mom of adults! wife, nurse for the wee-est of people, Great Dane wrangler, mostly moderate, love God-not a Christian, pro-choice, aspirational oenophile
Another day thankful I work in a state that allows critically ill pregnant women to access the healthcare their doctor and they decide is best for them.
@MediClit
UhโฆI see multiple vulvas daily as part of my job. They very much come in every kind of shape and size. I donโt know WTH youโre on about.

Iโm a NICU nurse. Many of our patients are there because mom became too ill to continue the pregnancy. There are so many iterations of how that might happen..in the blink of an eye. This is devestating.
@elisha1022
Iโm not a period. And Iโve hated having periods since day one. Iโm so incredibly grateful I could stop mine. Saved hundreds of dollars on sanitary products as well.
@AshleyGWinter
I was a NICU nurse for 2 years when I had my first and I still felt like โyouโre just letting us walk out? With this tiny human? By ourselves??โ
Iโm glad Issue 1 won in Ohio. I wish pro-life folks would take to heart the reasons it did. Itโs not, nor has it ever been about โkilling babiesโ yet they keep doubling down with that rhetoric as if it will eventually win.
Are they daft?

My child has been in and out of bed for days with her period. Sheโs 17 and has hundreds more periods to go in her lifetime. Missing out on your life is not healthy.

Know what labor feels like? Like youโve gotta poop. If any of our antepartum, pre-term moms say they feel like they have to poop, we run!
@Coll3enG
If they can show pictures of bloody fetii and scream across from the friggin YMCA where my kids have swim lessons, they can deal with protests outside their homes.

Or my co genital heart defect makes it too risky for me to tolerate the increased blood volume during pregnancy and will result in a 50% mortality rate for women born with this condition. Etc
@byKateSmith
These bills are insane. And will have an extremely detrimental effect on womens health. OBs in TX are already unable to offer termination for PPROM pre viability. Do pro-lifers not understand the risks they are transferring to mothers by trying to *save* fetuses??

@FuzzySkeptic
Because that means the state is making healthcare decisions. Instead of just the doctor and her patient. Thatโs what you wanted. This is what you get.
@TradeReversalsF
@jonathanstea
Good luck with that theory. Also, see not washing hands after a good poo then making dinner for friends.
Theyโll love you.

My husbandโs scrotum fits plane seats just fine. Andโฆitโs likeโฆnormal.
Is there an epidemic of orchitis we should be investigating?
@jfitzgeraldMD
Thank you! I keep hearing โunique DNA created at conception is a life!โ
Noโฆit takes a lot of work for the mother to turn that into a life. Often to her detriment.

I donโt want police in my schools. They shouldnโt fucking have to be there. Stop it at the source. Donโt make our kids pay for your freedumb
@oldenoughtosay
@RobAnderson2018
That pisses me off. I had a coffee every morning while pregnant because I worked 12 hour shifts in a level 4 NICU and my exhaustion made me nauseous and that was the only way I could function. That and an almond croissant.
@DrJenGunter
Or you are hospitalized 3 times before 30 weeks for IV fluids due to severe hyperemesis taking you away from your other children, your family, your job.
@RepKClark
The slippery slope fallacy proves to be, indeed, true. Whatโs next? You canโt buy alcohol if you are of childbearing age? Canโt fly due to radiation? Canโt take ACE inhibitors?
@CharlotteLaws
@McFaul
Have you had other vaccines? Do you brush and floss your teeth or just go get fillings?
Prevention is a good thing. And is much more cost effective globally.

@thekjohnston
NICU RN here. Weโve been relatively safe in our bubble but weโre asked to volunteer to adult units during our last surge.
I havenโt taken care of adults in 20 years. Trust me folks, you donโt want me as your nurse so get vaxxed dammit!!
@DanRather
I donโt either. I wear one 8 hours a day at work. Grown toddlers canโt wear one for 20 minutes to the grocery store without having a tantrum. This country is falling apart at the seams if basic human decency is gone.
@DavisTodder
Why does it have to be out to know itโs loved?
Once itโs out, it will suffocate.
It will die, why not make that death less painful and traumatic for all.
@coulterculture
I donโt think youโve actually ever been to a gym. Or a Lululemon or Athleta or Title 9 or anywhere that actually sells workout clothes have you?
@JoyceWhiteVance
Are they giving all women free healthcare? Free prenatal and well child care? Whatโs their approach to providing food and diapers?
Gonna guess nothing.
@palmerLoni4
Hi. Iโm a nurse. No..all illnesses are not parasitic. We have had the technology to know the difference for centuries. Literally you can confirm. Easily.
@WFKARS
As a NICU nurse, this is something we tend to be familiar with. Offering comfort care when an neonate is passing. Done it many times in my career.
