My wife was denied medical care in Texas because she might be pregnant. There was no reason to think she might be, but they still wouldn't perform her mammogram, which was scheduled to follow up on a lump she found.
She ended up taking a pregnancy test in a Whataburger bathroom near the doctor's office. That's the state of medical care in Texas for women.
How does a mammogram affect a pregnancy anyway?
babies are stored in the breasts
It most likely doesn't. One of several reasons it was so fucked up.
X-rays
The lump could have been a hatching baby
What's the point in even becoming a doctor if they're going to be that pathetic. How would performing a monogram have any bearing on a pregnancy?

I don't think the doctors are writing these policies mate.
You'd think a medical facility that makes treatment decisions based on just the possibility that a woman is pregnant would also have some means of testing for that. Do they just refuse to touch women unless they bring their own pregnancy test in for the appointment? Having to go pee on a stick in the bathroom of a fast food restaurant is appalling.
“I wasn’t allowed to choose me? Where’s the pro-life in that?”
That is literally what they voted for. They actually voted for the mother not to be allowed to have a choice in the matter.
This is what single digit IQ looks like folks.
I wasn’t allowed to choose me?
Look who suddenly understands "Pro-choice"
“I wasn’t allowed to choose me? Where’s the pro-life in that?”
Her community, her family, her school, her state, and our shared society failed this woman. That is some bottom tier comprehension and critical thinking that has to cultivated by basically everyone in her life.
Took me a few tries to get past the fact it wasn't a satire.
Excellent opportunity to remind everyone of this classic of feminist writing: “The Only Moral Abortion is My Abortion” - When the Anti-Choice Choose, by Joyce Arthur.
Loved that one, recommend everyone to read it through at least once.
The lady telling the nurse "you're going to hell for this you know" while she's on the GOD DAMN TABLE getting herself an abortion is absolutely wild. I honestly can't see how any of these people can be reasoned with.
Because they're the 🌟special ones🌟, who are getting an express ticket to heaven no matter how they behave. Being a hypocrite is their core belief.
Are we not allowed to say "died" anymore?
I hate the word police, the grammar nazis were better.
I don't think it's so much a "policing" thing as a side effect of other platforms whose algorithms will avoid boosting certain sensitive topics. People do stuff like this to bypass it and then other people see it happening and think that's just what you're supposed to do.
Really feel like you should be able to edit the title if it does something stupid like censors the word died.
“I wasn’t allowed to choose me? Where’s the pro-life in that?”
That's literally pro-choice, dawg. "Pro-life" is literally pro-birth even for a non-viable fetus at your own expense.
Pro-life isn't pro-birth, it's forced-birth. It's "I will strap you down to a table against your will and watch you die, if I have to, to make sure it happens."
Not even death can save you from me
-Diablo, Diablo2; the republican party
Sorry what is D!ed? My english isn't that well...
Died. I'm not sure why it's censored.
Leopard just savouring this with a Dom Perignon '64.
So cool we have headlines censoring died now. Though some random Iowa lady getting the care she voted for isn’t exactly news I suppose
Engagement bait
What kind of shitty ass news website censors the word died? Shit needs to be blacklisted.
It seems to be basically a blog, run by one woman who calls herself an "independent journalist."
The "article" has gems like this:
For years, Djukanovic proudly stood with the Leopard Party, cheering on their platform of “protecting the unborn” and “getting the government out of our lives” (while simultaneously putting the government into everyone’s doctors’ offices). However, the celebratory mood shifted last month when a Leopard walked into her own living room and began sizing up her forehead.
That’s some beautiful prose.
"Trump voter is malicious idiot until own face eaten"
This is not news.
Often still after having their face eaten
In truth that jackass probably had no idea what any of it meant until it applied to her.
This is the problem with these people. This won't lead to some epiphany because they still refuse to accept that they actually voted for this.
She didn't actually bother to read any of the flyers and just came up with her own interpretation of what was being promised. Then voted for that imagined reality.
Every conservative voter ever. And to make matters worse, they'd probably say there should be an exception for them but other women in an identical condition should have to risk death.
Critical thinking and empathy are both foreign concepts to them.
Sure she did. ‘Conservatism consists of exactly one proposition, to wit: There must be in-groups whom the law protects but does not bind, alongside out-groups whom the law binds but does not protect.’
Her misunderstanding was in not realizing which group she was in. She thought those laws applied to those other people, not her.
As a general rule conservatives can't imagine how horrible a situation is until it applies to them. This is why empathy should be taught in school.
Thoughts and prayers:
Thought: I think she is quite stupid.
Prayer: May she suffer from her life choices, and then rot in hell.
She’s getting what she voted for. It’s a Christmas miracle. I’m happy for her
Haha. Michele Stills might suddenly be my new favorite editorialist. This was quite an amusing and incisive read.
Don't get me wrong, my heart goes out to these folks (despite their obstinate stupidity) because no one should have to suffer the trauma and anguish they've gone through. But assuming the coverage is accurate, they've 100% supported the abuse all along, and that's pretty fucked up.
EDIT: Also I don't see the supposed censorship people are claiming. The victim here was quoted as saying "I almost died" and it also includes the word "dying" so it seems fine to me. But I load this shit in Firefox Focus with an ad-blocking VPN so YMMV.

The headline says "d!ed." With an exclamation point instead of an i.
Absolutely zero sympathy and both of them can piss in the wind. Stupid fucks.
~~Really~~ Almost makes me wish she had.
What a cunt.
