So, ladies...you gonna trust those 13 very privileged, white partisan men to man'splain to you what your rights should and should not be under the law? Will you let them 'splain to you that you are a walking talking pre-existing condition and deserve no protection and if and I mean only if THEY decide you can have some healthcare you pay double for less care. 'Cause ladies...You are just not that important to them. They are the better half...well at least in their fragile and diseased mind it is what they think.
Nah, I didn't think you would take this lying down.

Fuck them all and their smug smirks. Remember when they were talking about "death squads" in the ACA? They were planning their own, real ones.

(14,530 posts)so now I will give it a kick. They love the fetus so much they are also allowing maternity care to be exempted. Then blame the fetus for being born with health problems.

(11,686 posts)pre existing conditions then the woman should go to jail for not taking care of herself and causing the baby to be born that way. It does not matter if they can not afford any help because it is entirely her fault even if the disability is from the mans side of the family. Maybe I should shut up. I am giving them more ideas unless you think they are already working that out in their minds.

(2,093 posts)When it comes to cruelty and bigotry, they got this. You couldn't come up with anything that they haven't thought of already.
Whatever horrors that you could think up pale in comparison to what they already believe. I don't know you, but I'm willing to bet that your mind is not capable of producing the kind of fevered, spittle-flecked hatred that they already have fully formed.

(11,686 posts)The only thing worse that I can think of is them making rape and any abuse of females of any age legal and the LGBTQ community also.

(2,093 posts)If rape treatment is a pre-existing condition, women (who already under-report due to police not believing them, prosecutors making the victim feel at fault, etc.) will now have a new worry of losing their insurance if they report. So rapists don't live in a news vacuum, they know this. If a rapist knows that a woman who was unlikely to report before is now even less likely, that is incentive for him to rape the same victim again.
The same holds true for domestic violence. This bill makes SA and DV more likely. The truly horrifying part is that it is likely true that fewer victims would report, causing "crime rates" to drop. Which the GOP & Trump would then point to as evidence that their policies were successful at reducing crime.
This is so horrible. They are so horrible. I have been pin-balling between tears and rage all day.

(11,686 posts)I have also been angry. I fear for women and girls. As for me I do not care about losing my insurance because of being raped because I have so many other pre existing conditions that disallow me to have the future insurance it does not matter. They claim they are Christians but when I did go to church I was taught that God was supposed to be loving not hateful. It is this attitude of hate that caused me to find Buddhism. I fear this country at this time, particularly for females and LGBTQ.
Is going to suffer greatly under this President. The fight that we fought under Obama and Biden was excruciatingly painful a few years ago. A law that had always passed easily before Obama. It stalled due to the asshole right. It is going to be worse, pretty sure it is next year it comes around, so much worse under trump. We may never see it happen.

(51,583 posts)while women can't even get birth control covered by insur. Men laugh, yet women don't. Gee, I wonder if this hits too close to home? My father is man enough to agree with me. In fact, he agrees that men have testosterone "poisoning" and it has screwed up "man kind" for about 2000 years. So please don't lecture me for being a liberal female...he sure as he'll isn't. He is rational and objective. I am proud of my dad and mom!
