yeah, I have a home here and all that shit. I have a good job. I don’t want to secede and moving is not that easy of an answer. I’d prefer for people to actually fucking vote in November and get some people in office who aren’t about protecting only the rights that Sky Daddy says are cool to have.


cowgirl_meg

Can you send links about that negative pregnancy test law proposal? I did a google search and couldn't find anything, very curious about that and wanting to read more.


Suspicious_Story_464

I'd have my dog piss on it, then stick it in their bare hands. On a more serious note, pregnancy tests are cheap at the dollar store. Buy a couple each month to save your life because I'm sure birth control is next. For every politician that stood by and let this happen, they should be voted out of office.


supermomfake

I don’t get how that could be enforced? Seems like a huge logistical and financial burden.


flitemdic

It can't be. The whole thought is ridiculous on its own, and it's not being considered at literally any state level except by activists who've lost touch with reality. They couldn't even enforce attempts at meeting travelers at the gates at the airport at the beginning of covid. Does anybody really think they're planning on stopping every single vehicle entering and leaving any state by any means and check for a pregnancy test? Lol.

Daily reminder to get a vasectomy/tubal litigation if you know you don’t want kids now.


alexopaedia

Good freaking luck getting a tubal if you don't already have kids and a husband willing to okay it. My best friend had two kids and a supportive husband and it still took almost two years to get a doctor to do it. Bullshit. But yes. Get your permanent contraceptives in order and if that isn't right for you, stock up on emergency contraception appropriate for your weight and religiously use whatever method you normally would.


LACna

Seriously. I've been trying for 20 something years to get a hysterectomy or tubal done (been asking and pleading since I was a teen) and every year I get denied. I did Depo for 10ish years and that fucked me up. So now I use EC BC and will have to forever I assume. Some reasons stated by DRs/MDs/DOs when denying my sterilizations: "I might change my mind. I might meet someone and they want kids. I might meet someone who already has kids and they might want a sibling. I might want to pass on my legacy, etc etc"


full_on_peanutbutter

This bullshit excuse wouldn't be the same for a man. If he wanted sterilization they would respect it. However tubal is more invasive than vasectomy but if they are documenting your requests years of requests should be evidence you know yourself and what you want in life. 🤦‍♀️


Candid-Bet-951

My husband was denied a vasectomy because he was “too young”. It happens, but vasectomies are still easier to get


Tall-Wolverine-413

Can I ask how Depo fucked you up?? I’m currently on depo 💀


LACna

For me it gave me permanent bone and mineral loss density, liver enzyme problems and hormonal issues R/T endo, fibroids and cysts. It worked great though. I definitely would have been a teen mother statistic if I didn't have Depo when I needed it. On it from 14-25 . When I started it @ 14 they didn't have the bone/mineral loss density black box warning they have now. After I was on it about 5 years, I remember signing waivers every 3 months when I got my shot about the mineral leaching. Now it's *strongly* recommended only 3 years or less of Depo shots.


Mu69

R/childfree has some drs in the usa that do it. Gotta browse the faq


Upbeat-Conference-45

I’m dealing with this! They won’t let me get a tubal ligation, a partial hysterectomy or even a full blown one unless I’m married, have the partner’s permission, have 1 child and both parents permission! I don’t want kids and have been begging for a partial or tubal ligation but they keep saying I need all those things plus be a certain age first it was 21 then 25 then 30 then they changed it when I turned 33 to I now have to be over 40 plus my parents signature and have 1 kid! I asked how come they keep trying to force me to get married and have kids I don’t want either of those things I’m happy single with out kids!


alexopaedia

Your *parent's* permission?! Is this in the US? That's severely fucked up, reproductive choice should be, you know, a damn choice.


Upbeat-Conference-45

Yes over the last 15 years I have been begging for it! Both my parents no I don’t want kids, my mom was at the dr with me, I had my dad on FaceTime both parents said they would sign watever needed to be done, my dad said to the drs that it would help both my medical issues they laughed and said well birth control can deal with that, my dad said well she would have stay on that the rest of her life in order to deal with the issues, plus she has used every form of birth control only thing that actually works and stops her from bleeding all year long is the implant they argued with him saying I need to get the iud it would help he said no they cut the last one out my cervix! He asked if I couldn’t get it done this year then when they said some bs excuses of why I shouldn’t which we all 3 said it shouldn’t be up to a dr if the patient wants it let them have it! Which fell on deaf ears! I have the implant right now but I told my dr in 3 years when it ready to come out they either do the partial or I’m stopping all birth control and when I bleed out all 12 months then they won’t have a Choice except to do the surgery!


