    I saved this info to a file on my computer in case the Google Sheet doc goes away. Don’t be passive. Take some action, no matter how small.

      It’s funny that Republicans want to force women to have babies but then also complain about women that have too many babies and refer to them as “welfare babies” but also want to defund social aid programs and not provide additional resources to foster kids and orphanages.

      (I know that was a run-on sentence.)

        It all makes sense when you realize it has nothing to do with children. They just hate women who have sex and want to punish them for it.

        Well, it was a run-on thought! It really does feel that convoluted when you try and figure it out, but rest assured, you’ve now thought about this in more depth than most conservatives!

        They want the right kind of babies.

        “Welfare babies” are babies born to poor and working class parents.

        They want middle class white people breeding like rabbits, though.

          If they want that they should make it financially viable to do so. I want kids, but realistically I can’t afford it. I’m not going to be irresponsible and inflict existence on somebody if I can’t care for them properly.

      I’d like to see how many people who have abortions later on choose to have a child. I think the “what if” logic for not having an abortions should also be applied to when having an abortion.

        Choosing to have a child later on generally has fewer negative consequences than unchoosing a child you have already had.

          Many abortions are also due to miscarriages, a child is wanted but that pregnancy was not viable, while later ones are.

          Which is why even discussing the idea of these nonsense data points is useless.

          Right. People use the “what if” as an excuse to ban abortions. But they don’t realize their logic can and should be used both ways.

        more than you’d think, i’m guessing.

        anyway, what’s it to you? if someone has an abortion and never chooses to have a child, why does that matter to anyone else?

    Any document for doctors who will actually listen and not make incredibly fucking idiotic observations about completely irrelevant medical topics? Asking for at least half the population of women in the U.S. who have gone in with a legit problem and been verbally pushed aside and not listened to.

    “When was your last period?”

    “I came in to be prescribed anti-depressants. I have been officially diagnosed.”

    “Yes yes, but how is your uterus?”

    “I am going to need anti-psychotics if you keep this up.”

      I was thirteen years old when I went to the doctor by myself because a cut on my eyelid wasn’t healing. I was asked about my birth control, sexual activity, and whether I thought I could be pregnant (after saying I’ve never had sex) then pushed out of the examination room after NOT having my eye examined at all.

      As an adult, I realize now how terrible that was and I would have done something about it if it had happened to me today. But at the time I was so embarrassed and hurt, I just pushed all thought of it away until years later.

        What the hell? That’s so wack and useless. Stating the obvious, I know. Just saying I feel for your and others who may have had to deal with that kind of behavior.

    The fact that this has to be a Google doc maintained by the general public, instead of just having doctors do their damn job, is infuriating.

    Something makes me uneasy about this being a Google sheet, you need to use credentials to view it and someone has a log of who has accessed it…you can probably even see who’s viewing it in realtime

    Use an anonymous account! Or someone should host this on a website or something with higher privacy

      The other side is concerning as well. This list could also be used by individuals looking to do some targeted harassment. Or worse.

      Just entered it, with my Google credentials, even though I’m neither a woman nor an American. If they are going to track people who read it, let’s add as much garbage data as we can (to the tracking, not to the sheet)

    The childfree subreddit also maintains a similar list, for anyone who may need it.
