America’s maternal health crisis is getting worse, and veterans are uniquely at risk.
I introduced the Maternal Health for Veterans Act with @SenDuckworth, @SenatorCollins, and @SenBooker to make sure VA can provide veteran moms with the world-class health care they’ve earned.
In a stunning turn of events, a judge has temporarily blocked a new Wyoming law that would have classified almost all abortions in the state as felonies. But what makes this decision particularly noteworthy is that the judge used a rule established by Republicans themselves to do it.
This rule, which was added to the state's constitution in 2012 as a reaction to then-President Barack Obama, was intended to prevent the government from meddling in healthcare matters - an effort primarily aimed at blocking the Affordable Care Act.
So, in a strange twist of fate, the rule meant to thwart Obama's healthcare agenda has now been used to stop an abortion law in its tracks.
Thank you, Obama!
@TheBloggess Just had my 4th treatment today. It was over a year of talking and thinking of this was the right choice but I felt like I was running out of choices. Treatment resistant depression sucks
@thebethocracy Dealing with this now. My mom (74) had major surgery and aftercare and Medicaid haven’t been easy. Lots of bills which she can’t all afford on her retired salary and truly understanding the meaning of the sandwich generation.
@JennaHatfield We aren’t seeing her until July and I am trying to avoid watching all the videos of her show so it seems like a surprise. But also….I want to see all@the videos
Three years ago, Breonna Taylor was woken up and killed in her own home at the hands of those sworn to protect and serve.
I will never forget Breonna Taylor.
Today, we say her name once again and recommit to finally passing commonsense police reforms.
New season kicks off March 15!
And unlike that guy who ordered Fireball at dinner and kept saying “crypto is the future,” this is one date you’ll want to remember.
@schmutzie Yeah. I never fit into the “order”. I’m my mom’s only child, but have two half brothers 7 and 8.5 years older than me that I lived with until my parents got divorced. So I’m an only child and the baby of the family
