Tara Rule says her doctor in upstate New York was “determined to protect a hypothetical fetus" instead of helping her treat debilitating pain.

I’ve been saying this for years. Hope you don’t get banned.

If I do I do. But that's where I am. We keep trying the 'right' thing to fix society and get past this shit.

Its. not. fucking. working.

It really is working. It might not be as fast as we want, and it's definitely a bit of "two steps forwards, one step back," but society is generally moving in the right direction.

Tell this woman and the thousands of others like her that it's working. I fucking dare you to go to her account and post don't worry society is getting better just live with it for now.

I'm not responding to her specific situation, but the movement of society in general.

To be quite frank, we are beyond the time where incremental change is going to save us on so many issues, we might as well drastically raze the entire structure to the ground and rebuild anew. We shortly will not have the planet we used to because we’ve been trying this current method of polite effort. We need to be rude, aggressive, and dangerous to our opposition because they are trying to kill us. They are actively killing us. We are not winning yet and I don’t know if I have time to see us get there.

It seems a lot more like half a step forward, one step back.
