the politics of women's bodies

from a patient's obstetric history:
"4 abortions in China, per policy"

also from a patient today:
"in China they let you take birth control pills if you are a smoker"
my response:
"maybe, but in America we actually care about your health"

or maybe in America care about getting sued.
but i care about not putting her at risk of a stroke.
