Still reading and re-reading, but I’d like to suggest that a rectal sonogram using a a vaginal wand sheathed with a condom be part of the rectal exam. It’s much bigger than the doc’s index finger and the procedure could be justified by noting MD is looking for cancerous lumps.

Thank you for diving into the weeds of the Texas SCOTUS decision and explaining that it didn’t overturn Roe v Wade, which is what’s being reported. We know it’s a huge step in that direction though. C’mon Merrick Garland!!!

To every f*ing word of parity testing for men when they want their ED meds.

Bless your bellybutton! I love you for finding the time to write this for “us”. It helped bring down my stress level. Still angry as hell but a bit calmer. I love your sense of humor and greatly appreciate your insight and knowledge. Thank you!

Filey THANK YOU! for perfectly articulating everything that has been bouncing around in my head and I have been so pissed at the sheer ASSITUDE of these privileged white old men that think they have a right to govern women's bodies and control their little island of domination!

I"m posting /sharing your piece on twitter. 💜

Thanks for breaking this down. I am in no way less angry, but I am more hopeful. Also, these fuckers have poked a hornet's nest and may they pay for it. I also think that every man who wants to protect himself and his loved one should get a vasectomy and talk about why. And every other female in Texas needs to get access to birth control and condoms and never, ever drop their guard. This doesn't help the victims of abuse, but it will make them stand out.

If the woman goes to an out of Texas abortion provider, is that entity at risk too?

Thank you. You confirmed what I was thinking, that a proper lawsuit/legal action is needed to address it. Just what little I have read (not a legal person, just a nerdy engineer), there seems to be a lot of questionable issues with this bill. Among other things, since it seems to base its restrictions on fetal heartbeat, what if there is no heartbeat at say 10 weeks, 12 weeks?