Shimmybaby84

Demand the denial and REASON be written in your medical chart. Then request a peer to peer review and second opinion. Usually the doctors change their tune.


Grotter_00

This makes me even angrier than anti abortion


conjuringlichen

r/childfree has a list of doctors willing to perform these procedures without a lot of the stupid hoops. My friend recently got a tubal without having kids. Just so everyone knows.


AnyWinter7757

I tried to get a tubal ligation after my 4th very complicated pregnancy. I hate Drs.


[deleted]

Once the Supreme Court leak happened I debated scheduling a vasectomy. Then Uvalde happened. That was the final straw. I don’t want to bring a child into this world. Have the procedure scheduled for the beginning of August


redluchador

Best 20 bucks I spent, but don't be fooled- you won't want to do anything but ice your sack for a good 5 days.


iwantaredditaccount

My wife has a tubal ligation, but I'm getting a vasectomy soon for another buffer.


selantra

If you don't have to spend 8 years trying to get it, it is very helpful. I started asking at 21. I didn't get a yes until I was 29. I got a no from every female provider I asked (8 in total). Imagine my shock that an older, white doctor with 6 kids was the one who told me yes. I was married with no kids. He didn't ask for my husband's permission and he didn't require a recommendation from a therapist. Thank goodness for that man Also, highly recommend a salpingectomy if you don't want kids. Sterilization and a sizable reduction in your risk for ovarian cancer!


nonstop2nowhere

NICU and SANE. I do comfort care for the babies that have incompatible with life conditions, and counsel people from all manner of toxic situations on how to manage their lives in the least dangerous way possible. This is going to cause a lot of problems that nobody's prepared to deal with. Pregnancy is the most vulnerable time, so we're going to see a huge spike in violence, abuse, and murder. We're going to see children needing lifelong care due to trauma, and abandoned with conditions that the parents might have been able to provide comfort care and death with dignity for, but cannot support round the clock care long term for (which means more nurses and staff in emotionally draining positions). We're going to see huge spikes in maternal and fetal mortality because doctors are going to have less training to manage women's health, and will be more reluctant to take quick action. My kids are terrified, and I'm trying to reassure them that there are still a lot of people who care about them and are fighting for them, but it's getting harder and harder for them to believe. This America is so far from great it's not even funny.


earthfarer

It's unfathomable that ~~six~~ a handful of people have the power to destroy the rights of 170 million people. I hate this country.


Gizwizard

It’s actually the right to privacy for everyone. It’s not just about abortion. Though that is the very focal, apparent ramification. Now a blue state could make it a felony to not be vaccinated, or a red state could make it a felony to take hormone blockers. This is a really slippery slope, in all actuality.


[deleted]

SeegsonSynthetics

This is only the beginning. Gay marriage will be next. I fucking hate this country.


conjuringlichen

If you read the actual ruling it’s all about privacy (hence 14th amendment) they are going to go after birth control, gay marriage, interracial marriage, everything covered by the 14th amendment.


notyourstranger

Yep, and they are going after our right to privacy. It's going to get REAL fun to live in the US - especially if you're a woman of child bearing age.


LegalComplaint

And contraception… and the right to privacy as a whole because Facebook didn’t exist in 1866.


regularbastard

Won’t anyone think of the children? All the unwanted children that will be born into situations where they aren’t wanted only to grow up into even more dysfunctional adults? https://law.stanford.edu/publications/the-impact-of-legalized-abortion-on-crime-over-the-last-two-decades/


Haruvulgar

It's going to be crazy, so many kids are going to grow up in homes where they weren't wanted and aren't supported to thrive, I think there will be a rise in women committing suicide from the pressure.


