The anti abortion Bill no one is talking about 2019 article still topical

RantWoman's post on 2 blogs every day binge blog effort is proving kind of daunthing and a construction project RantWoman has no control over is going to further constrain RantWoman's daytime keyboard time.  If RantWoman skips a day here and there and then doubles up on each blog, oh well. 

RantWoman can easily shoehorn the article linked below  into several of her binge-blog categories, 

#NDEAM both because of employment issues for anyone with a disability participating int he job market and because of how having a child with a disability impacts both parents' relationship and their workforce participation. 

National Domestic Violence Awareness Month if only because of the increased risk of domestic violence when a woman is pregnant and the consequences for any child if the mother experiences domestic violence during pregnancy. 

In any case, RantWoman's starting point about abortion:

--The US has one of the worst infant mortality and maternal mortality rates in the world. The pro-fetus crowd along with lots of other people need to do a much better job of taking care of people who are already alive.

--Everyone should have access to comprehensive evidence- and science-based sex education--and communications skill development. No one is forced to have sex just because they know what condoms do, but thought and communications skills also matter.

--Everyone should have access to health care if only so they can make informed choices about what birth control is right for them.

--Abortion should be safe, legal and rare.

--Doctors are sometimes wrong and science advances. RantWoman went to school with someone who had cystic fibrosis. His obituary on Facebook mentioned that by the time he got a lung transplant he had already outlived his childhood physicians' estimates about his lifespan. He lived at least a decade after the lung transplant.

--RantWoman would strongly encourage anyone thinking of aborting a child with disabilities to talk to adults living with similar disabilities or to parents. RantWoman has no idea whether such conversations would shift anyone's thinking. RantWoman absolutely would say such conversations are worthwhile if only because they help one see that what matters to people growing up with disabilities might be completely different from parents' or medical teams' assumptions.

There. Now read the article. The author is WAY more plainspoken and way more of a realist than RantWoman can be easy. That has no bearing on whether or not realism is entirely on point.
