Intern 1: I just went into my first C-section!

Intern 2: How did it go?

Intern 1: I don’t want children anymore.

Just like with Amber Thurman's family, Nevaeh Craine's family is appalled that her death is being used for politics, and blames medical negligence for her demise -- NOT abortion restrictions.

STOP USING OUR BROKEN AND DEAD BODIES TO SUPPORT CHILD KILLING. DOING SO ENABLES MEDICAL SEXISM AND ABUSE THAT ACTUALLY HURTS US.

Angélique Marguerite Le Boursier du Coudray (c. 1712 – 17 April 1794) spent twenty-five years traveling the towns of France, teaching obstetrics in an effort to share her extensive knowledge with poor country midwives. Madame Du Coudray invented the first life size obstetrical mannequin, or “The Machine”, for practicing mock births. Only one example of the original machine, patented in 1778, survived and is on display in the Musée Flaubert et d’histoire de la médecine in Rouen, France. It includes a life-size mannequin representing the lower part of the female body, a doll the size of a newborn baby, and various accessories demonstrating female anatomy, a seven-months fetus, twins, etc. Between 1760 and 1783, she traveled all over rural France, sharing her extensive knowledge with poor women. During this period, she is estimated to have taught in over forty French cities and rural towns and to have trained 4,000 students directly. She was also responsible for the training of 6,000 other women, who were taught directly by her former students. In addition, she taught about 500 surgeons and physicians, all of them men. In her thirty years of teaching she taught over 30,000 students. Through this educational effort Du Coudray became a national sensation and international symbol of French medical advancement. Via Anonymous Works.

Once again the James Blish adaptations... Who Mourns for Adonais? ends with McCoy revealing that Lt Carolyn Palomas is pregnant and it’s Apollo’s baby.

I feel like no one's discussing the significance of the circumstances in which Jen was bound. Jen was a midwife, she became bound when she showed up to an obstetrics conference. I find it interesting that Jen had someone under the guise of obstetrics take away her power and autonomy when in US history, the field of obstetrics was created through torturous "experiments" and "surgeries" on enslaved black women because they believed they couldn't feel pain. I'm so impressed by the parallel here, and how they are linking persecution of witches to other forms of oppression as well.

Most people get a man who's skilled at either obstetrics or cobbling. Aziraphale got himself a man who can do both.

Agatha left Jennifer alone because she was doing “the real work.” Not just as a witch, but as an 11th generation root worker and midwife.

Because if she’d had a Jen instead of being isolated and alone, Nicky might have had a chance.

Amber Thurman's hospital is flooded with negative reviews from patients who complain about the neglectful care they received there, in all sorts of medical situations.

Further proof that pro-aborts will use dead women's bodies to fearmonger society about abortion laws, when the REAL culprit has always been shit healthcare to begin with. If you want to give af about birth and reproductive justice, then STOP IGNORING WHAT'S ACTUALLY HURTING US.
