There is no such thing as being “pro-life” while supporting laws that let children be shot in their schools, elders in grocery stores, worshippers in their houses of faith, survivors by abusers, or anyone in a crowded place.

It is an idolatry of violence. And it must end.

I was a Pro-Choice Escort outside of clinics when I was in high school and I've done it here and there since. Not enough, if I'm honest. It's basically making sure women get in and out safely and harassed as little as possible. Here's something I'll share... (con't)

[Graham Walker, MD @grahamwalker]

Just so we're clear: the pregnancy that ends up in the wrong spot, like the fallopian tube? The one that will NEVER turn into a baby and will rupture and kill your wife, daughter, or sister? Terminating that fetus is also an abortion, and they want to ban those, too.

[Elizabeth @elizabethlgr]

The treatment for an ectopic pregnancy is abortion.

The treatment for a septic uterus is abortion.

The treatment for a miscarriage that your body won’t release is abortion.

If you can’t get those abortions, you die.

You. Die.

[Jocelyn J. Fitzgerald MD @jjfitzgeraldMD]

Get the blood banks prepared for massive transfusion

Stock broad spectrum antibiotics

ICUs prepare for sepsis

Surgery prepare for bowel perforations and diversions

IR prepare to embolize more uterine arteries than you’ve ever imagined

Gyn will be calling you.

On Tuesday my mid child will be 6.5 years old.
I will be exactly 6 months away from paying off my 20% portion of her $1.2mil birth.
We can't be deciding as a country to force carrying pregnancies when we wont provide insurance that covers the cost.

[Kelly “MIGS Lady” Wright MD @MigsRunner]

When I chose Ob/gyn over Gen surg as my path to become a surgeon I certainly never considered the possibility of going to jail for the life-saving surgeries I have to do while on ER call. This is a nightmare.

[Pooja Pradhan @ajoooop]

Has managing your health records ever made you want to tear your hair out in frustration?

What functions or tools would make managing your healthcare easier? Dream big people.

It is frankly an outrage that the companies making mRNA vaccines are vastly more interested in selling booster doses, the need for which has not yet been proven, to rich countries than ramping up production for the rest of the world.

We need public health experts/scientists/doctors leading communications on COVID... hand in hand with other trusted community leaders.

Frontline healthcare workers put their lives at risk during the pandemic. Many feel let down by the fact that this was a close race:

“All of the clapping doesn't make up for the feeling of still being canon fodder for an inept administration.” https://t.co/ygWTcW1MyN

Let women lead.

BREAKING: CDC finds Arizona infection rates

Me to a chief digital officer at a top health system just now: "So how are you feeling about the Amazon threat these days?"

Response: "Oh Haven no."

Fixed this for you, @realDonaldTrump

BREAKING: The CDC now pulls down language saying COVID aerisolizes.

It’s reasonable to wonder who is calling the shots at the CDC and what the scientists actually think.
