The FDA just quietly approved mifepristone, one of two drugs used for medical abortions, to be dispensed in pharmacies that agree to specific regulations. The second drug, misoprostol, has never been as tightly restricted.
This will allow a patient to get a prescription from a doctor and go to any pharmacy that follows the regulations. Unfortunately, this does not help patients in states where abortion is banned.

@twelve_thirty4 thank you!
That moment when you freeze the living room occupants with a death glare over your readers, because one of them is getting ready to call another a "son of a..." over a spirited game of mario kart. I will own being a bitch, even the queen of the bitches but lets have some manners in the living room!π
@Carolyn_haack Glad it didn't. It's aggravating to learn how completely clueless some "professionals" really are, especially when you're the one batting cleanup behind them.
@see_the_sus insurance in this country is set up to gatekeep resources. While simultaneously extracting as much profit as possible from the very people theyβre paid to take βcare ofβ. Itβs barbaric madness. Weβve monetized every stage of life from womb to grave. All while swearing (usually w/ fingers crossed and an oily smile) how concerned about life we are π Iβve been fighting my own fight since 1/20 w/ private insurance and drs who donβt listen. Itβs madness.
@sarcasmsign oooh I love w good vacuum. What kind is it?
I'm stupid excited about my new vacuum. I had just used one of those fancy hair removal tools for carpet that's all over the internet, got a bunch of hair up and this new vacuum found even MORE hair and dust to suck up. I love it. It also hangs on the wall, so I got to use power tools again. #win
@see_the_sus it is incredibly frustrating to have to fight so hard to be heard and seen as a patient. I wish I had anything helpful to say.
BREAKING: Andrew Tate, formerly known by being roasted by Greta Thunberg, has been arrested in Romania for human trafficking.

"Andrew Tate was just arrested IN ROMANIA, by Romanian authorities, on the charge of human trafficking, because his highly lame video to Greta Thunberg identified his location, showing he had ordered pizza from a Romanian chain (Jerryβs Pizza). They nailed him!
How cool is this?"

If state governors have enough cash on hand that they can pay to transport immigrants halfway across the country as a political stunt, they can damn well pony up in the middle of an airline "meltdown" and get stranded Americans home.
Mobilize the Air National Guard, if that's what it takes, but get it done.
