WE ARE OPENING AN ABOTAK CLINIC IN WARSAW! > > > We call ourselves the Abortion Dream Team, and for years we have been doing much more than the Polish state to expand access to abortion in our country. Eight months have passed since the change of power, and legal abortion or even abortion guidelines from the Ministry of Health are still not in sight. That's why we're not waiting idly for a change, and we're opening a space that will set standards and identify good practices of abortion care, put pressure on the government to introduce appropriate laws, and on doctors to learn how to do surgical abortions in accordance with WHO guidelines. It will also be a space where you can find our colorful sweatshirts and t-shirts, as well as works by Polish female artists and books in the climate of the ABOTAK clinic! > But in order for this miracle on the Vistula to come to fruition, we need cash! > > Contribute to our fundraising for the premises and become an ambassador of ABOTAK clinic! > > > You can read more about us on our website: https://abotak.org/en/

>Over the centuries, physicians have placed migraine in various positions along the mind / body spectrum. Headache experts currently consider migraine a somatic disorder rooted in the brain. But this is a break from the past. Up until thirty years ago, doctors primarily viewed migraine as having both a psychological and a somatic basis. In what follows, I trace these historical understandings of migraine from the nineteenth-century understanding of migraine as a disorder of upper-class intellectuals, to the influential concept of the “[migraine personality](https://www.migraineagain.com/the-birth-of-the-migraine-personality/)” in mid-twentieth-century America, and finally to contemporary theories of comorbidity. [...] >I pay close attention to how, at each historical turn, biomedical discourses come to enact and reinforce cultural narratives about gender, class, and pain via the encoded inclusion of moral character. After all, the credibility and the legitimacy of a disorder — and how much we, as a society, choose to invest in its treatment — is intimately tied to how we perceive the moral character of the patient.

> When a woman starts bleeding out after labor, every second matters. But soon, under a new state law, Louisiana doctors might not be able to quickly access one of the most widely used life-saving medications for postpartum hemorrhage. > > The Louisiana Illuminator spoke with several doctors across the state that voiced extreme concern about how the rescheduling of misoprostol as a controlled dangerous substance will impact inpatient care at hospitals. Misoprostol is prescribed in a number of medical scenarios — it’s an essential part of reproductive health care that can be used during emergencies, as well as for miscarriage treatment, labor induction, or intrauterine device (IUD) insertion. > > But because it is used for abortion, misoprostol has been targeted by conservatives in Louisiana — an unprecedented move for a medication that routinely saves lives. A controlled dangerous substance has extra barriers for access, which can delay care.
[alt text: a screenshot from the 2023 Barbie movie, where America Ferrera's character is monologuing about being a woman. The caption says, "'And you're supposed to be strong, but not TOO strong or suddenly JK Rowling, Logan Paul, and JD Vance will start to say you're actually a man.'"]
I found this thoroughly interesting as it goes into how no matter how women dress it is never our/their fault for having bad things happen to them/being objectified etc which I wholeheartedly agree with.
