@cykonot @vampirdaddy my state has a âmomnibusâ Senate bill being heard in Committee on the 19th (SB246)
and itâs creepy AF.
I mean on one hand itâs great because itâs going to require depression screenings periodically in new parents or people who have had a pregnancy loss, but âmedical terminationsâ is also on the list where people would get regular mental health screenings for a year or two after, and since it has been introduced by Republicans I find it to be a little terrifying.
First of all how are they going to know who had medical terminations to know who is entitled to have their insurance company cover these screenings? I understand that if itâs done in a hospital that bills the insurance company the code that says medical termination, sure. But if I go to Planned Parenthood and pay cash I donât want them sending my name to the state of New Hampshire so they can send the psychiatrists to my house.
Also we donât know that they wonât change the definition of depression, they can. Theyâve been changing the definition of vaccine and disease and excessive deaths for years.
Whoâs to say you wonât get diagnosed with depression because you donât want to have sex with your husband the moment the clock strikes six weeks after birth or whenever the doctor says itâs safe to have sex again? Will new Moms be diagnosed with mental illness if they arenât keeping up with the housework and making dinner every night for their husband?
Iâm Childfree by choice and I support womenâs right to choose the life they want to live and this bill sounds OK but itâs kind of terrifying to me because I know the Republicans arenât trying to do something nice for women. Itâs a trap.
