The House on Friday (click here) passed legislation that would protect access to reproductive health care, including the ability to travel across state lines for an abortion, as part of Democrats’ efforts to minimize the consequences of the Supreme Court overturning Roe v. Wade last month.
One bill, the Women’s Health Protection Act, would enshrine the protections of Roe v. Wade into law. The House already passed the bill last year, but it failed to advance in a Senate vote in May. The House passed the bill, 219-210, prompting applause from Democrats in the chamber. All Republicans and Rep. Henry Cuellar (D-Tex.) voted against the measure.
Another bill, the Ensuring Women’s Right to Reproductive Freedom Act, would reaffirm the right for someone seeking an abortion to travel freely across state lines. The House passed that measure, 223-205, with three Republicans — Adam Kinzinger (Ill.), Fred Upton (Mich.) and Brian Fitzpatrick (Pa.) — joining all Democrats in backing the bill....
She states that an abortion procedure on a 10 year old child is not an abortion but a medical procedure. Where is the legislature then? Where are the Republicans pumping out MEDICAL PROCEDURES? What abortion is NOT a medical procedure?
This is exactly the problem with politicizing a medical procedure. The right wing is going to change the meaning of medical terminology now. There is an abortion and there is a medical procedure that is the termination of a pregnancy after, accompanied by, resulting in, or closely followed by the death of the embryo or fetus: (click here)
This is the Mayo Clinic definition of abortion (click here)
Medical abortion is a procedure that uses medication to end a pregnancy. A medical abortion doesn't require surgery or anesthesia and can be started either in a medical office or at home with follow-up visits to your doctor. It's safer and most effective during the first trimester of pregnancy.
Having a medical abortion is a major decision with emotional and psychological consequences. If you're considering this procedure, make sure you understand what it entails, side effects, possible risks, complications and alternatives....
The Mayo Clinic speaks to PRIVACY in stating "The reasons for having a medical abortion are highly personal." That indicates privacy. The medical records of ANYONE, INCLUDING WOMEN, are confidential and not a matter of FIOA!
The reasons for having a medical abortion are highly personal. You can choose medical abortion to complete an early miscarriage or end an unwanted pregnancy. You can also choose to have a medical abortion if you have a medical condition that makes continuing a pregnancy life-threatening.

The conservative effort (click here) to cast a story about a pregnant 10-year-old Ohio rape victim as a hoax has now fallen apart, with confirmation of the case arriving Wednesday. While some merely noted the initial report hadn’t been confirmed, several conservative media figures and Republican politicians went significantly further in casting it as a dirty trick meant to make the GOP’s post-Roe v. Wade laws look bad; high on that list was Ohio Attorney General Dave Yost (R)....
The medical society of the USA needs to come out and speak about this atrocity and the fact politicians are looking to make hay on this. There is no reason for an investigation into a legitimate abortion on a 10 year old child. The investigation ONLY belongs in bring the rapist to justice. The fact the child needed an abortion and the abortion contents reveal a pregnancy is all that is necessary. It stops there! The doctor is a WITNESS, not a victim!
Indiana Attorney General candidate (click here) Todd Rokita has called for an investigation into the Indiana obstetrician for providing abortion care to a 10-year-old rape victim.
This issue of abortion is dangerous because the Republicans think this is such a strong issue for them, they will construct a very demonic agenda surrounding women's health.

The Ohio abortion ban (click here) that led a 10-year-old rape victim to obtain the procedure in Indiana last month and the state’s past refusal to recognize same-sex marriages were in the spotlight Thursday at a House Judiciary Committee hearing on how the U.S. Supreme Court’s rejection of the Roe v. Wade decision that legalized abortion would affect other personal in a Wednesday hearing of the House Judiciary Committee, Sabrina Eaton writes. While Ohio’s Jim Jordan used the hearing to discuss a rash of recent vandalism at churches and crisis pregnancy centers, several Democrats attacked Jordan for describing the case of the 10-year-old rape victim as a lie in a tweet he deleted after her rapist’s arrest....
The Cleveland Clinic is the backbone to Ohio's Health System. The Cleveland Clinic is also affiliated with NIH, as is the Mayo Clinic, and serves as a cutting edge hospital that administers experimental medication for all manifestation of human health.
Looking to the Cleveland Clinic regarding abortion the SAME PRIVACY ELEMENT is in place no different than the Mayo Clinic.

“Our strongly held conviction (click here) is that women’s healthcare decisions are best made between a patient and their healthcare provider — a relationship based on privacy and trust. It is a privilege for us to serve patients with such an intimate understanding of their lives.
We are deeply concerned about the consequences that restrictive abortion laws will have on women and families....
Any Democratic or Independent candidate for office at any level of government needs to be very confident in their understanding they are standing with medical professionals in some of the finest and most advanced medical facilities in the USA.
There is no reason to back down. Remember the Republican Party is standing with insurrectionists, Shamen and cults. It is vitally important legislators are strong in their values of women's health and the strength to bring a resolve to protect all women and girls.
Anti-abortionists, the Robert’s Court and the political party of Trumpian Republicans are weakening the American Family while they face greater impoverishment without quality of life when many children require the same resources as a few children.
American men have stepped up their priority for vasectomies because they see the religiously bigoted outlawing any form of contraception. The move to sterilization will be sought by young men as well as those not yet reaching adulthood. The horizon American men see includes in vitro fertilization of their wives as well as adoption. The Roe v. Wade decision demands attention before sterilization becomes an adverse realty for the USA. I don’t care what billionaire Musk says, on the ground American men are not interested in large families of children.
