In which she learns she is pre-pregnant
Lis Riba explains why she's outraged by new federal guidelines that consider all women who have yet to go through menopause as "pre-pregnant" - and so requiring reminders to keep up their health in case they wind up preggers:
... I have been unable to obtain adequate medical care for my epilepsy because I am what they'd call pre-pregnant. As my neurologist puts it, I am a woman of child-bearing age. As such, they flat-out refuse to try me on any medicines other than the ones proven least likely to affect a fetus (read: the ones that are paying off my neurologist). Despite the fact that I have declared my belly a no-fetus zone.
My neurologist does not trust me to not get pregnant. My neurologist puts a potential fetus's potential health over my health.
And now the government wants to officially sanction that. ...

I saw this too, and
I saw this too, and completely flipped my sh!t as well. Until women get healthcare for their own issues (ALL women, not just the ones who can afford it), we can't very well justify only worrying about the womb attached to the woman.
Also, we can't expect girls (usually a girl gets her period at age 12, making her a potential childbearer) to be fertile if we don't tell them their options for birth control, which people want left out of sex ed curriculum. Make up your minds, government.
