quixylvre: otherpens: zinge: motherbychoice: sale-aholic: Republican men want women to limit Birth Control, not have Abortions but don’t understand why men should help to pay for Prenatal Care? GOP is not really “pro life”. *Republican men want to control women and make life harder for everyone. * And these are the same fuckers who think women (because lbr, they’re transphobic as hell) should have to get male permission to abort (at least until they can ‘eliminate’ the option completely). So they want ‘men’ to be able to decide what happens to ‘women’s’ bodies but they don’t think ‘men’ should have to offer any financial assistance (not even to the extent of it being a covered service on insurance). They’re fucking nasty, honestly. That’s right. Conservatives now want to stop insurence coverage for prenatal care. That’s correct. They want to make it even more expensive to have a baby than it already is. This is making that $500 out-of-pocket abortion look like a great deal by comparison. Visits, vitamins, ultrasounds, medication switches, etc. What? They also took away your affordable birth control? Don’t have sex! Didn’t gave good sex ed and you got pregnant? Don’t have an abortion! Have the baby! What now? Can’t pay out of pocket for that? Don’t get pregnant in the first place, duh! Like this is getting seriously ridiculous now. They are trying to make it impossible for anyone who isn’t at least upper middle class to have sex or god forbid, try to have a baby. This is trying to stop the poor from having kids at all. Where are all the pro-lifers speaking out against this? I’ll wait. “I had a patient…who really did not want an abortion but who had no resources to cover the costs of prenatal care of childbirth. She was single and without insurance coverage but made just enough money to be ineligible for state assistance. She already had outstanding bills at the hospital and with the local ob-gyn practice. No doctor would see her without a payment up front. We were willing to do the abortion for a reduced rate or for free if necessary. But she really didn’t want an abortion. Once I understood her situation, I went to the phone and called the local ‘crisis pregnancy center.” “Hello, this is Dr. Wicklund.”Dead silence. I might as well have said I was Satan.“Hello?” I said again. “This is Dr. Wicklund.”“Hello,” very tentatively, followed by another long silence.“I need help with a patient,” I said. “She came to me for an abortion, but she really doesn’t want one. What she really needs is someone to do her prenatal care and birth for free.”“What do you expect us to do?”I let that hang for a minute.“Well, maybe this is your chance to save a baby. Isn’t that your mission? Here you are. My suggestion is that you find her the care she needs, or she will be forced to have an abortion.”“But no one does free prenatal care and births.”“What about Dr. Abott? He is always publicly preaching about the evils of abortion. Why don’t you call him and see if he’ll put his money where his mouth is? Tell him I am willing to do the abortion for free, but it won’t be necessary if he can match my offer.”In this case, it worked. Dr. Abott provided her prenatal care and birth without charge, although he reminded her of his noble gesture at every visit. The young woman came by several times to let us know how things were going. “He always moans about being tricked into the deal,” she told us. “Then he goes off on these tirades against abortion.””- from Dr. Susan Wicklund’s This Common Secret Conservatives’ entire GOAL is genocide of the poor -- source link
