>Women in the United States do not have a universal right to health care

wait, what?

>many localities have made it effectively impossible to obtain health care services that are related to reproductive health care.

oh. so by framing access to birth control/abortion as "health care", it's now a "health care" issue. that's a interesting way of grabbing attention.

>We could also point to evidence that there is a practical lack of rights to fair trials in sexual assault cases

are you talking about the men or the women in this case?

You could read the paragraph where I point out those drugs have other uses. Women with endomitriosis or PCOS need them and can't get them in many states, living in pain and increased mortality because of moral panic over health care.

But even ignoring that, managing when to have children IS a health issue for many women and for their unborn. For example, many women over 40 take birth control because they're concerned about increased rates of birth defects for children with mother's over 40.

Your attempt to frame a phenomenally complicated biological process as anything but a health issue is your politically informed opinion.
