A 14 yr old can't get her medication because the drug is used to regulate arthritis meds - but is also used for abortions - so she can't have it?

14-year-old's arthritis meds denied after Ariz. abortion ban, doctor says

For years, Deborah Power, a rheumatologist in Tucson, had prescribed methotrexate to manage her 14-year-old patient's rheumatoid arthritis. But just two days after the state's abortion ban took effect last month, a pharmacy denied the teen's refill.

The reason: In a higher dosage, methotrexate - a drug used to treat some cancers, arthritis and a slew of autoimmune diseases - can also induce abortions and terminate ectopic pregnancies, though that's not its most common use, Power told The Washington Post.

Emma Thompson was ultimately able to get her prescription filled, but the delay highlights the medical complications some patients are facing in states with strict abortion rules. Even if their medications are not prescribed to end a pregnancy, the reversal in June of Roe v. Wade has thrown pharmacists, patients and physicians into a "constant juggling act," Power said, balancing medical care with changing policies and potential legal consequences.

Typical Republican lawmakers throwing out laws without understanding the ramifications. Corporations are leaving states that don't support choice. Republicans are trying to push their abortion ban on the military (with its high rate of sexual assault on women) and women aren't having it. Now we learn that Republicans are still backing Hershel Walker despite him getting his girlfriend an abortion. Way to stick to principals. Republicans don't really care about children, they just want to control women.

Terrible. Hate to break it to Republicans, there are many substances that can cause a miscarriage to happen, right in the privacy of one’s home. I’d like to see them keep up and regulate that.

According to these 12 year old basement dwellers who hide under the anonymous on this board, she can't. They don't think that anyone who isn't a WASP should have rights at all.

But you are right, this overturn is harming more than it is helping.

This is a shame that a 14-year-old female with arthritis was denied her medication cause the side effects are used for abortion now this shows you that the Republicans worry more about themselves than a 14-year-old teenager/child.
