In his decision making cabal by keeping them out of it. Republicans insist that religion is front and center in the choices women make. Is that for vote harvesting purposes? And are men relevant in how a woman gets pregnant?

Does the Catholic Church need to hate women so much just to make money?

politicians, state, and federal politicians should have absolutely no say in a woman’s decision regarding abortion. Neither should any court.

@darafaye

Every time my husband and I decided to have a child, we called our local politicians to discuss my birth plan and then checked that my OB agreed.

Whenever I consider switching tampon brands, I call my local congressmen.

Months when I have bad period cramps, I like to call my city’s mayor to talk about it.

I called my state Senators when I was having issues with breastfeeding.

Instead of going to the ER, when I think I’ve had an ovarian cyst burst, I head straight to Governor Newsom’s house to see what he thinks would be the most appropriate treatment.

My period was 2 days off schedule this month. @POTUS help.

Can we please discuss my PMDD treatment, @RepMikeGarcia? I’d like to be able to approach this topic with my gynecologist after acquiring your expert advice here.

My endometriosis is getting out of control, gonna have to consult with the Los Angeles City Council about my treatment then schedule a doctors appointment.

Again and again and again.

The question of abortion should be between: A Woman and Her Doctor and Local Political Leaders

Make Oz and every Republican own that statement!

"...so states can decide for themselves."

Got that? "...so states can decide for themselves."

Oh, I see!! It's STATES who need to able to decide for themselves! Not women, not pregnant people, STATES. To hell with all those pregnant people, their partners, their families, their health care providers! It's STATES who need to have the right to choose! Who knew?

Well, to that I say: When a state is able to get pregnant, of course it can have the right to choose. Meanwhile, when any individual in that state gets pregnant, it's none of the state's GD fucking business what they decide to do about it!

Fuck Mehmet Oz and the fucking elephant he fucking rode in on!

This was Oz's "Cruidite" moment on steroids. The soundbite was picked up by the local media here in Philly and has now drowned out anything else that he said.

I haven't even done a search yet but I bet there are all kinds of variants of it all over the internet.

Dr. Oz literally said tonight that he wants "local political leaders" (like his buddy Doug Mastriano) to decide whether or not women have access to safe + legal abortions

That is EXTREME

These critical decisions should be made between a woman and her doctor. Period.

Why not slavery?

States' rights! States' rights! States' rights!

Now there's a mayor in Nevada who wants it decided at the town level.

Towns' rights! Towns' rights! Towns' rights!

Why stop there?

Individual rights! Individual rights! Individual rights!
