It is notoriously hard to get anything approved by Disability.<br /><br />I listened to a male acquaintance of mine go on and on and on about how an ex of his had had an abortion (also of his), and he didn't think it was fair women could do that without the man having any recourse, and I finally turned to him and said, "Look, as soon as we have the technology to take the pregnancy out of her body and put it into yours, I'll agree with you, but I don't think you'd be so gung ho about the 'baybee' if you had to be the one to gestate and birth it, now would you?"<br /><br />He doesn't talk to me anymore.PersonalFailurehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03034292023591747601noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1334761054277672365.post-68866153941148009892011-03-31T16:28:22.501-04:002011-03-31T16:28:22.501-04:00i think i was able to read the whole thing, becaus...i think i was able to read the whole thing, because i'm insulated by the fact that A) i'm so tired i can't sleep, and B) i had my social security hearing today. [and got a "positive determination! after being told by my lawyer that i probably WOULDN'T get ANY determination today. and it's backdated to october of 08. so YAY and i'm in a positive frame of mind for once.<br />or WAS]<br /><br /><br />she kept going on and on and ON about "women of color, poor women, and recent immigrants". because these are the women who tend to have the most abortions [as a group, not individually] and she seems to think that they're having abortions because they don't have a CHOICE. because all those hoops aren't there, i guess - like, she seems to really truly believe the narrative that obtaining an abortion is easier than obtaining a flu vaccine.<br />because she does totally miss the point about the hoops - i mean, she DOEA point out that 87% of counties don't have access, but she blatantly states that this is ONLY because of "market forces" and IGNORES all the bullshit that local and state governments pull to make clinics impossible [the ones you point out, and more].<br />she states that abortion training doesn't happen often because "doctors don't want too" - and she says it's because they're anti-abortion, as opposed to, i don't know, <i>afraid of being assassainated</i>.<br />she babbles a bit about Catholic hospitals and all the care they provide, saying that that care should be federally funded despite their stance on abortion - <i>when it isn't abortion that prevents federal funding</i>. it's birth control.<br />then again, i'm pretty positive that she thinks that the "conscience clauses" about BC are good and perfect, too. deny women BC, then deny them abortions, and giggle as their lives are destroyed - because they don't matter even a hundreth as much as the POTENTIAL life they MAY have [i mean, at LEAST 1/4 pregnancies end in miscarriage - we can't even know the real number because so many happen before a woman knows she's pregnant!]<br /><br />she goes on and fucking ON about how doctors and nurses shouldn't be "forced" to do something "against their conscience" - but i'll say to THEM what they [effectively] say to US - you don't want to deal in abortion, <i>don't train for a job where it might be required</i>. be a fucking PODIATRIST, i don't know, but stop flooding into the OB/GYN field and then throwing a fucking fit when you're asked to do something *IN* that field.<br /><br />as a side note - the hospital that would have let me die, when i was pregnant and dying, was a Catholic hospital. the doc was all ready to do it - if my asshole psychotic pathological liar then-boyfriend hadn't gone and complained, he would have done it there in the ER, because i was *dying*, and even a Catholic hospital can't say "no" to a dying patient.<br />except, apparantly, if the "father" complains about the "loss" of "his" child - AFTER the doctor explained that i'd live another 48 if a MIRACLE happened, and i was 11 weeks along, and there <i>never be any baby</i>.<br /><br />so, i'm NOT for giving the fucking fundies even MORE ammo to use against women, in the form of yet ANOTHER "conscience clause" that means they'll turn away dying women because they're "pro-life" - it's not as if abortions happen in hospitals OUTSIDE of life-or-death emergencies, anyway.denelianhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08083149213773118359noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1334761054277672365.post-24448140408793270442011-03-31T14:22:35.204-04:002011-03-31T14:22:35.204-04:00One of the more disturbing conclusions that you ca...One of the more disturbing conclusions that you can reach from this kind of rhetoric is that the writer believes that pregnancy is something done to a woman-- by which I mean to say that pregnancy is not actual work and danger for women, but something done to her, not by her. It reflects the sperm magic thinking that Amanda Marcotte has written about over at pandagon. It's creepy and hugely erasing-- it's like telling a man that work is something done to him, not something he does.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1334761054277672365.post-49554853635427213162011-03-31T13:36:47.164-04:002011-03-31T13:36:47.164-04:00Well said.Well said.Boganettehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07253374355820020132noreply@blogger.com
