Welcome to the discussion of US Politics!

Rules:

  1. Post only links to articles, Title must fairly describe link contents. If your title differs from the site’s, it should only be to add context or be more descriptive. Do not post entire articles in the body or in the comments.

Links must be to the original source, not an aggregator like Google Amp, MSN, or Yahoo.

Example:

  1. Articles must be relevant to politics. Links must be to quality and original content. Articles should be worth reading. Clickbait, stub articles, and rehosted or stolen content are not allowed. Check your source for Reliability and Bias here.
  2. Be civil, No violations of TOS. It’s OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It’s NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.
  3. No memes, trolling, or low-effort comments. Reposts, misinformation, off-topic, trolling, or offensive. Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.
  4. Vote based on comment quality, not agreement. This community aims to foster discussion; please reward people for putting effort into articulating their viewpoint, even if you disagree with it.
  5. No hate speech, slurs, celebrating death, advocating violence, or abusive language. This will result in a ban. Usernames containing racist, or inappropriate slurs will be banned without warning

We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.

All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.

That's all the rules!

tldr --

The main thrust of this article is about postpartum hemmorhage (PPH), which can occur up to twelve weeks after giving birth. "[H]ospitals often stock misoprostol on postpartum hemorrhage kits or carts that are in delivery rooms for quick access. But under the new law, which classifies mifepristone and misoprostol as Schedule IV drugs, some large Louisiana hospitals said the medications will be "stored in a passcode-protected dispensing system" alongside other controlled substances." In order to access these medications, now doctors will need to do a bunch of paperwork first.

Rescheduling these drugs puts them farther out of reach of medical professionals who need them quickly in order to save the life of someone who is bleeding out. This is essentially like making EMTs and paramedics keep Narcan and Epipens in a locked box in the ambulance, that they can't open until having filled out the proper form.

Don't give them ideas, Republican states would probably love to force Narcan into locked, paperwork controlled boxes.

The long term impact of this is going to be a seismic popping sound as the majority of OBGYN doctors leave the state for other prospects. There are 50 states. They don’t have to practice in yours. It’s still a free country, for at least another week anyway.

A bit hyperbolic, doctors have contracts. But as the contracts come up for renewal there’s little to stop them from leaving.

This should matter to the political group keen on increasing the “domestic supply of infants” and encouraging people to replace themselves. Instead, they’re playing this game rather myopically.

I love how people have convinced themselves that there is any logic involved at all. They give zero fucks about babies or future tax payers. The only thing that matters is the cruelty right now

Well that's pessimistic. You have two whole months of FREEDOM until the inauguration in January.

They're just mad the Taliban is so far ahead of them at fucking over women. Going hard to close that gap.

My sister-in-law needed this. It saved her life. Fuck these people.
