Womanhood is approaching. From a shy African girl comes a Hue-abundant lady. The young miss needs new specs, but the pediatrician informs us age has caught up. It's an appropriate hour to hand off health care responsibilities. After playing phone tag with a myriad of folks, we were able to get her information confirmed. Her first medical decision was to book a physical with a female doctor affiliated with Baystate Pediatrics.

On a shopping trip to Target, another healthcare resolution occurs. I suggested an ophthalmologist as opposed to a standard eye exam. The family ophthalmologist is on vacation. Target has opticians who write scripts. After a brief conference, Target accepts her insurance with a 15.00 copay. An appointment happens. Cordiality exchanges include emails, insurance coverage, contact lens examination, and contact information. An easy flow happens between her and customer service

A few days later, we discussed abortion. I am dismayed to hear the words "barely a heartbeat" to describe a living human. I am a pro-life advocate who respects a woman's right to live privately. Privately includes making informed health care decisions about her body. The government's role is to ensure women's access to private health care decisions—particularly the black female body, fodder for slave-owning presidents, and plan parenthood eugenic adherents. Yet the idea of a living being called "barely a heartbeat" disturbs me.

I have a pro-life agenda: clean air, freshwater, and abundant food. Abolish killing Earth with pesticides and fossil fuels. A right to life means we eliminate weapons of mass destruction, prioritize education, and end mass incarceration. Even advocating for reparations is pro-life. A sane immigration policy that takes into consideration persons fleeing from injustice and economic insecurity is pro-life. Choosing daily exercise, eliminating meat, meditation, and prayer are pro-life practices. Progressive thoughts of an advanced democratic society feature early detection and treatment resources for breast cancer and pre and postnatal care. Twice yearly payouts of 1200.00 dollars per child to every family making less than 450,000 per year round out a few of my pro-life ideas. Somebody can characterize my still-evolving but somewhat uncomfortable belief that numerous genders are possible. A person has a right to be addressed by the gender they select.

All is not lost. The young miss has decided to buy glasses online. My insight is required concerning color, frame, and fit. I suggest getting rid of the granny theme and looking for something that brings out the flyness in her. Payment is $150. I got off extremely lightly, considering glasses can quickly run up to 500.00. The college crew found a website offering discounts and referral bonuses. I am happy with my role in her private medical decisions. She has assured me that I can continue to play this part, especially when payment is necessary. The patriarchy lives on.
