The first bill heard in this committee today was the one that would give doctors the right to conscientiously object to providing birth control, sterilizing procedures, a hysterectomy, or an abortion.
I had to stop watching it partly because I had to go to an appointment but it was really pissing me off we didn’t hear any of these concerns when they were having a hearing to see about getting Medicaid to stop covering circumcisions that aren’t medically necessary or religious based.
This is an attack on women’s healthcare. One of the healthcare providers who testified against the bill called it a right to discriminate, and she’s right. Nobody’s trying to force a doctor to provide services they don’t provide, we’re just saying that if they would give a tubal ligation to me if I already have three kids they should give me one if I have zero children because I don’t want children.
