Dobbs was an earthquake. This decision is more than just an aftershock. One of every four abortions in this country is provided by telehealth. Pills by mail was one of the only lifelines available to people who needed abortions in states with near universal bans.

Between 1996 and 2007 all of Australia had less than 50 cases of diphtheria. Twice that many cases in less than 6 months seems bad.
This is a preventable disease with a 10% mortality rate: the vaccine for it work and is safe.

I live with depression & anxiety. I take medication & go to therapy. Even then, there will be times I'll be in my own head for the most ridiculous of reasons, despite things going my way.
That's why it's important to have loved ones in your corner.

This makes no sense. In 2023, the Ford govt allowed pharmacists to prescribe medicine for 13 common ailments precisely to clear up doctors’ time spent on minor ailments all to alleviate the long waitlists for Dr. appts. Now he’s doing the opposite? WHY??? #ONpoli
