Reproductive Health Supplies Coalition Report

"Leave Before It Is Too Late To Escape": 40 Indicators That We Live In A Dystopian Reality, As Shared By Our Community There are women in some parts of my country who still have to get permission from their boyfriends or husbands to get birth control. They also have to fight with pharmacists who are religiously opposed to it to get birth control. And they sometimes have been denied life-improving surgery to have hysterectomies because- whether the woman wants children or not- the doctor doesn't agree with her not having children.

I live in the US.

I have major medical issues, some of which are genetic, but if I were to become pregnant right now I could be forced to carry a (likely non-viable) baby to term and give birth. So I have decided not to date until the law is reinstated. If I don't get a choice, the men don't get a choice with me.

The world is literally burning to the ground because of global warming yet people who don’t even make a living wage spend what little money they have to pay to watch the show of a talentless family and buy their “beauty” products while members of that family take their private jets to destinations they could easily have driven to. Meanwhile I feel guilty if I use a paper plate. Stop funding the K family people, they are scamming you left and right and care about no one but themselves.

Thought crimes and new speak. You have to use the correct euphemistic language and dodge around what you're trying to say or else a hypersensitive social justice warrior will throw a childish tantrum at you. You need to anticipate which euphemisms they prefer, and if you guess right, they will move the goal post and throw a fit at you anyway.

Jesus Christ.. Medical Debt doesnt exist as a term in my country for example. I can go to the doctor and pay nothing. Even when I am sick, it is not counted as paid leave, it is counted as sick with full pay. Even if I get sick during vacation, I get my vacation days back. I can also be sick for 6 weeks and my employer has to pay me full pay. After 6 weeks I still get 70% of my pay by the health insurance..for months if needed. I get paid for every therapy or operation if it is advised by doctors. So when I get sick I dont have to worry about paying my rent or my other bills. I live in germany. Now that is what I expect of a modern society.

I live in Oklahoma. We have bad mental health treatment. Our jails and prisons are garbage. The governor is constantly fighting with native tribes. No one cares about women's rights. Christians will get in your face and judge you openly. Lot of homophobes, lot of racists. A lot of animal abuse and neglect. But hey, it's really cheap to live here.
