Weasel words revealed by the government

All birthing women are equal but some are more equal than others.

In a nicely Orwellian turn of phrase where we’re assured that our choices are being expanded, the government deigned to share some of their maternity “care” plans with us. Finally. The AMA’s choices are sure being expanded but those of birthing women have been reduced to “When? How high?”.

Luckily for me, Lisa Barrett has already written about this so enjoy.

This is what it looks like when human rights vanish. It’s not a big revolution, or a violent attack, it’s just a sinister set of back door dealings between powerful groups in order to trash the basic human rights of women. Scary huh? You could be next.

Look out.