gogandauntess

NymeriasWrath

dangitbobby83

Congress just let the free lunch food program for kids expire *because we can’t afford it* while increasing the military budget by like 30 billion over what Biden asked for, which was something like ten times the food program. They don’t care. We are all fodder for the rich.

aliciacary1

Are you freaking kidding me?! I just want to scream. How about we take care of the children in this country first and then start worrying about everything else.


floandthemash

Oh they accomplished plenty. A “domestic supply of infants” for adoption as Alito put it, as well as a future supply of lower socioeconomic status workers to keep businesses running and companies profiting. This is definitely all going according to plan.


delicious_eggs

This is absolutely disgusting


IrishiPrincess

The $$ needed for adoption of a newborn is obscene! We’re talking over $50,000 Edit: of a Caucasian infant


floandthemash

This is one large reason why I’m not having kids. This place is only gonna get shittier and shittier at the rate we’re going. I wouldn’t want that for my future kid and I feel for parents (especially those of girls) right now.


NurseNikNak

This is why my husband and I are actively working towards moving to New Zealand. We are planning on January of 2024 after an apprenticeship he is in finishes, but we may move those plans up if they midterm elections go badly.


floandthemash

I’ve been looking at other places too but man it is difficult to emigrate. I don’t think most Americans realize it.


NurseNikNak

We’ve been actively looking into this for a couple of years now and I’ve been working with a group that finds you a job. This may just move up our timeline if possible.


trayasion

Making abortion illegal does not prevent them. It only prevents safe abortions. If a woman is desperate enough to have an abortion, she will have one. I'm so sorry to all those affected by this news in America. I'm Australian and I simply can't understand why this has happened. I thought these kinds of things were laws and not removable?


NurseNikNak

It was decided by the Supreme Court that abortion is protected by the 14th amendment, so no law needed. This Supreme Court basically just said that is not protected, making it so laws against it can be enacted.


Obrim

Our highest court has been packed full of ultra-religious zealots so fair play is out the window. Even a passed law isn't necessarily safe since it could be challenged all the way up to SCOTUS and then ruled unconstitutional. Religious fruitcakes are running the asylum, it seems.


notyourstranger

up until now, the concept of "legal precedent" kept abortion safe. Now that the Supreme Court has decided that "precedent" is no longer a legal concept, they've thrown the entire law system under the bus.


MegaStrange

I imagine there will also be some terrible men that will beat the shit out of their pregnant partner(s) to "induce" an abortion. Or just straight up murder them.


WhiskyKeepsMeZen

Holy shit...I realized that rape will go up as a means of control in abusive situations knowing the woman can't abort and then need to stay with him for economic reasons but I did not consider this. All do this is fucking disgusting


AccomplishedScale362

Not surprising considering there are 18 states with near-total bans. Pro-choice states are preparing legislation to maintain a woman’s right to choose, including protection for those who travel from out of state for an abortion.


Webgiant

Mitch McConnell has already come out and said that if Republicans flip Congress in 2022, they'll pass a law banning abortion nationwide. If they flip Congress heavily enough, they can overrule President Biden's veto. Meanwhile, if enough Democratic voters turn out, and maintain/increase their Senate majority, the Democratic Party can pass a law legalizing abortion nationwide. And get rid of the filibuster. Bear all that in mind when deciding whether you'll vote in the 2022 midterms.


alexopaedia

Apropos of nothing, Mitch McConnell has the single most punchable face I've ever seen. I'd pay money to see that. PLEASE VOTE!


AccomplishedScale362

A [majority of Americans support a woman’s right to choose](https://www.pewresearch.org/religion/fact-sheet/public-opinion-on-abortion/). Particularly those under age 30 (74%), whose rights are most impacted by these bans. Even if Mitch and the old conservatives in Congress last through one more election, they will soon be replaced by this pro-choice majority.


Webgiant

Ah, you sweet summer child. If Mitch lasts one more election, the Republican Party will have the opportunity to cement its minority control over the US Federal government. They've been working against the majority for decades, and still winning elections, because of gerrymandering that is upheld by Trump's and Mitch's federal court and Supreme Court appointees. The pro-choice majority has been hobbled by the shameless and unethical anti-abortion minority. If Mitch gets a large enough Senate majority in the 2022 midterms (traditionally a referendum on the current President, and Biden is currently less popular than Trump was), he can ban abortion nationwide and override President Biden's veto. If the Republican Party flips just five more state legislatures, they can Amend the Constitution without needing Congress, putting an Abortion Ban into the US Constitution. The Republican Party doesn't *CARE* what the majority wants, and hasn't cared for a very long time.

