On this week's @bust_magazine blog: Indiana docs don’t have to report abortions to a government fantasizing about arresting them, and a “pro-life” org threatened lawmakers to vote NO on LIFE-SAVING care. Plus! The FDA Commissioner is punting his “review” of mifepristone until after the midterms.

Abortion is health care, but it can also be an act of hope or a prayer or a wish or a Hail Mary for the lives patients want to protect or build or keep imagining. Some people don’t want to be pregnant, they have an abortion, they go on to lead the lives they imagined. Abortion is worth celebrating.

It’s interesting to see a writer list “the worst things” a man has done, and it’s truly a list of horrors, and then blithely say that still, we must get along. You can only do that when you aren’t in anyone’s political crosshairs. Must be nice.

The new GOP tax bill gives the richest Americans (making over $4.3 million) an average tax cut of over $389k—while working families earning $17k-$51k will lose $700 a year on average. It’s a slap in the face to hardworking families who need tax relief the most.

MAHA adherents do not seem to believe in avoiding infectious disease at all… To MAHA, sunscreen, pasteurization and food dyes are unnatural, and therefore harmful. COVID-19, measles, the flu, RSV, and any other contagious disease you can imagine are natural, therefore not harmful.

RFK Jr.'s "MAHA" movement doesn't want to eliminate chronic illness. They want to eliminate the chronically ill.

Public health, modern medicine and disease mitigation will suffer under RFK Jr. because he sees sick people- not sickness- as the problem.
