Oh my god: "Every one of us who worked in an emergency, intensive care, or surgical setting treated pre-teen children who were shot in the head or chest *on a regular or even a daily basis*." - 99 US health care workers in letter to Biden/Harris www.gazahealthcareletters.org/usa-letter-o...

But the Trump administration now says they may return to America from abroad if they pass security checks

Gilead’s 2x/yr injectable lencapavir was 100% efficacious at preventing HIV among women in its trial published this summer. It’s a game changer for those at risk who may struggle to take a daily pill. And now Gilead is licensing generics manufacturers to make it!
His Muslim ban demonstrated the same thing. Green cards were suddenly irrelevant if held by undesirable immigrants.

“Inconvenient” is the most dismissive, deliberately understated way to describe the horror of being pregnant via rape and denied a choice about it. Like, more power to you if you’ve chosen to carry to term under those circumstances, but it has to be a choice or else it’s actual torture.
Yes! “Somehow inconvenient *to the society*”. Not even the “inconvenience” is about the person actually pregnant.
