Bill HR-7 Coming up - Anti-Abortion Women's Healthcare

When I did read the bill, this came to my mind:

VERY NICELY WORDED
SWEET
LOVELY
RELAXING
TRANQUIL
CALMING
SERENE

But it is an Anti-Abortion religious based "women's healthcare" package wrapped up with a very pretty bow.

1. I couldn't get past #4.

Whereas health care for women should also address the needs
of men, families, and communities as they relate to women’s health care;




Has there ever been a statement like this regarding MEN'S healthcare? That anyone other than the man should be considered?

As usual, we exist to serve others, we mean squat.

4. Crazy. But If you look at it from a ChristianFascist perspective, I guess it seems sane.

From the ChristianFascist perspective, men are always the most important. But they have to mention women, too.

They even hijacked the birth process & crafted Eve from one of Adam's ribs.

10. Thousands? More like forever.

Men have always exploited women's reproductive disadvantages, those being unwanted pregnancy, actual pregnancy, & of course fear of sexual assault. But once humans realized men's part in the reproductive process, men have tried to control that, control their offspring. It's by design that it's God the father & God the son & the last is a ghost. The holy trinity does not include women.

3. Is this about not allowing federal funding

of abortion? Does it affect taxpayer funding of abortion by states? This is not yet the national abortion ban, correct?

I have trouble getting through the legal language in the attachment. Titling this "anti-abortion" is a little vague. Can anyone better informed than me clarify?

11. Am I imagining things, or is this also anti-birth control?

I've never seen anything so condescending. Thinking they are so nice not to criticize her sexual behavior. Right. No mention here about how to solve women dying of miscarriages.

12. These are all religion based and what you think is probably what it is.

A push to have babies at any cost.

Anything normal would probably not be included.

6. This is a very elegant way of supporting anti-abortion; It says it is a way to "counter abortion"

So it's very fluffy and elegant;

It just supports a business that doesn't use abortion as an option.

13. This would be a way to the abortion ban. If these are all the women's health centers without abortions......

There it is. Easy step to abortion ban.
