To a lot of evangelicals and conservative nutjobs? Quite literally it is.

This is why “alternative” medicine is so popular in their circles. Essentially anything spiritual or holistic instead of things based in science and reason. This is why essential oils and quackery is used in place of things like vaccines. People like him are the reason my s/o can’t get a D&C for her endo because it’s so fucking close to an abortion in their eyes.

I fucking hate it in this country.

We’re trying to get my s/o and her kid out of Florida but her ex husband is kind of a shitbag and purposefully avoiding family court to keep her locked there. It’s straight up awful. We’re already on a like 10 month wait for this process.

There’s also a really good chance she gets locked there for custody for the next decade. Which sucks because she absolutely needs medical care for her bits and bobs and Florida is actively fighting her on it because they’re close to abortions in their nature. Several doctors giving her the run around for endo treatment and such.
