Modern US conservative policy isn’t a complex question. The answer is always money or sadism.

Ok, then in certain circumstances your disgust response that directly contradicts the evidence may result in a lower chance of your survival. Your body, your call. I wholeheartedly support your right to refuse care. I, however, am rather fond of living and will use whatever medical intervention works best.

Leeches are still used, and are very effective in some cases. It’s ok to be grossed out by medicine. That doesn’t mean it’s outdated or shouldn’t exist.

One in five reported. The other 4/5 probably don’t want to talk about it.

I meant in any given case. You’re absolutely right, it has. And I’m so sorry.

So, is there any reason there’s debate about this other than bitterness and misogyny? Sounds like no serious scientific body accepts this as a thing, and it has the potential to enable child abuse.

They’re rich, but it also makes them stand out, gets them extra headlines.

What are they afraid of? Country matters? Nothing?

People hate exercise, too. Not doing it will shorten their lives, but they hate it.

They can open a pdf, or their Legislative Assistants can. That stuff is performative, making sure we don’t expect them to regulate huge corporations because they’re so incompetent. This is the stuff they’re interested in regulating, so they do.

The key is defining terms like “false” and “violent.”

Let’s not mince words. Pro-gestational slavery.

1869 at the latest (Texas v. White)

Wow. Thank you. Sorry if I was less-than-polite, this stuff really fucks me up.

Specifically in this case, they want people they perceive as women (any human with a working uterus) to suffer so they are easier to control. I worry that your phrasing erases the sex-based violence part of this. Fascists are coming for most of us in one way or another, but this particular front is about controlling people they see as women. My husband (a cis dude) didn’t have to get parts of his body removed to have full citizenship rights; I did.

Maybe? Got any cheese or good books?

It’s harder to get people to return to the 1950s if they’re haunted by the realities of the 1850s. Best teach them everything was hunky-dory.

The only fully accurate term is pro-gestational-slavery.

Funny how guys like this “believe life begins at conception” but never go after IVF, despite the number of fertilized eggs destroyed by fertility clinics each year, but they’ll happily force gestating parents to carry dead babies to term. It’s like it’s all about enslaving women (with other gestating parents as collateral damage because conservatives believe they’re women), or something…
