Today, The New York Times and Los Angeles Times featured our message to all Americans. It’s urgent that we take the scientifically proven measures to protect our children: - Get vaccinated. 💉 - Wear masks, especially in schools. 😷 - Social distance and wash hands. 🤲
Pre-Roe, I was 8 yrs old. I came home from school to find my Mom lying in a puddle of blood. She was weak & asked me to call a neighbor. She was miscarrying, but the embryo would not abort. For 48 hours, she bled while doctors transfused blood, waiting. Abortions were illegal.
I am mentally ill and yet I have never had the desire to target an entire group of people and massacre them. Racism is not a mental illness. It is a choice of hatred and violence. Do not further demonize and stigmatize mental health in order to avoid the dealing with racists.
Pediatrician here. I want people to know that death by firearm is not rare in kids. In fact, it has been the #1 cause death in this age group since 2020. In 2020 alone, 4300 children died from firearms. That’s equivalent to one Boeing 747 plane crash every month for 9 months.
If you’re against abortion, don’t get one. If you’re against contraception, don’t take any. If you’re against same-sex relationships, don’t have one. If you’re against same-sex marriage, don’t marry someone of same gender. Do not impose your beliefs & religion on all Americans.
