Another CCP #propaganda shill. Oh yeah, the one child policy really promoted women’s #ReproductiveRights.

“For 2 years, I’ve seen firsthand how our state’s #AbortionBan has harmed my patients, with countless lives & futures changed because politicians thought their views of the right #healthcare was more important than #pregnant people & their #medical providers,” Dr. Eric M Reuss, one of the healthcare providers who brought the lawsuit over #Arizona’s 15-week ban, said in a statement.

#Idaho #doctors, meanwhile, say it remains unclear which #abortions are legal, forcing them to airlift #pregnant women of state if a termination might be part of the standard of care. It’s often unclear in fast-moving emergencies whether pregnancy complications could ultimately prove fatal, doctors said in court documents.

A judge has blocked ID from any #abortion ban enforcement that would change #emergency treatment at the state’s largest #hospital system for now.

The #Biden admin had given similar guidance to #hospitals nationwide in the wake of #SCOTUS’ 2022 decision overturning the right to #abortion. It’s being challenged in other conservative states.

In #Idaho, the state argued that its #law does allow life-saving abortions & the Biden admin wrongly sought to expand the exceptions. The Republican controlled state agrees w/the dismissal, so it does not need judicial approval, #Trump #DOJ attys wrote in court documents.

So, on the opposite end, this #Michigan lawmaker chose #Sterilization, and is receiving #DeathThreats?!! This is truly insanity! Beyond #idiocracy!

Death threats follow Michigan Democratic lawmaker’s decision to have herself sterilized

Story by Andrew Roth, 2/11/2025

"Michigan state Rep. #LauriePohutsky (D-Livonia) said she’s received death threats after revealing during a rally last week that she underwent voluntary sterilization because she was concerned about the future of reproductive health care during President Donald Trump’s second term in office.

"Pohutsky’s comments during a #50501Movement rally in Lansing last week quickly spread across the internet, including among right wing media circles. The rally was part of a national movement that aimed to hold 50 protests in 50 states on one day.

"'I refuse to let my body be treated as currency by an administration that only sees value in my ability to procreate,' Pohutsky said during the rally, emphasizing that 'a sitting government official opted for voluntary sterilization because she was uncertain she would be able to access #contraception in the future.'

"Pohutsky’s social media profiles were quickly bombarded with hostile comments.

"In one voicemail left with her office, a caller says that “godless people” are going to be “eliminated” and warns Pohutsky that she is “on notice.”

"Some of the threats have been referred to law enforcement to investigate, Pohutsky said.

"Pohutsky said that U.S. Rep. #RashidaTlaib (D-Detroit) reached out to her after the speech gained traction online, noting that Tlaib is no stranger to viral moments or receiving threats.

"The speech also garnered the attention of conservatives on a national level, including Ben Shapiro, who said of Pohutsky, “So many broken people.”

"The fourth-term House member responded to Shapiro, saying “I think the broken people are the ones who are personally aggrieved by my personal health care decision.”

"Pohutsky said she and her husband decided last year that they were done having children and began exploring options for more permanent forms of birth control, citing her concern after Trump won the election about being able to continue to access the contraception she had been using."

Life 'cut short': #Peru's victims of #ForcedSterilization seek amends

Story by Agence France-Presse, 2/12/2025

LIMA — "Florentina Loayza was 19 and mother to an infant when she was sterilized by agents of the #PeruvianGovernment, against her will.

"Decades later, the 46-year-old #IndigenousWoman is still fighting for an apology and #reparations along with thousands of others robbed of their fertility in a 1990s state campaign condemned by the United Nations.
'My life was cut short,' Loayza told Agence France-Presse, recounting how her partner abandoned her over the procedure, which also left her with lasting pain.

"'On the outside, we look fine, but inside we are withering,' she said of the estimated 270,000 women who, like her, were coerced, pressured or deceived into surgery to have their fallopian tubes tied.

"Eighteen women died, according to official data, during the campaign that marked the final years of then-President #AlbertoFujimori's 1990-2000 rule.

"His government said it had offered sterilization as part of a family planning project, but the UN women's rights committee said in a report last October the state had carried out a 'systematic and generalized attack against rural and #Indigenous women.'

"It said the procedures were carried out without #InformedConsent from victims who were often poorly educated and did not understand Spanish, the language of officialdom in Peru.

"'It's not something that was done in the cities... but in a specific (rural) area as a way of fighting poverty so that the poorest women didn't reproduce,' Leticia Bonifaz, who was a member of the UN committee, told AFP.

"She said it was the biggest known case of forced sterilization in #LatinAmerica."
