Well it seems to be the day to point out patriarchal evil

WY (R) Senator escalates war on women's healthcare

Highlights:
This federal legislation would raze hundreds of state laws that ensure patients can get the medical care they need and would not allow women to designate their ob/gyns as primary care providers.

  • not allow women to seek care directly from their ob/gyns, but would force them to be screened by their primary care doctors first

  • dismantle coverage for contraception

  • dismantle coverage for annual cervical cancer exams

  • not allow women to stay with the same doctor throughout a pregnancy, if that doctor was dropped from the insurance provider
