Council member David A. Catania (I-At Large), who introduced the bill, said the District and states need to make more preventive medicine available without requiring costly visits to a doctor.

“At this point, in this city, it’s already a challenge for many women in underserved communities to get the appointments and then find a pharmacy,” he said. “I think it’s a way to expand access to contraception and to conserve valuable resources.”

This could affect women who have had miscarriages, because often the treatment post-miscarriage is the same procedure as an abortion, and who could be in danger of serious infections or other complications without the intervention. It could affect women who fully intended to carry their pregnancies to term, but who had life-threatening complications. They could be refused a life-saving procedure. In some jurisdictions, that would probably be considered negligent homicide. But since a pregnant woman somehow magically loses her personhood and becomes nothing more than the vessel holding the sacred fetus in the minds of these “pro-life” monsters, they don’t see it that way.

JESUS SHITTING CHRIST, DON’T THESE PEOPLE HAVE AN ECONOMY TO FIX?  UNEMPLOYMENT RATES TO REDUCE?  WARS TO LIE TO US ABOUT?  ISN’T EGYPT CURRENTLY FUCKED UP? 

SO WHAT IS UP WITH ALL THIS “PUNISHING PEOPLE WITH A UTERUS” SHIT?  Is this REALLY where Congress believes they are most needed right now?! 

And for the people who voted for these assholes: are you getting your money’s worth?  Are they really “restoring” America?  Or are they wasting their fucking time worrying about abortion issues when they could be doing what they fucking promised you they’d do?
