Some doctors have provided sensitive information to authorities, and also there are politicians pushing for legislation that would make protected medical info accessible to LEO and other such parties.
I am Canadian and offered on my Facebook page to mail abortion pills to Americans, got IMMEDIATELY banned for 30 days, and was interviewed by Vice about that. Facebook is complicit.
I’m not one to defend Facebook, the execs can burn in hell for all I care, but they do have to comply with the laws of countries or else face being sued by some litigious Americans.
Let me ask you this. Are you still on Facebook?
Me myself was not happy with the influx of misinformation on there 10 years ago and I’ve not used the site since, or Instagram or WhatsApp.
I really appreciate your dedication but most of us are just trying to get by. I mean the fact that we're engaging with you on this platform instead of others is worth something.
Personally I am old enough that I have never had social media. ICQ then AIM were the way people connected when I was young. Many of the people my age have Facebook accounts, but it's not like they're on there obsessing daily.
My wife deleted her Facebook a couple years ago and I was so proud of her.
Please be careful. Your heart is in the right place but if you keep cutting people out over a shitty choice of platform you might end up out of friends.
Thank you for your kind words, and I didn’t mean to come across as combative or anything, I was just voicing my thoughts.
As for losing friends, if my friends don’t believe in the same things as me then I really should find friends I have more in common with.
Full disclosure I’ve done some fucked up things in my life and my way of making amends is speaking of for the people less fortunate than I am and taking a stand for the things I believe, whether it makes a difference or not.
well, you don't have to answer the doctor, and he/she doesn't have to prescribe or help you. bye, don't come back. you don't get to ask for help then stonewall, just don't come.
Have you considered that it may be entirely irrelevant to why they need help?
Her denying that info makes it easier for women who are trying to avoid being persecuted for getting an abortion to do the same, keeping them safer. If your primary care physician asks as course of habit but your period was regular, its not important for them to have the specific date.
You're being down voted because you've made yourself seem both ignorant and callus.
so find another doctor. if i don't like what my doctor is telling me, i find another. you can downvote me all you want, but neither of us know every detail of what the actual issue is, we're basically working from a meme.
do you continue to do business with racist management/owners/employees?
do you continue to go to places that have treated you like shit?
i mean, she can deny answering the questions, and the doctor can deny her service. i don't see the issue here, both are private parties and well within their rights to do so.
They ask you about periods at every single visit for any reason. Have migraines? When was your last period?Twisted your ankle? When was your last period? Think there is a bug in your ear? When was your last period?
There is no avoiding this question as a period aged woman.
Any woman who votes for the right at this point is voting for the handmaid’s tale. Ending no fault divorce, ending a woman’s right to choose, tracking women's periods, and the list goes on. The right is trying to roll back women’s rights little by little.
If the state decides to punish people for having allergies and to violate medical confidentiality to force doctors to report these people - you wouldn't want to tell your doctor about your allergies either.
not really. typically birth control is prescribed with instructions on when to start in relation to your period. they don't need to know the exact date.