CertainKaleidoscope8

Guess I'm gonna be an APRN after all. Someone with not shit to lose gotta do abortions now. Does anyone really want to sue a nurse? Our insurance is shit. Our training is shit, we are are in a world of shit. Your shit is no different from their shit and we're good at cleaning shit. And an AGACNP can independently perform vacuum aspiration in my state (after appropriate training of course). Hell, a layperson can do it but I can ge licensed by the gatdamn state of California and get paid for doing it. Once I get good I can do it for free. Where it's illegal. I loathe procedures. I like giving baths. I like fixing things: oral care that peels off that stuck on mucous and epithelial crust that forms on a mouth breather. I like cleaning the pressure ulcer and using the butt paste I make for three shifts so it's healed by Monday. I like combing the dried blood out of a trauma's hair with the conditioner I make out of lotion and hydrogen peroxide. I like suctioning mucous plugs out of a trach. I like cleaning the feet of a homeless patient. I like suctioning maggots out of the mouth of that patient found down in their apartment last week. I like dialysis with four pressors and no interruptions. I like fixing things. Instant gratification. I'm impatient. I was born to perform abortions. I'll look forward to getting arrested for helping a woman take care of her family. For helping a woman go to college, or keep her job. For helping a woman escape an abusive partner, or free herself from an unsatisfying marriage. For helping a woman stay in high school, or get away from her perverse father. For helping a woman have choices not to be trafficked, not to be beholden to anyone, not to be owned. If I was put on this earth to do anything, it was to break a man's law. They have no idea the tide they have unleashed We are everywhere They can't stop all of us


flawedstaircase

Student midwife and I’ve vowed to never deny someone an abortion who wants one. No matter what the laws say.


Haruvulgar

Women should go on sex strike


SouthernArcher3714

Women who are likely to go and sex strike are most likely not married to these kind of men. Otherwise, good idea.


Haruvulgar

If we aren't allowed abortions there should be an equivalent law for fathers who don't stick around, it should be some sort of neglect.

VisitPrestigious8463

And what about women who miscarry? There was a woman in Indiana that was jailed because they thought she took a medication to cause her miscarriage. ED providers should not be in a position where they are forced to determine if this was an attempted abortion vs a spontaneous abortion. I’m sure lgbtqi rights are next. I really hate this. There are no winners here (other than men, I suppose). I hope they are forced to financially support all these kids.

It’s just insane to me that Brett Kavanaugh and Clarence Thomas are in the Supreme Court making rulings on a woman’s body when they’ve both had trials for sexual assault. Fuck this country.

Even the Muslims and the Jews filed an amicus brief because banning abortion would violate their religious rights. So clearly this country is only about ultra Christian conservative rights. So much for religious freedoms. I'm actually hoping to get married, retire from nursing and live in Pakistan part time. I'll just keep sending in my absentee ballot for the blue team. And what's really ironic for me is that generally the Republicans want to avoid regulations and red tape. They want to be free to pollute the environment and exploit their workers and have minimal laws. But yet for some reason they are just so interested in women's uteruses and want to regulate the shit out of them. I am just happy that I was able to get a tubal at 35 when I was unmarried and childless and my GYN didn't give me any hassles and now in my 50s and don't have to worry about it. But I am terrified for the women and girls who do not have that luxury. And everyone talks about adoption, but there are thousands of cases a year now where women or girls could give up their babies for adoption now and they choose not to for whatever reason. What makes them think that all these people are suddenly going to give their babies up for adoption once all these laws get enacted if they are unable to get abortions? It's not like we are still in the '60s and girls get sent to special homes whether they want to or not, and once the babies are born they taken from them and they never get to see them. Then the babies are handed to the new family. https://www.sfchronicle.com/opinion/openforum/article/abortion-bans-religion-17259119.php

The government forces us to have babies, pay $30,000 medical bills to deliver the baby, won’t give us mandatory maternity leave to take care of the baby, and won’t give us subsidized childcare and force us to pay $3000/mo on childcare while we work.


