OB/Gyns are going to the Hill tomorrow to advocate for inclusion of pregnant and lactating people in clinical studies because “The way to protect patients is THROUGH research, not FROM research.” - @KavitaShahArora @ACOGAction #CLC2023

A Republican member of Congress reached out to ACOG, the professional organization that represents over 60k OB/Gyns, to warn us - if we mention ANYTHING about abortion during our meeting tomorrow, they will block all ACOG priorities, the voice of women’s health, indefinitely.

Two longtime friends are proving it's never too late to get out and see the world.

Eighty-one year olds Sandy Hazelip and Ellie Hamby, inspired by Jules Verne's novel, "Around the World in 80 Days," are on a mission to see all seven continents, nine Wonders of the World and visit 18 countries in just over two and a half months.

So far, they're making good progress: Hamby and Hazelip have set foot in Antarctica, and told CBS News that on Mar. 4, they saw the world from a plane flying over Mount Everest.

...

"We don't travel first class. And so when we have other ladies, especially who say, 'Oh, I would love to travel with you two,' the first thing I always do is look at their hands. If they are well-manicured, they do not want to travel with us," Hazelip said.

Holy shit. Texas republicans introduced a bill to give huge tax cuts to *straight* couples having children—with up to 100% cut in property taxes for TEN kids.

The bill’s author said “Get married, stay married, and be fruitful and multiply.”

This is handmaid’s tale shit.
