Actual baby care?

[Sand Dancer]

To tell the truth I’m a little bit tired of the biological rhetoric I’ve been seeing. Not just lately but my entire life. The whole “close your legs” thing. As if pregnancy is some sort of immaculate conception deal. Perhaps men should keep it in their pants
And maybe those without a womb (functioning or otherwise) should no longer have a say in abortion whatsoever. I mean they have no real stakes in it. And if that biological absolutism bothers them, then too bad. Women have had to hear it forever. They can cry me a damned river. It’s easy for men to say such things, they don’t have to be pregnant after sex. So they can shut their mouth.
Wow okay maybe that’s a little harsh but I’m angry right now lol

I was heartened to learn that my country, dispite its differing state laws on abortion, does not ever consider allowing paternal injunctions to impede on abortion. Regardless of paternity.
Even in the strictest states. Such a phenomenon is blanket banned by our federal government it seems.

The most religious countries seem to have many issues with it rearing its ugly head. Why the heck do we have to be the most antiquated developed nation? It stinks.

My heart goes out to you guys

Maybe someone will throw a stronger lawsuit that forces constitutional protection of abortion?
Right? Maybe?

There will be a fight, and we can only hope something changes.

Hopefully.

Needless to say, the international reputation of the US has suffered greatly in the aftermath. Not that that seems to matter to many. Just an observation.
Condemned by the UN, by multiple medical professionals of various disciplines and indeed I’ve already seen dozens of opinion pieces calling the decision barbaric, archaic and a return to coat hanger abortions. Which I can’t say that I disagree with.

Like Americans always say. My thoughts and prayers are with you guys
(And if you need it, I have a spare room at my house )

How's that since it hasn't happened in single payer countries, and not only that they tend to have lower costs?

I'm talking about the US. Greed seem to be more prevalent in the US.

Birth is not a medical procedure.

Yes, it actually is. Hence the prices listed above.

Can I just ask. Who decides these prices? Is it just the insurance companies or is there another entity dictating that to said companies?

I think hospitals set the prices, but honestly, I'm not very certain.

Ahh fair enough

Hospitals can charge what they want, but if insurance won't pay it, it comes down to the patient or it is written off. Insurances set what they will pay for certain procedures.
