I love how the media always demands Dems do the right thing (Menendez)

and then snickers about never expecting or requiring or even asking Republicans to do the right thing (Santos).

Trying out some messaging regarding Repro Choice

based on/inspired by the book Ejaculate Responsibly by Gabrielle Blair (EXCELLENT MUST READ)

--------------------

If you want to take her choice away, take it away by having a vasectomy.

Reversible. Affordable. Highly effective.
LESS painful than a pelvic exam or an IUD.
NO dangerous side effects like hormone pills.

Abortion: It's the MEN.



@FrankLaRose Man up and have the vasectomy, Frank. Or are you uncomfortable with putting the focus on the man's body instead of the woman's?

------------------

Sex doesn't cause pregnancy.
Ejaculations cause pregnancy.

Who should be responsible for controlling the output of ejaculations?
The woman???
Or the man.

Abortion: It's the Men


---------------

Women are fertile for approx 24 hours a month - so 12 days a year.
Men are fertile every second of every day until the day they die.

So why is the burden on women to prevent pregnancy?

New probe confirms Trump officials blocked Puerto Rico from receiving hurricane aid

The Trump administration also obstructed an investigation looking into why it was depriving the U.S. territory of congressionally approved funds, the report found.

The administration of former President Donald Trump obstructed an investigation looking into why officials withheld about $20 billion in hurricane relief for Puerto Rico following the devastating aftermath of Hurricane Maria in 2017, one of the deadliest U.S. natural disasters in over 100 years, a new report says.

...

It all started after 2018 when OMB began requiring HUD to send grant notices for disaster funds through an interagency review process for approval, making it hard for HUD to publish the notices needed to unlock funding in a timely manner. Investigators found that OMB had never before required such a review process for a notice allocating recovery funds.

...

The Trump administration's OMB also insisted on overhauls to Puerto Rico’s property management records, suspension of its minimum wage on federal contracts and other prerequisites to access relief funds, according to the report. Some HUD officials worried such requirements were potentially beyond HUD’s authority to impose on grantees.

...

Office of Inspector General audits published last year found that Puerto Rico needs to have a better system for requesting and monitoring federal grants to rebuild after Hurricane Maria — but Texas and Florida had similar issues and their funds were not held up after natural disasters.

On MSNBC right now: Dr. says that an Rx even for ibuprofen can allow insurance coverage

and lower the price. She was speaking in the context of the newly-available over-the-counter birth control.

IF YOU HAVE THE OPTION of having your doctor write a prescription for it -- even if it is over the counter -- it can reduce the price by applying whatever your insurance covers for prescriptions.

She was concerned that even a $10 cost might deter some women.
