Shouting from the rooftops about what abortion bans are really like from the perspective of an OB/GYN
www.usatoday.com/story/opinio...
Opinion: I'm an OB-GYN in the South. Abortion bans make it impossible to 'do no harm.'
As an OB-GYN in the South, I check a patient's address before reviewing her medical history. That's not normal.

Halting the provision of HIV medicine to low income countries, Pepfar, which has saved 25 million people, is egregious.

It’s not surprising this America First agenda was created by a billionaire who gives no charity.

Some high school students reached out for an interview for a short doc on #reproductiverights. Given the sensitive nature I asked for an official from their school to confirm who they were. I chatted with them today.

NO ONE else responded to them. PEOPLE, we have to mentor our young folks.

Women died in GA as a result of the abortion ban.

We found out because the state’s maternal mortality committee members spoke to Politico.

So GA fired the whole committee of #medical professionals to stop “leaked” information.

Members of the task force had told ProPublica the state's abortion ban had led to women's deaths.

Thanks to the #authors of amazing craft books.

Some of my favorites while #writing Tap Dancing on Everest. The first page is general and memoir craft and the second is editing/pitching/publishing.

Did you experience significant loss as a child? I did, which is why there’s a special place in my heart for those who have.

Read about Children’s Grief Awareness Month and what that means to me in the latest from Embracing the Full Catastrophe. Hope to see you there. 🩷
What Story Do You Tell Yourself About the Losses That Have Shaped You?

Interesting interview with Dr. Ellen Wiebe, a Canadian physician who assists dying for people with grievous conditions (gift article).

Do you think this should be more widely accessible in the US?
