Tara Rule says her doctor in upstate New York was “determined to protect a hypothetical fetus" instead of helping her treat debilitating pain.

    tw: sexual violence, forced birth

    spoiler

    Soon they’ll tying people down to tables, assaulting people, and forcing them to give birth. Fascism is in full swing and is only going to accelerate from here. Constant grown and the insatiable thirst for power means that the rich and powerful demand babies to turn into coerced workers. More and more people are going to be forced to become pregnant and give birth. These horrors are going to be more and more normalized. This isn’t ok.

      Getting? They control half the Senate and have a super majority in the supreme court.

        SCOTUS is also bizarrely specifically a Catholic majority, despite being less than 1/4th of the US population.

    She’s long struggled to find helpful treatments and said the neurologist wouldn’t even give her the name of the medication he referenced because, Rule said, “he was so determined to protect a hypothetical fetus.”

    That’s pretty weird.

    It’s all about turning women into property that can be controlled.

    Rule’s case shows how the notion of fetal personhood—an ideology that regards embryos as separate people with rights at odds with the pregnant person’s—can be taken even further, said Dana Sussman, deputy executive director at Pregnancy Justice (which isn’t working on Rule’s case). “What we’re seeing is how this ideology can extend beyond pregnancy itself—the idea that if you can even become pregnant, then you can no longer make decisions about your own body or access medical care,” Sussman told Jezebel.

        that website started with cookie bullshit, wants me to download an app and then makes me click a link to see the article but starts with ads of other ‘content’

        it also doesn’t really format the actual article separately and I read part of their bullshit at end

        god damn mobile internet is shit without adblock

          If it makes you feel better getting rid of the ads doesn’t make it work better on desktop either.
