A 5 and 3 year old lost their Mom. A clear case of doctors withholding a D&C causing a death. The doctor also had no qualms about throwing nurses under the bus either. Clots the size of grapefruits is not minimal bleeding.
A Third Woman Died Under Texas’ Abortion Ban. Doctors Are Avoiding D&Cs and Reaching for Riskier Miscarriage Treatments.
Thirty-five-year-old Porsha Ngumezi’s case raises questions about how abortion bans are pressuring doctors to avoid standard care even in straightforward miscarriages.

Lucy Letby was banned from talking to her colleagues after being redeployed off the unit she loved working on. The reason the consultants got funding for more staff is because the care they were providing was substandard. But ofc let’s blame a nurse.

A well written article about harm reduction and the need for government funded overdose prevention sites.
Doctors are taking time off work and paying out of pocket to open overdose prevention sites at Island hospitals. These services are badly needed to save lives, help people access medical care and keep patients and staff safe, doctors say. Me for @thetyee.ca thetyee.ca/News/2024/11...

Spot on. The powerless cannot abuse the powerful.
Thinking mutual abuse exists shows a fundamental misunderstanding of what abuse even is, in the first place. There can't be abuse without a power imbalance, and you can't change victim and perpetrator like a seesaw. The roles are fixed. The powerless cannot abuse the powerful.

As usual, Republicans do not object to "language policing," they object to terminology that represents greater societal acceptance of marginalized groups.

Many here who have joined from Twitter once supported my voice some years ago. You helped set of a chain of support that gave rise to a national a campaign that helped free my mother from prison in a landmark case that gave voice to countless victims of coercive control. So, I will be here too.

🧵I wrote my thesis on how Ireland repealed their constitutional ban on abortion.

What I found, is that the testimonies of women who nearly died - or stories of women who did die - or were otherwise traumatized were the most effective on changing anti-healthcare people’s minds.

Highly encourage everyone to hide replies from accounts posting abusive, obnoxious or off-topic things

It’s one thing to share alternative viewpoints in a respectful way, but if they can’t use the Internet like an adult or show any understanding of basic social norms, don’t give them oxygen

Lucy Letby was found guilty for the death of Baby A. There was no evidence of an air embolism on the PM and Dr. Evans decided that was the cause of death because there was no other reason. Maybe having inexperienced doctors insert IV lines had something to do with it.

There are three main reasons I’m seeing people cite for their reluctance to move from Twitter to Bluesky:
1. Stubbornness and sunk cost fallacy
2. Not getting as much engagement
3. Bluesky doesn’t have the people/content they want on it yet
Now, to briefly argue against these reasons 🧵
