Ladies; Get Your Birth Control NOW While You Still Can

a reply to: windword

they wouldn't do a tubal litigation for a women with a brain tumor either, even when the doctor explained to them why it was better that her attending physician that was well informed about her condition deliver the baby, why it was far more beneficial that the tubal be done during the c-section instead of making her go through an operation, and why is was dangerous for her to get pregnant again.
and no, they don't provide any time of birth control....

Really nice to joke about the fact that there is care out there that is not part of Planned Parenthood. This is not about birth control or abortions. Those are health options as a woman. First and foremost it should be about the care of all women whether infant or in a nursing home.

How about we make it as simply as Planned Parenthood should not accept Medicaid or any other funds. There are other places for women to go. Plenty. Then, there would be no argument. Right? That would cost them 'half' of their funding though. They should find more private money and offer more free services. What would be wrong with that? They are not a government 'agency'.

What's joke, not funny, is having so little respect for women and their reproductive health care needs, that they would refer them to these lists that have been padded with the dentists, podiatrists, Salvation Army, elementary school nurses, pediatricians, correctional facilities, and religious facilities that would refuse their needs.

it appears that there isn't in louisiana or florida!! that is the point we are making.

a reply to: Lucid Lunacy

Trump has been appointing troubling staff members in the past few days. Some of them might already have this kind of view on birth control. I suppose it could happen. He is gearing up to move his agenda through congress at a fast pace.

The only other thing I have to say is that although Trump wants to overturn Roe v. Wade, he *would* leave the decision up to the states. That's probably not a good enough consolation prize...

More washington post...and oooh, slate...

Would you like to bring out vice, buzzfeed, and one of those awful gawker blogs, while you're at it?

It's all biased alarmist trash. these are the same asshats who have been slamming trump all along.

Do better.

a reply to: darkbake

It SHOULD be up to the states...as mandated by the constitution.

a reply to: Daedalus

I've cited Donald Trump's own words and campaign promises. The GOP's Platform. Mike Pence's own words and promises and the administration's published "Health Agenda", as well as corroborating professional and editorial opinions. Others have also contributed to this thread.

If you have something to add, citations, professional opinions, anecdotal information, please post it. Otherwise, your dismissal has been noted and your absence is requested.

Bugger off now, toodle loo!

a reply to: windword

lol.

You post alarmist crap, cite garbage sources, and when someone asks you for REAL citations, you whinge, and then imply they're a troll, and tell them to bugger off..

You're just salty because Clinton didn't win...get over it.

By the way...."bugger off" is the same as "fu*k off"...not very nice, and i'm pretty sure it's a violation of the ToS...

I wish the pro abortion crowd would spend the same amount of time on child hunger. Or even just the money.

a reply to: Daedalus

Well I wouldn't oppose it too much being up to the states, as long as out-of-state abortions were legal. But we are also talking about banning birth control which I think is an entirely different issue - birth control can be used to regulate menstrual cycles and when used with condoms, ensures safe sex. I don't think the states should have the power to take away birth control from women at all.

Ladies: Get your Birth Control NOW While You Still Can!

With Trump as president, students and professors fear less access to birth control

With just 63 days until President-elect Donald Trump’s inauguration, students on campus are preparing for what his administration might do. Chief among these concerns is access to contraception.

College junior Esther Cohen said that when Trump closed in on an electoral victory, her first concern was whether women would be able to retain access to birth control.

Women Seek Birth Control That Will Outlast The Trump Presidency

...Women are on the hunt for reversible birth control that could last through a Donald Trump presidency.

Tweets and Facebook posts about getting intrauterine devices, or IUDs, swept social media Wednesday as women warned each other that their access to birth control might dwindle once the President-elect takes office next year.

What could happen to birth control under President Trump?

IUD birth control targeted by anti-abortion Republican

You Can Still Sign Up For the ACA Until Jan 31 To get Birth Control Cvered!

Repealing the act is also a "high item on the list" for Trump's Republican colleagues, Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell said Wednesday. However, for now, enrollment will still be available through January 31.

TIPS FOR LADIES PREPARING FOR A TRUMP/PENCE AMERICA: -
stock up on Plan B, it has a long shelf life -
get an IUD while they're covered

a reply to: darkbake

Agreed. Regulate, yes...deny, absolutely not.

These things can still be harmful, if used incorrectly, so it can't be an "over the counter, no questions asked" affair....but a doctor should at least have a say in it.

Again, this is a state's rights issue, in conjunction with the question: "what is the proper role of government".

