I saw the link to this in tictactacogirl's journal: Medical "professionals" denying patients access to the Pill.

I used to be on the Pill for medical reasons. I was under 18 and was not sexually active for the entire duration of the time I was on the Pill. What the fuck makes anyone think they have the right to do this? What do these people tell their patients who have endometriosis? "Sorry, there is a simple way to treat this but you're probably a dirty slut and there's a miniscule chance that you'll have a fertilized egg that fails to implant in your uterine lining if you have this treatment. How about some invasive surgery?"

We're one step away for forced impregnation, here. I don't even know what we can do about it. The AMA should be able to put a stop to it. If they gave a flying fuck about women's health.

On a whim, I've been looking at various feminist and list-feminism-as-an-interest-but-turn-out-to-be-viciously-anti-feminist communities and now I know why the women's rights movement hasn't made more progress. Geeze. It bugs me that a few immature people have the ability to ruin things for everyone. For example, rockmyass_cosmo seems to exist for the sole purpose of being snide about what's posted in kissmyass_cosmo and blaming mental illness on the people who suffer from mental illness. What's the bloody point? If some of them worked for Cosmo or a similar magazine, I'd understand but I don't see anyone there saying they do.
