Mexico when Texans have to start crossing the border for a better life good heathcare

#this meme requires some suspension of disbelief because people were already going to Mexico for their heathcare prior to this event #this is part of a phenomenon called medical tourism #which exists in part because its cheeper for someone who is in need of medical care in the US #to book a flight to another country #receive medical care in that country #and travel back #than it is for them to receive medical care in the US #anyway #great job #mexico #reproductive rights #abortion

if u are in the state of california, or can get to the state of california, you can get abortion on demand for absolutely free by doing this

go to a hospital listed under the "qualified provider" list here: https://www.dhcs.ca.gov/services/medi-cal/eligibility/Pages/HospitalPE.aspx

ask for HPE

no information needs to be verified. you can lie and you will not get in any trouble, EVER. say your income is less than $1k a month. you do not need to give a SSN but do not comment on your immigration status. i recommend you don't mention you're pregnant even if you are, but if you do tell them you're pregnant, you'll still be able to access abortion care (it's just that it limits other non-abortion services available to you - it's complicated). if you're just visiting california, say that you're a resident (NOT visiting). give an in-state home address. (this will not be verified. give any address as long as it's in-state. could be a hotel or a liquor store or anything)

you will get immediate medi-cal coverage for the rest of the month you're in and the month following. (for example, if you applied today, june 24, you would get coverage from today to july 31).

note that this is fee for service medi-cal. this means you are not enrolled in a managed care plan

find a fee for service provider who provides abortions (check your county website, but you can also refer here: https://data.ca.gov/dataset/enrolled-medi-cal-fee-for-service-provider). most planned parenthood locations accept fee for service medi-cal, but check before you go

if you run out of time (i highly recommend you know EXACTLY where you're going to go and verify that you can get an appointment within 60 days before you get coverage at a hospital), it is possible to get coverage again through this process by using a DIFFERENT NAME AND DOB. that is crucial. you will be denied if you don't. **note: if the hospital, or the provider afterwards, asks for your ID to verify name and dob, tell them you don't have one. they are required to go to "reasonable efforts" to verify that you're the person you say you are, but they cannot deny you service for not having an ID.**

just be sure that whatever name and DOB is on your eligibility document (the hospital will give this to you when you apply), that is the name and DOB you give the provider

i know this isn't super helpful as californians are not the ones at risk here; but if someone from out of state can get to california, then you can get an abortion without having to pay for it

#abortion #this is literally instructions on how to get a medical abortion in the state of california for 100% free with no copay no matter what #i know that we've been talking about programs to help people get to CA for abortion access too #i literally manage pregnancy medicaid programs in CA so if u have questions ask me #ok to reblog and ENCOURAGED to steal this information and repost cuz i may one day delete this (like for instnace if my job finds out lmao)

going into manner of death you may think this is a show about an adult man with an adult job (performing autopsies on his childhood friends), but the further you get, the more clear it becomes that this is actually a show about an adult man with way too many adult jobs (he also treats patients in the ER, gets called in for emergency surgery, and juggles several potentially connected murder investigations as an unpaid side gig). no wonder literally every single person around him keeps randomly handing him food, even though we know he's a good cook. with only twenty-four hours in a day, it's a miracle he even finds the time to be weird and domestic with his prime murder suspect and their pet cactus

#the only medical job he doesn't seem to take on is running the illegal abortion clinic in town #and it sort of feels like that's mostly because he hasn't been back long and didn't know it existed. i believe in you dr. bun #given a little time to settle in you could be cool enough to offer illegal abortions too!! #* #manner of death #anyway. loved this one! it got a touch insane and hard to follow in that final episode but i deeply appreciate what it was trying to do

Cis men will never have to worry about being forced to keep a pregnancy and give birth to a child against their will. Trans men do.

This literally does not apply to all trans men at all. This is not a worry I have ever had in my life as a trans man. Stop trying to find things that separate us because there is nothing that unites all trans men or all cis men except the fact that they are men.

#ask #anon #with this ask you are excluding every single trans man who is infertile #every single trans man who has gotten medical procedures to make him infertile #and also every single trans man who doesn't live in a country that prevents him from getting an abortion #that's a lot of men who aren't cis who don't have this worry!

