Another medical professional spreading misleading info that prioritizes politics over women's wellbeing.

She's ties abortion laws to a pharmacy denying a prescription (w/claims her friend could die) but refused to engage with the pharmacy to address the issue.

#ReThinkAbortion
Here's the claim:

Note that Texas law does not prohibit any specific medication from being prescribed. The law only prohibits illegal abortions, so prescriptions *for illegal abortions* would be prohibited. Prescriptions for other purposes remain legal.
If true, the pharmacy would be at fault for declining to fill a legal and necessary (and non-controversial) prescription. But she focuses on a law she doesn't like instead, even refusing to engage with the pharmacy who was willing to address and correct their mistake (if true).
If there was any doubt about the motivation of this misleading post, she makes it clear here with encouragement to vote against abortion restrictions based on this emotionally manipulative post falsely implying abortion limits could lead to her friends death.

From what I've seen this surgery often has a lower official age of consent (17) than a gender affirming hysterectomy (18), but carries far greater risks.

JH doesn't specify age of consent for any procedure (that I could find) and barley mention risks.

This study shows the importance of ensuring women have information on alternatives to abortion as part of abortion counseling. Those who discussed alternatives with their doctor were 4x as likely to change their mind.

@AOC using her platform to spread disinformation intended to inflame emotions by scaring women in an election year.

Women can't be sued & rapists can't initiate a suit under SB8.
Here the law explicitly exempts women who choose abortion from being sued.
Here the law explicitly prohibits rapists from being able to initiate a lawsuit.

MARYLAND! The Pregnant Person's Freedom Act of 2022 decriminalizes perinatal deaths (after birth) by the mother. These deaths can't even be investigated. Perinatal time frame is not defined in this bill.

Senate Bill 669 - hearing 3/15 @ 1:00
Here it allows fetal homicide caused by someone other than a mother or medical personnel to continue to be prosecuted if the fetus was considered viable apart from their mom.
Here it clearly gives women complete authority over their child, to nurture or harm, during pregnancy.

Jesus commanded us to love one another as ourselves. Loving ourselves is a foundation for that. We are supposed to love God and love other people. We are supposed to share each other's burdens & celebrate each other's joys. That requires community. Reach out. We need each other.
I was just thinking of the loneliness pandemic. Japan has created a government ministry to address the issue. US stats aren't great. COVID didn't help. It's a tool of Satan to isolate us. We're stronger when we carry each other's burden. Celebrate each other's successes. Image

A thread on US maternal mortality rates, which are higher than other developed nations and higher for black women and higher for older women.

🧵

First, our numbers are higher than other nations because we collect information differently.
The CDC has a note that a change in the way data is collected increased our MMR numbers. We also collect data for a longer period of time post-partum than other countries.
Second, MMR is significantly higher for black women in the US.

One reason for that is significantly higher rates of heart disease.

49% of black women ages 20+ have heart disease, but many don't know. Heart disease is manageable but needs to be monitored during pregnancy.
