Reproductive Health
Although I haven’t spoken much lately on this site about the policies that effect women, I have been writing about reproductive health issues in other places. Most people think of reproductive rights issues as being solely about the right to terminate unwanted pregnancies. That only scratches the surface. It’s about having the right to make healthy choices for your body.
As I learned too well lately, reproductive health isn’t just about life, it’s also about loss. And, thanks to the recently passed Stupak Amendment, insurers may get to have a say in how loss will be handled as well.
This weekend, a group of male pro-life Democrats gambled with women’s health, and women lost. By broadly writing in that insurers can chose whether or not to cover “abortion services,” pro-life amendments don’t just affect their intended victims — women seeking a way out of an unwanted or medically harmful pregnancy. They also affect another group of victims — women whose pregnancies have already ended but have not yet miscarried.
I’m one of those women, and this past Halloween I had what the hospital officially termed an “abortion.”