"Bria Peacock chose a career in medicine because the Black Georgia native saw the dire health needs in her community — including access to abortion care.

Her commitment to becoming a maternal health care provider was sparked early on when she witnessed the discrimination and judgment leveled against her older sister, who became a mother as a teen. When the Supreme Court overturned Roe v. Wade in 2022, Peacock was already in her residency program in California, and her thoughts turned back to women like her sister.

“I knew that the people — my people, my community back home — was going to be affected in a dramatic way, because they’re in the South and because they’re Black,” she said.

But even though Peacock attended the Medical College of Georgia, she’s doing her obstetrics and gynecology residency at the University of California-San Francisco, where she has gotten comprehensive training in abortion care.

“I knew as a trainee that’s what I needed,” said Peacock, who plans to return to her home state after her residency.

Ever since the Supreme Court decision, California has worked to become a sanctuary for people from states where abortion is restricted. In doing so, it joins 14 other states, including Colorado, New Mexico, and Massachusetts. Now, it’s addressing the fraught issue of abortion training for medical residents, which most doctors believe is crucial to comprehensive OB-GYN training.

A law enacted in September [2023] makes it easier for out-of-state trainees to get up to 90 days of in-person training under the supervision of a California-licensed doctor. The law eliminated the requirement for a training license and also permitted training at programs such as Planned Parenthood that are affiliated with accredited medical schools.

“By allowing physician residents to come to California, where there are more opportunities for abortion training, and by allowing them to be reimbursed for this work, we’re sending a message that abortion care is health care and an essential part of physician training,” said Lisa Folberg, CEO of the California Academy of Family Physicians, which supported the bill.

The question of how to provide complete OB-GYN training promises to become more urgent as the effects of abortion bans on medical education becomes clear: 18 states restrict or ban abortion to the point of effectively stripping 20% of OB-GYN medical residents of the opportunity to get abortion training, according to the Ryan Residency Training Program in Abortion and Family Planning. That’s 1,354 residents this year out of 5,962 OB-GYN residents nationwide.

The restrictions in some cases aim to reach beyond state borders, spooking medical students and residents who fear hostility from anti-abortion groups and right-wing legislators...

Pamela Merritt, executive director of Medical Students for Choice, pointed to a Kansas law that requires repayment of state medical school scholarships — with 15% interest — if residents perform abortions or work in clinics that perform them, except in cases of rape, incest, or a medical emergency.

Doctors point out that abortion training is not just about ending pregnancies. Peacock recalled a patient who started hemorrhaging badly shortly after a healthy delivery. Peacock and her team at UCSF performed a dilation and curettage — a procedure commonly used to terminate pregnancy.

“If we did not have that skill set, and the patient continued to bleed, it could have been life-taking,” said Peacock, chief OB-GYN resident at UCSF...

Peacock, for her part, is adamant about returning to Georgia, where abortions are banned after six weeks. “I’m still going to provide abortions, whether that’s in Georgia or I need to fly to a different state and work in abortion clinics for a week out of the month,” she said. “It would definitely be a big part of my work.”"

The treatment for a missed miscarriage, a miscarriage where the fetus has died but the body hasn’t realised, is abortion. Either through surgery or medication. 

I was told at my 12 week ultrasound that my baby had died 4 weeks before. I have dreamed of becoming a parent for my whole life. Those few weeks I was pregnant were the happiest of my life but the second I knew my baby had died, I felt like the living embodiment of death. I felt like a walking coffin, distinctly inhuman. Dirty down to my very soul.

I was desperate to get the beautiful child I had wished for so dearly out of my body. The 24 hours between my ultrasound and being given abortion medication were some of the hardest of my life. Abortion is healthcare. I cannot even imagine being forced to carry my baby for another moment. I also can’t imagine being forced to carry a fetus, which you do not wish to. To take that right away is disgusting and demonstrates how truly little these people know about the reality of reproductive healthcare. Pro choice always.

Sophie asked if they could help her daughter, but the doctors said at this age there was nothing to be done. They said that if she did survive because of medical intervention she ran the risk of being disabled. And though Sophie argued that other babies born at 22 weeks had survived and thrived, the doctor told her not to believe what she read on the internet.

