I will never understand why people act like it’s a death sentence to be in a wheelchair. There’s not a damn thing I can’t do sitting that you can do standing. Quite frankly I’m better at doing a lot of things sitting then people I’ve met standing. Including sports. It’s baffling.

Under no circumstances should a woman be denied emergency medical care because she’s pregnant.
I’ve taken action to ensure this is never the case in the United States.
ALT A woman arrives at the ER with miscarriage symptoms. She is experiencing life-threatening bleeding. The treatment for miscarriage is the same treatment provided for abortion care. Because Roe was Reversed: A doctor may be unsure or worried about the consequences of treating a patient experiencing pregnancy loss or life-threatening pregnancy in an emergency, especially given the wave of abortion bans that have taken effect. Under President Biden's Executive Order: HHS will make sure providers know and understand their legal obligations under EMTALA to provide emergency life- or health-saving abortion care, when necessary, in every state.

I ran from a mass shooting today with my two little girls in my arms. We got separated from my wife. We hid behind a car and then sheltered in the apartment of some good Samaritans for 5 hours watching swat teams from the windows. We are all ok but we’re angry, very very angry. – at Highland Park, IL