::yawn:: ::sigh::

a student newspaper, a pro-clinton journalist, an invalid URL, and Rachel f**king Maddow...

This is how your do better?

How about statements of intent, and direct quotations? Video, Audio, Text, direct from the horse's mouth...and not cherry-picked, and used out of context, either.. How about hard facts, and not paranoid speculations?

Unbiased information...factual information..

Why is it that critical thinking is such a rare thing around here?

a reply to: Daedalus

The government, whether it be a state to state determination or a national resolve, doesn't have a blanket right to search a woman's uterus and compel her actions, or non actions, based on it's contents, while presuming that those contents belong to them.

a reply to: Daedalus

The is a very real nationwide concern and immediate "clear and present danger" to women's health that's being addressed by diverse sources across the country. I've cited Donald Trump's own words, direct quotation and campaign promises, from "the horse's mouth. The GOP's Platform. Mike Pence's own words and promises, from the horse's mouth, and the administration's published "Health Agenda", as well as corroborating professional and editorial opinions. Others have also contributed their own viewpoints and sources throughout this thread.

If you have something to add, contrary citations, professional opinions, anecdotal information, please post it. Otherwise, your urge for public complacency, your condescending dismissal of women's concerns, fears and needs, has been noted.

Your deflective repetition adds nothing to the discussion and has become nothing more than trollery. It seems that (not so) deep down inside you're rooting for women to lose their reproductive rights, and using deflection hoping they complacently look the other while the deeds are done behind their back. There is no other explanation for your trollish posting behavior in this thread.

a reply to: Daedalus

and just who is responsible to ensure those state laws don't conflict with the rights of the people??
oh, ya, we are back to the supreme court, federal level.

people see the gov't using their tax money to help feed hungry children as unconstitutional....
why should I have to sacrifice any of my wealth so that child should live??
right???

Abortions defined as using instrument or medication with the intent to terminate a pregnancy (other than birth, to preserve a the baby’s live or remove dead fetus) are legal in South Carolina only under the following three circumstances:

In the first trimester with the pregnant woman’s consent
In the second trimester with the pregnant woman’s consent in a certified hospital or clinic
In the third trimester when necessary to preserve the life or health of the pregnant woman on the written recommendation of two doctors, and if the basis is mental health then both the two doctors and a consulting psychiatrist must agree in writing the abortion is necessary
Note this law says the husband’s consent is required in the third trimester, but spousal consent was found unconstitutional by the U.S. Supreme Court in 1976 and that can’t be enforced

this is the law in south carolina, as it is written on the books..
carefully, read what it says about the third trimester... and read the note at the end.
while conservatives don't think that you should have to sacrifice a small bit of your wealth to help feed that kid...
south carolina thinks that the women shouldn't have any say when it comes to weather or not she should risk her life or health.. if she decides she doesn't want to risk it, it still takes her husband's consent to keep from having to risk her life to bring that child they see as so offensive to have to contribute to feed into the world. your life is something which is constitutionally protected and in no other way is anyone legally expected to sacrifice their life for another person, the only example even close was the draft which no longer exists!.

There is always be options. Diaphragm and condoms in no way are abortifacients. Do you think they will outlaw sterilization surgeries, too?

I went natural (NFP) and planned when I wanted to have kids.

Don't think their aren't risks involved in other types of birth control.

a reply to: sad_eyed_lady

I think it's fine that those choices are available to men and women who want them. And, pro-life women are more than welcome to rely on them, as far as I'm concerned.

But I don't think that other viable choices should be removed from women and couples who want/need them. That will inevitably force an unwanted affect upon many of them, and their and families, all because of another's imposed religious beliefs.

Besides, if chastity, condoms, diaphragms and the rhythm method worked so well, there wouldn't be such a high percentage of the women having abortions identifying as Catholics.

Women who obtain abortion represent every religious affiliation. 43% of women obtaining abortion identify themselves as Protestant, and 27% as Catholic; and 13% of abortion patients describe themselves as born-again or Evangelical Christians.

Trumps wins and a college professors first thought is birth control? Bogus...

An abortion doctor on Trump’s win: ‘I fear for my life. I fear for my patients.’

But Trump’s election, combined with continuing control of the Congress by anti-abortion Republicans, ratchets up the threat to what we do to help women. It’s now higher than ever before. Trump can sign the most restrictive anti-abortion legislation with impunity. After he has replaced several sitting Supreme Court justices, Roe vs. Wade will be overturned, and we will all be at the mercy of even more conservative state legislatures.
