Fuck, not being able to trust your doctor because some bootlicker in a suit has passed (or is trying to) a law defining your body's natural processes as a potential murder case?

Fuck these fascist Republican scumbags.

[-] Skepticpunk@lemmy.world 25 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

If these fuckers get their way, I will, at some point, start seeing murder cases where the perpetrator is a woman and default to thinking that the charges are bullshit because of this.

To be fair, you could have the best doctor in the world. The second they enter those dates into the database with the rest of your notes it is out of their hands. The IT department will be responsible for handing over the data.

[-] LifeInMultipleChoice@lemmy.world 91 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

The IT department would never be responsible for handing over said data. Backing it up, making sure it was recoverable, sure. But IT would have no actions with such.

I assume it would be the HR department or the administrators

[-] Serinus@lemmy.world 30 points 1 year ago

Legal will tell the IT department to preserve it and hand it over.

The Democrats have had decades to ensure abortion access would be guaranteed, but they decided not to and allowed it to be overturned. Both parties were absolutely happy to do nothing and just raise funds over abortion, but the Republicans had to actually try to force a change.

If there is a pile of brushwood and gasoline containers next to my house, and my husband wants to light it on fire while my mother wants to keep it there, neither of those people is actually trying to make the situation better.

Interesting, the one who doesn't want to burn your house down is equal to the person who does want to burn your house down in your mind?

Neither one wants to do what you want so both are equally bad to you, what a shit take.

[-] BakerBagel@midwest.social 18 points 1 year ago

The solution is to remove the danger, or else your house willburn down sooner or later.

[-] nomous@lemmy.world 42 points 1 year ago

That's not an option you have right now.

The choice is between burning it down NOW or not.

I'm very curious about what the democrats were supposed to do to guarantee abortion access, perhaps you can clarify this for me. Were they supposed to pass a law that somehow would be immune to repeal from the next republican congress? Executive order? Amend the constitution? Some other form of legislative or executive magic I'm unfamiliar with?

And your analogy of a literal arsonist being the same as another person just keeping some resources handy is actually very interesting - because by extension, you think that democrats should anticipate and prevent all possible fire-starting the republicans might do, and when they don't, they're just as bad?

I tell every doctor "a few weeks ago" and then when they suggest a date I say yes. So every doctor has a different day lol. Hopefully that doesn't come back to bite me

[-] moistclump@lemmy.world 62 points 1 year ago

I thought you meant:

Doctor: “when was your last period?”

Me: “a few weeks ago.”

Doctor: “date?”

Me: yes

Doctor: great I’ll pick you up at 8

I hope you don't live in an abortion ban state, because that very well could come back to bite you

Bald eagle freedom screech intensifies.

[-] Karyoplasma@discuss.tchncs.de 54 points 1 year ago

Fun fact: the famous bald eagle freedom screech as we know it from the movies is not from an eagle, it's the scream of a red-tailed hawk.

Any woman who votes for the right at this point is voting for the handmaid’s tale. Ending no fault divorce, ending a woman’s right to choose, tracking women's periods, and the list goes on. The right is trying to roll back women’s rights little by little.

I like this N.J. way to talk to doctors: “don’t worry about it”, “it is what it is”, “who’s asking?”

This explains why people say healthcare in US is terrible

[-] CobblerScholar@lemmy.world 62 points 1 year ago

Calling it healthcare is starting to seem like more and more of a stretch every day

I'm so glad I got sterilized once the RvW info got leaked. I wish I could thank whomever leaked it. In my eyes, they're a hero.

I am Canadian and offered on my Facebook page to mail abortion pills to Americans, got IMMEDIATELY banned for 30 days, and was interviewed by Vice about that. Facebook is complicit.

Okay, not entirely educated on female menstruation person here.

Does the period cycle change or is it consistent over time? Like is it about tracking a woman’s pattern and if there’s a change… that’s the flag?

[-] Prunebutt@slrpnk.net 42 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

It's about the cycle stopping and then starting again, suggesting that the person was pregnant until she wasn't again.

[-] captainlezbian@lemmy.world 52 points 1 year ago

Exactly, and it’s not just about abortion. Well it is, but abortion isn’t the only cause. Miscarriages are common, and unfortunately these days miscarriages of fetuses and of justice go hand in hand.

To add what prune said, it can be some what inconsistent. Women aren’t robots.

My ex had periods that were frequently +- a week or so, and my current GF is regular enough to freak out over a couple days.

There’s also things that can cause skipped periods that have nothing to do with pregnancy- intensive physical training or stress.

Use AI to identify republicans based on their data, institute shadow bans and silent monetary fines wherever they go outside of their fascist states, and use the fines to finance reproductive health options for the women in their states. Watch the depends diapers fly.

[-] UnderpantsWeevil@lemmy.world 18 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

Its funny, because you basically described the Silicon Valley plan to do fascism in San Fransisco

The idea of the Network State is one in which The Grays - a cabal of tech industry insiders - wage war against The Blues - California liberal democrats - by freezing them out of domestic infrastructure.

The macro task is to take back the city. The micro task, or the meso-task, is to take back individual streets and buildings and clearly mark them as under Gray control ... For example, if you had Gray owners of every single building in San Francisco or even every single building on a block, you could set it up such that the Gray login will get you into the building. I mean, this already kind of happens. You have to swipe your key card to come in because the streets are so dangerous. Like near Twitter HQ, for example, that you'd like or run inside and you swipe your key card and you go up the elevator or whatever. Sometimes I've seen people do that. So that's already something that exists but the difference is you'd network it between buildings. And you have something of a Gray tribe membership gets you into the buildings, gets you into certain floors. That is already legal and already practical, under current law. Okay, so that's good, where you have a foothold of private property. And you have a group membership of Gray tribe membership and private property. You also issue T-shirts, and T-shirts are, let's say, the similar Gray color and it's just got different logos and patches on it.

Take total control of your neighborhood. Push out all Blues. Tell them they're as unwelcome as ... just as Blues ethnically cleanse me out of San Francisco, push out all blues. And then you'll easily win.

...

Reds should be welcomed there and people should wear their tribal colors. No Blues should be welcomed there. And in addition to celebrating celebrating Gray and celebrating Red, you should have movies shown about Blue abuses. For example, there's this guy who's addicted to drugs, who was addicted to drugs he posts on Twitter about how the Blue government helped him get addicted to drugs. You should have an interview with him. There should be lots of stories about what Blues are doing that is bad.

...

Elon, in sort of classic Gray fashion ... captures Twitter and then, at one stroke, wipes out millions of Blues' status by wiping out the Blue Checks and, another stroke, you know, where it does cause some damage, renames Twitter as X, showing that he has true control, and it's his vehicle, and that the old regime isn't going to be restored.
