"They don't put pretty people like me in jail". That didn't work for Elizabeth Holmes, Ivanka.

Too much agency. They might be used to make an independent choice by nefarious potential host bodies, so best they don’t allow us to make thinkings with our lady brains all on our own! They fail to account for all the people who take them for all the other reasons aside from pregnancy, as they do with all their abusive approaches. The anger from peri menopausal women alone will be enough to put the fear in them. They just aren’t expecting it.

I met Jimmy Carter, so I guess that's one.

German doctors administered fatal injections to the mentally ill and handicapped as part of the T4 program. Those useless eaters weren't going to be any benefit to a war economy, donchya know.

I think doctors should just do what they need to do (in medical emergencies) and let the state try to take action against them, medical civil disobedience if you will, but I also know that’s a really easy thing to think when I’m not the one in danger of losing my license or going to prison.

Just to clarify: The American College of Pediatrics is a professional association of 67,000 doctors.The American College of Pediatricians is a dissemblingly-named group of a few hundred loons and bigots in white coats.

My daughter did this as well in August, it took meeting with three different doctors but eventually she got it scheduled and done. The doc who ended up doing the surgery told her afterwards that she had a massive amount of scarring around her fallopian tubes and would have been at high risk for ectopic pregnancy if she had even been able to become pregnant.

They never paid my dad, who had been a cop in his little town for 30 years.

Funny thing was that every Christmas, the pastors would give my dad a fifth of some nice booze to "thank" him for directing traffic in front of their churches every Sunday. But he didn't drink. (Though at least we drank some mighty fine liquor after his funeral.)

Huh. Here in Austin, churches pay the cops who direct traffic, and synagogues pay the cops who keep white or black supremacists from murdering us.

I'm sure this seems reasonable to her. She's got two perfectly good brothers they can put through the ringer.
