Summary
The Trump administration launched attacks on abortion rights by dropping a case defending emergency abortions in Idaho and instead seeking to join a Supreme Court case backing South Carolina’s block on Medicaid funds for Planned Parenthood.
Critics argue these actions threaten reproductive rights, despite Trump’s past pledges not to interfere. Idaho hospitals have reported delays in emergency care due to the state’s near-total abortion ban.
Pro-choice advocates warn these moves could further erode abortion access and endanger women’s lives.
Conservative leaders praise Trump’s support for state-level abortion restrictions.
Leaving aside wanting kids at a different time, most of these places won’t let women get elective tube tying or hysterectomy (vasectomy being for those with a penis) without jumping through a ton of hoops.
Even in fairly sensible states and for egg freezing, they may want you to jump through hoops.
As part of the process my significant other apparently had to either tell them I didn’t exist, or they’d want to talk to me for permission to freeze her eggs. Even if we were married, they’re her eggs not mine. It’s completely inappropriate to need to talk to me.
