No period dates now, means no abortion/pregnancy tracking later

Oh. Oooooh. Why the fuck you have worse healthcare than my shithole? Why the fuck your healthcare is worse for own citizens, than mine for foreigners?

Where you from? Might need some healthcare later.

Russia... Not the best time to visit, but hopefully Bunker Rat will be sent to Hauge by the time you will need it.

Here's government's decree(as in by executive branch) about what happens if foreigners that don't have any insurance for example breaks bone. Here's translarion of paragraph 5:

  1. Emergency, including emergency specialized, medical care is provided to foreign citizens in case of sickness, accident, trauma, poisining and other cases requireing emergency treatment. Such medical treatment provided by state and municipal healthcare organizations is free of charge.

You know it's Russia when a specific legal clause is inserted in the medical care laws defining being poisoned as a common form of injury.

"Look we have to do something with all this novochok we have left over from soviet days!"

But since Botulism is also form of poisoning, it is not something too uncommon. And if not treated, it will 60% likely to kill.

And you can get it by eating old canned food.

Ahahahaha. Nice one.

It is list of injuries requiring emergency treatment, not common injuries.

[–] Faresh@lemmy.ml 2 points 6 months ago

Not all poisonings occur because of assassination attempts. (in fact I imagine it to be a very tiny minority of poisoning cases) Someone can be poisoned by picking the wrong mushroom, thinking it to be a different edible one, or by eating the delicious looking tide pods or by drinking a cup of the methanol-rich alcoholic beverage your friend made (or by drinking too much alcohol in general).

Because it’s the only way ‘Murica can be exceptional.

(Exceptionally awful, if it wasn’t clear.)

(Exceptionally awful, if it wasn’t clear.)

Oh, I see the competition. Don't worry, another 20 years of Putin, and my shithole will be the most awfulest of all shithoels.

Really, there are so many similaritues Putin's propaganda like "exceptional path" and "spiritual staples", that it is scary.

I suppose that means doctors in some states are now allowed or even required to report pregnancies that don't end in child birth? (honest question, I'm not from the US)

Here are the states that arrest and punish the most pregnant women

Tennessee, Alabama, Oklahoma and South Carolina lead the nation in arresting and criminally punishing women for allegedly posing a danger to their fetuses, according to a report released by advocacy group Pregnancy Justice.

Nationwide, nearly 1,400 people were arrested or subject to disparate bail, sentencing and probation for conduct related to their pregnancies between 2005 and the Supreme Court decision in June 2022 dismantling abortion rights, the report found. The vast majority were poor, white women, although poor Black women were disproportionately represented.

...

Advocates pointed to two key drivers in criminalizing pregnancy: the expansion of so-called fetal rights or “personhood” laws and a more punitive approach to substance use among pregnant women — even as many states move to decriminalize drug abuse in line with evolving approaches to addiction. The majority of criminal cases documented by Pregnancy Justice related to substance use, including marijuana, cocaine or methamphetamines. In about one-quarter of these cases, the substance was legal: such as nicotine, alcohol or prescription opiates.

Not sure if it is in effect but there's at least a dozen state legislators who are making pushes for it by now without a doubt.

Especially in the wake of referendums spinning against republicans on this issue, conservatives have a nasty little habit of psychotically doubling down when they realize popular opinion is against them.

I don't think any of the laws have officially passed yet but yes it's widely expected to happen soon. This is specifically in reference to laws being considered that would track menstrual cycles to spot possible abortions.
