In Ohio, doctors have worked to pass a ballot measure that enshrined reproductive rights into the state’s constitution. In Texas, they’ve battled in court over a narrow exception to the state’s abortion ban.

At least six Democratic doctors are running for competitive House seats this year, seizing on voters’ concerns about reproductive health and high health care costs.

    Excellent. We need more people with scientific backgrounds in government.

    That said, we’ve had some spectacularly bad Republican medical practitioners in offices, so I would prefer more chemists, physicists and the like.

        I think there is something to be said for having those experts make the actual decisions too.

      Molecular biologists. I want to eat sweet chili pepper and hot tomato. Right now they are banned.

            They aren’t gmo and fuck off with your anti eco bullshit. They’re just a type of chile. You see them around. Hell bell peppers fit this description as well

            I’m not anti gmo, but “eco activists hate x” dude, call them anti gmo activists.

              They aren’t gmo

              That’s what I said. But if biologists will do exactly same with GE, then soon anti-gmo activists will flock.
