Outrageous

Well the NIH has cancelled the Women's Health Initiative, the largest study of women in history

It has been running continuously since 1991 and has provided massive key knowledge about diseases in women

Unreal

I spoke to a South Carolina woman today who is miscarrying - her fetus has no heartbeat - but the state's ban is preventing doctors from taking action.

She has to walk around with a dead fetus for another week so she can get a FOURTH ultrasound.

This is what bans do.

Ohio lawmakers want to give tax credits to fetuses—this isn’t about helping families. It’s a backdoor to fetal personhood and a step toward banning abortion from conception. #ReproRights #OhioPolitics

Is this just our new normal? Women being arrested if a cop doesn’t like how they miscarried, and lawmakers debating whether to put us to death before breaking for fucking lunch? Has everyone lost their minds?
They're Arresting Us for Miscarriages Now

If lawmakers want to fight waste & fraud in healthcare, start with billion-dollar insurance companies—not by gutting Medicaid, which covers millions of women during pregnancy and nearly half of all U.S. births. #ProtectMedicaid

This is going to get a lot worse before it gets better. Please get your kids vaccinated. The MMR vaccine is safe, provides lifelong protection in most cases, and is the most effective way of preventing measles, which can disable and kill.

RFK Jr is a firehouse of disinformation. Getting measles gives you immunity, but also gives you measles with risks of encephalitis, pneumonia, and death. MMR vaccine wanes 0.04%/year, not 4.5%. For the vast majority it’s lifetime protection and it’s incredibly safe.

House GOP passed a budget cutting Medicaid by $880B over 10 years—hurting nearly 80M Americans. Medicaid covers 41% of U.S. births, nearly half in Ohio. Call your Senators & state leaders to reject these cuts! #ProtectMedicaid #MedSky @protecthealthcare.medsky.social @doctorscouncilseiu.bsky.social

NEW: Pregnancy became far more dangerous in Texas after the state banned abortion, according to ProPublica’s first-of-its-kind analysis, which found the sepsis rate for women hospitalized as they miscarried in the 2nd trimester shot up by more than 50%.

Texas Banned Abortion. Then Sepsis Rates Soared.
ProPublica’s first-of-its-kind analysis is the most detailed look yet into a rise in life-threatening complications for women experiencing pregnancy loss under Texas’ abortion ban.
