ecstatic's JournalA national "Banned from Buying Guns" list
At the very least, could rethugs agree to that idea? The Uvalde killer had been threatening to shoot up a school for years! He should have been on a list like that.
Besides voting BLUE, what should women be doing right now to prepare?
On Morning Joe today, Mara Gay mentioned that her friends were deleting their information from period tracking apps in response to the SCOTUS draft. At first I thought it was a little premature but now I'm wondering because I share that info with Fitbit (Google) and another app as well. Honestly, if we're really at the point where companies like Google will rat us out to State authorities if we have suspicious gaps in our cycles, then we would have to return to using dumb phones because everything we say and do is tracked.
Some other ideas that I heard last night were to order Plan B and the abortion pill now, but I'm concerned that that could create shortages for women who actually need it right now.
I think the FDA should speed along the approval of self-placed IUDs. The copper IUD is nearly 100% effective as emergency contraceptive up to 7 days after unprotected sex. It's not the most elegant solution but it's a better option than carrying a rapist's baby, for example. The copper IUD should be made widely available and nurses should make it a priority to learn about how to safely insert them. Biden's administration can create programs that give RNs and NPs training specifically related to reproductive health care.
Also, I'm sure this already exists, but we're going to need some sort of database to distinguish between authentic pills and fakes.
