Lawmaker With COVID: My Health Choices Are Up To Me. Critics: That's What Women Assert.

I guess there goes his argument about this then:

Rep. Louie Gohmert (R-Texas) tweeted that his course of treatment battling COVID-19 is up to him and his doctor — not “government bureaucrats.”

Funny, critics pointed out, that’s exactly what women want when it comes to reproductive health.

Gohmert, who is opposed to abortion rights and believes women should carry unwanted pregnancies to term, has been slammed on Twitter for defending his own health care choices since he tested positive Wednesday for COVID-19. His anti-abortion beliefs are on the extreme end of the spectrum. He once told a woman she should have carried her brain-dead fetus to term “just in case.”

Funny how it only works one way.

He is not carrying a child.

He is not carrying a child.

A good thing on multiple levels..

Gohmert is suspected of infecting other members of Congress by not wearing his mask. Congress member from New Mexico per an article that I read yesterday.

He is not carrying a child.

Deflection as usual.

Deflection as usual.

Deflection my ass. My statement most sustinctly makes the point that making a choice for ones self does not remotely equate to making a choice for two and exterminating one of them, thus no hypocrisy here.

Maybe your health choices aren't really up to you?

Well, that was an interesting read, but I’ve never seen a pleading like that, which is ostensibly a court petition. I appreciate many of the references, but then much of it is disjointed and superfluous at the same time, plus nowhere does it ask for any relief unless I missed it.

In another post I commented that my reading of the literature is that HCQ is one of the proven safest drug available and cheap, so even acknowledging that the efficacy is in dispute, I reason that this taking it prophylactically is a No Brainer. I have verified with my pharmacist that in Texas the Board Of Pharmacy has removed the strictures on pharmacists filling prescriptions without a doctors note describing necessity. However, when I went to my doctor’s office to obtain a prophylaxes prescription, I was informed that he would not entertain writing one. I was unable to talk directly to him about it. That is odd because I have had several long talks on other subjects, and know him to be one of us conservative nuts. Too bad I can’t quiz him on his thinking or pressures, but I’ll be moving on to another doctor if I can find one here who will prescribe HCQ.

This is idiotic. Only a fool would think they were the same.
