I have a ParaGard (copper IUD). Dr. Daniels refused to place it for me and Medicaid wouldn't pay for one. No. This was a gift from Obama during that brief time I was deemed worthy of having health insurance while poor. I also had to find a doctor who would insert it. Big shock here: The only doctor I could find who would do it was a female gynecologist named Dr. Tessen. She believed I knew what I wanted and what was best for me and gave me the ParaGard I had sought for so many years. When she told me she would do it I cried in her office. I may have even hugged her.
Dr. Daniels wouldn't let me have it because he believed it kept you from being pregnant by abortion. He refused me a form of birth control based on his religious beliefs - which is no shock here in Alabama.
But so like, should I turn myself in for all of the babies I've possibly unknowingly "aborted" over the last 4 years? In all that time, surely there's been at least one. Should all women with a ParaGard get jail time?
(I know that's not how ParaGard works. I'm just commenting on the current "women are just incubators" situation.)