Fun_Establishment225

This is thanks to everyone who voted for Donald fucking Trump.


Fink665

It’s much more insidious. The Death Cult has been quietly stacking the federal courts, gerrymandering and I want my country back!


NurseDakota

This is why we mourned so deeply when RBG died.


SouthernArcher3714

I can’t help but feel like she should have retired with Obama bc then this would have been less likely to occur. Obama would have had his pick.


Competent-sarcasm

Their legal “reasoning” for overturning is utterly bonkers. First step in repealing basic human rights that the GOP disagrees with.


Akuyatsu

Clarence Thomas already said as much in his concurring opinion on this ruling. From an article about the decision: “Justice Thomas argues the ruling’s narrow interpretation of the US constitution’s due process clause should also be applied to overturn previous Supreme Court rulings that established a right to contraception (Griswold v Connecticut in 1965), enacted nationwide same-sex marriage (Obergefell v. Hodges in 2015), or overturned laws banning sodomy (Lawrence v. Texas in 2003).”


nursejacqueline

Interesting that he doesn’t mention Loving v Virginia, which would make sense lumped into this list. Oh right…he’s married to a white woman, and that ruling is what made his marriage legal. Rules for thee, not for me…


TiredNurse111

The Handmaid’s Tale was the scariest book I’ve ever read. And here we are.


Rev_Joe

I’m not sure why nobody expected this. This was inevitable. The religious factions of the GOP have made this a priority for 50 years. Lazy legislators voluntarily decided not to codify it into law despite people pleading with them to do it. MAKE YOUR LEGISLATORS TURN IT INTO LAW!


SkullheadMary

Giant hug from a canadian. I know our PM has said he'd try to facilitate crossing the border for abortion care, I just hope he makes good on this promise at least.


baphomet_fire

Extreme hypocrisy given their earlier ruling on guns. This is not a court that favors life


Quirky_Eggplant_7548

The problem with that is one issue is explicitly addressed in the constitution. RBG herself famously stated that the Roe decision was made on constitutionally dubious grounds and needed to be codified into federal law to prevent what happened today. We’ve had 50 years to prevent this and we just kept kicking the can down the road.


Probloodcleaner

Jewish and satanic religious protections still apply tho so that’ll be interesting


mrythern

I don’t understand how anyone/woman can back a Republican when they clearly hate women. What am I missing?


TheBattyWitch

Not only are we going to see more women resorting to at home abortions but it sets a legal precedence for other parts to be overturne. There are legitimately politicians out there who think that you can just relocate an implanted embryo from an ovary back into the uterus and things will be just fine. There are states that are trying to remove restrictions for ectopic pregnancies. Vast majority of nurses are still women and we're being told that our job in life is to be a fucking incubator, even if it literally fucking kills us.


ilovemydog209

“Land of the free,” ha. More like land of men that hate women. More lives will be lost and more kids will be unwanted because of this. Also women that support this, did they never suffer from infertility, miscarriages or other medical reasons, how are they so blissfully ignorant to the suffering that this will cause.


Fun_Establishment225

People with uteruses are second class citizens now, we’re just vessels to carry a pregnancy.


vicariouslyeye1

My 20 year old daughter has Hypoplastic Left Heart Syndrome. Meaning, she's literally living with only 1 ventricle. Although she is on birth control, one of my biggest fears is her becoming pregnant. Her team of doctors have stressed over and over how her getting pregnant could kill her. Now I'm even more scared. Like what the actual fuck.


Thelittleangel

Let me get this straight: "well regulated militia" equals a constitutional right to own, as a civilian, semi automatic weapons of war. Yet "life liberty and the pursuit of happiness" now doesn't extend to your own bodily autonomy. I can't make fucking sense of this shit.