I talk a lot about medical malpractice involving pro-choice doctors mismanaging miscarriages because of their politics about pro-life laws. The other side of the fence? Also pro-choice doctors mismanaging preterm birth and lying to their patients over ableist attitudes.

Baby killing isn’t medicine. It never will be, and the longer you ignore injustice against unborn babies and their mothers, the longer it will take to make real changes for both.

Instead of forcing women to go through extreme physical, psychological, hormonal, societal & economical changes against their will, start …

1.) holding men accountable for causing unwanted pregnancies.

2.) creating a better society which doesn’t systematically disadvantage and harm pregnant women & mothers.

3.) creating a society in which pregnant women‘s & mothers financial independence, careers and freedom aren’t limited.

4.) improving the medical system and the knowledge of women‘s anatomy & specific medical needs so every woman has access to the best treatment possible.

5.) eliminating medical abuse and medical neglect.

6.) funding EVERY treatment/support a pregnant woman and mother might need or want to feel as good & healthy as possible (recovery MUST be a priority).

7.) challenging societal expectations and judgement regarding pregnancy, mothers and motherhood.

8.) providing actually informative and female-centered sex ED.

9.) providing free & accessible birth control.

10.) and if you‘re really THAT ignorant and "pro-life", start making vasectomies mandatory.

Think before you Sleep is a great Youtuber, super worth watching. Anyways, the crybully he was critiquing in the video got buttmad on her 'vacation' and decided to tell her audience to mass flag him.

She's hidden the original ask from what I can tell, but gloats about it on this one.

Her 'main thing' was she advised people not to watch his stuff, so I'll help promote him. Love this dude and his ability to actually CITATE PROPERLY.

Via The New York Times, the image above is a screenshot of a map which shows abortion bans in the United States, as of 8/23/23.

South Carolina’s new all-male Supreme Court reversed course on abortion on Wednesday, upholding a ban on most such procedures after about six weeks of pregnancy.

The 4-1 ruling departs from the court’s own decision earlier this year to strike down a similar law.

Earlier this year, South Carolina became the only state in the country with an entirely male state Supreme Court; after the only woman on the court was forced into retirement due to her age, our state legislature and governor went into a special overtime session in order to pass a new anti-abortion law, knowing that any further legal challenges would be unsuccessful.

As of today that ban is in effect; people waiting to have abortion procedures this morning were sent home from clinics after the ruling came out.

This is a loss not only for the millions of people living in this state who will now be denied healthcare and their own bodily autonomy, but also for thousands of others who might not be able to travel here from out of state to access care anymore.

We can also be certain that they aren't done; attempts at a total ban will come next, and after that we can be sure that gender affirming care bans and further legal oppression of trans youth will take center stage once again. (I say further, because the sports ban for trans youth is already law, and most people have already forgotten about it.)

The cruelty is the point.

Can everyone PLEASE leave Illymation tf alone?

"She used clickbait in her video" UM in some states they stupidly classify removing tumors from your uterus as an abortion because they're "living and growing" EVEN IF THEY ARE DANGEROUS.

Somebody made a video tearing apart her Being the Fat Kid video and even stooped low to the point of making fun of her posture, clothes, skin, and glasses. Idfc if you are doing it in the name of being "health conscientious," you don't insult people's appearance, especially if it's not related to the topic at hand. And yes she takes selfies of herself with fast food, but that's not the ONLY food she eats and her drawing herself with Frosted Flakes and the end title with various food that's not 100 percent healthy. It's a cartoon she's not actually eating that.

Also, her videos aren't aimed at kids that's just her artstyle, moreso 13+. You're assuming all cartoons are for kids based on her style.

And your reaction to her responding how one would normally reply to this is to call her a crybully.

Do you research and grow tf up people.

#im done #venting a tad #okay more than a tad #shut up kelly #illymation #but seriously #also saw in her tag someone saying someone else was better than her and calling her boring? ummm...dont put that in her tag please? #bullying #harassment #food mention #abortion #medical #disrespectful comments or tags will be blocked #this situation has gotten so out of hand wtf

God, I hate Republicans.

If you are at all able to, please stock up and take any & all necessary precautions to protect your own bodily autonomy or that of loved ones, before the John Roberts Court rubber stamps another Christofascist anti-abortion law into effect.
