My mother was a nurse in the OB clinic at Mt Sinai from the late 70s to the early 80s. Mikhail Baryshnikov volunteered as a Russian translator. My mother had to ask a woman about her menstrual cycles and OB history via Baryshnikov and it is one of her fondest memories.

Imagine how much worse that gets without FACE in place to deter those protesters from using physical force and intimidation.
They're going to be there either way - that's their right.
It's our right not to fear for our lives at work or while receiving medical care.
Don't let them repeal FACE.

Last week, we talked to a patient who was late for her appointment because she was too scared to navigate the gamut of protesters outside in order to get the care that she wanted and needed. Luckily, we have amazing escort volunteers who were able to make contact with her and guide her in.

for those who physically obstruct clinic entrances or enact violence against patients or healthcare workers at these clinics.
Repealing this act is tacit permission for someone to physically attack me at work just because I work in a clinic that provides reproductive care.

Basically what this means is that if someone needs emergency treatment that includes (or relates to) the termination of a pregnancy in an area where abortion is restricted or illegal, (federal) EMTALA will no longer apply to protect the right to that treatment (or the providers of it). WTAF.

I absolutely adore the Vorkosigan books. I also seriously love her Penric & Desdemona series which is equally satisfying in a similar way.

I'm concerned for my license just by knowing that this occurred. Is there an emotional support Compliance Officer around?

The post I quoted doesn't have alt text but it's a black and white illustration of a Canadian goose in four panels - it stands up, reveals itself to have four legs, stretches like a cat, and wanders off. Delightful.