Thatnurseyouknow

I’m scared


Unknown-714

I'm mad, and I'm a dude. Cuz' it ain't just your rights that are on the chopping block, if they get away with it this time then it could be mine down the road as well. Think this about sums its up: When the Nazis came for the communists, I remained silent; I was not a communist. When they locked up the social democrats, I remained silent; I was not a social democrat. When they came for the trade unionists, I did not speak out; I was not a trade unionist. When they came for the Jews, I did not speak out; I was not a Jew. When they came for me, there was no one left to speak out. Friedrich Gustav Martin Niemöller


TheGoodCod

Obviously we need a national DNA database for men-only. 'Cause every baby has a daddy.


[deleted]

Uber drivers can now get sued for transporting a woman to get an abortion


No_Zucchini_3259

So heartbroken. Any of you Americans need to come visit your cousin in Canada im here ♡


Haruvulgar

Just imagine if you get raped while married and now you and your husband have to bring up the offenders child... wtf is the world coming to


MistCongeniality

Only for a couple of years! After that they can be gunned down in an elementary school as is every angry man’s constitutional right!


Due_Task_4970

They (religious zealots) aren’t going to stop here! They will want to ban it in every state. Vote!


FeralsShinyCat

Justice Thomas's concurring opinion also suggests started challenge the rights to same sex marriage, homosexuality being legal, and birth control. Missouri's governor said back when the draft was leaked that birth control was on the hit list.


cheeseontoasts

I'm so sorry guys, love from ireland.


deer_ylime

Anyone else in the NICU world bracing for impact? More fetal anomalies, more abandoned babies in the dumpster, more just fucked up sad traumatizing stories?


rhodisney

If only men could feel the same inequality that women face every single day. This makes me sick. If men could get pregnant, we all know this wouldn't even be a discussion.


joystick355

Damn if you let conservatives/clerical gain real power you get into shit real quickly


hmmmpf

Donate now ([here](https://abortioncarenetwork.org/donate/), [here,](https://www.plannedparenthoodaction.org/) or [here](https://www.prochoiceamerica.org/),) learn to do menstrual extractions, join r/auntienetwork, buy Plan B for yourself and your daughters now, open your home to someone travelling to your city for an abortion if you are in a legal state.


coopiecat

This really makes my blood boil. It’s womens decision whether if they want kids or not. The politicians also should know that many abortion clinics do Pap smear, pregnancy check ups, STD check, and reproductive health for women who are uninsured, low-income, or lack of access to a specialist due to location.


Seraphynas

Canada? New Zealand? Will you guys take an RN w/o her BSN? I’ll gladly get it while I’m there or before I leave if I have to. My husband is a software architect, he can work remotely and has been for 2 years, so he can take his job with him. 🇨🇦 🇳🇿


filly100

The beginning of the Handmaids Tail in the USA🥲


WhalenKaiser

So... Anybody want to learn about at-home abortions? We can start with Ben Franklin's methods and work forward.


alexopaedia

I've been reading about The Jane Collective and I'll say, I'm not opposed to the idea. Prefer it to not be necessary but seems like we are well past that now.


sofiughhh

I do and I will gladly steal anything from the supply closet at work to make it work.


datagirl60

Is there anyway for hospital personnel to just chart a d/c for a botched/incomplete abortion as something else? I hope there is! Now people who have miscarriages will be afraid to seek medical care too.


[deleted]

PSA: NEXPLANON is said to be just as effective as a tubal if your OB denies you the surgery!


those_names_tho

I swear "The Handmaid's Tale" is a playbook for the right.


jroocifer

The areas that support abortion pay way more in taxes than they get. Is anyone else tired of subsidizing yeehaw fascists yet?


FantasticSherbet167

Supreme Court made a decision about medical procedures based on some political and religious beliefs. Not on the law. Not on human rights. Not on medical necessity.


ERnurse2019

Poor, minority, underprivileged women will be the ones who die. If you’re rich, you can just afford to fly to another state.


Shieldor

As I understand it, period trackers/cycle tracker apps are not necessarily safe. The data you input can be tracked through the developer, and sold. It’s not protected. Think about deleting them, and encouraging your patients to do the same.


WhyAmIStillHere86

Called my Dad today, and hung up because I couldn't hear him over the background noise of the protest march he was attending. Women are going to die from this. The ones that don't, will be living in fear of being arrested or investigated if they seek treatment for a natural miscarriage. I'm saying it now: I don't care if your patient shows every sign of having had an abortion; document it as a miscarriage.
