I never thought trying to get basic medical care would turn into an all out war but here we are. Pick your side and draw the line cuz this isn't one of those things you can just sit and watch happen. I recently tried to refill my hormone medication that i have been on for over a decade because I have low hormones because of under developed ovaries stemming from doing chemotherapy for 7 years starting at the age of 16. After a decade of never needing a prior authorization on my hormone meds all of a sudden as of 3 days ago my insurance starts throwing red flags about approving it. All of a sudden they want to know why. After 10 years and never needing a prior authorization and conveniently 2 days after Roe vs Wade was overturned here we are. I should also mention I work in healthcare and have a background in medical billing so i know how this game is played.
If suddenly millions of men were forced into getting vasectomies and told they couldnt get access to their favorite little blue pills they would try to burn the country to the ground and try to overthrow the government. Oh wait that already happened. Except they were whining about masks and screaming my body my choice about a shot. Now that its women they think we are over reacting. We are not. I assure you. I literally just want a say in what I can do with my body. For me having a child could kill me. Ive been told since the day I got diagnosed to avoid getting pregnant because it could kill me. But as of 3 days ago my life is no longer relevant and it doesnt matter if I die as long as we save the precious clump of cells that hasn't formed yet. Lets not worry if the kid will come out a raging physical mess and trauma later in life dripping in guilt because their mother died in child birth. But all that matters is if we save them right?
This decision is going to kill lots of women Because here we are back in 1942. Where you have no rights and do as you're told. Well guess what? I've never been a well behaved woman and I don't plan to start now. I literally just wanted a peaceful life. But I have come to learn I am born to lead, I am born to teach and I am here to be a warrior. Some of the best women in history were not well behaved women and they changed the world. You set a good example ladies. We are here and we are not silent.
Have you ever looked up a condition from the 18th and 19th century called Female Hysteria? It was an alleged mental health condition that explained away any behaviors or symptoms that made men uncomfortable. Imagine that that this mysterious "illness" was discovered by a man. It was a condition that rarely affected men. Go look up the treatment for it and tell me that men haven't been trying to find ways to shut women up for centuries. Women have been fighting for their rights since the beginning of time. We thought the war was over but its just beginning. Strap on your armor ladies. We have to go to war.
