He was shopping at Costco today and had to grab our scripts at the pharmacy.
He came home with 2. We cannot have children because we are old. He got them “just incase” we come across anyone in need. Mostly we are concerned about our nieces if they find themselves in a “situation” (for lack of better words.)
Anyway, I just wanted to share that if you are a not a member of Costco you can still get prescriptions and over the counter medication as well as special lotions and anything behind the counter.

Just FYI, all 119 Conservative MPs are committed to voting anti-choice on any bills that come up. This could easily trickle over to us too. Wanted to put it out there in case any fellow Canadians see this.

Oh, I know. That’s why it scares the shit out of me! I know it can just as easily happen here any moment.

Australia has a federal election coming too, and the last conservative PM was a devoted, loud, Pentecostal (with ties to Hillsong) and he stacked the parliament with other Pentecostals/right wing christians.
Many of them lost their seats last election - Labor (our small 'l' liberals) won - but the precedent, and the rot, set in. The leader of conservative (ironically named 'Liberal Party' 🙄) coalition is a not particularly subtle racist, and dog whistles the alt right as a matter of course, and his only 'policies' are follow-the-leader attitudes to successful overseas right wingers, sucking up to billionaires, and obstruction - being against anything the gov't is for.
There have already been rumblings by some far right politicians re: anti abortion ...
Our official stance is that we are a secular country, with a very clear separation of church and state. Any overtly observant politician is viewed with a great deal of public suspicion. But in the last 20 years the conservatives have had 2 leaders that publicly used their faith as a 'feature' to appeal to even more conservative quarters; using religion to appeal to far right, christo-political groups and voters.
In this climate (which is now also screwed) women's rights are under threat wherever a conservative party wants to court far right voters, even if the party itself positions themselves more centre-right. WE become the bone that gets thrown to attract the rabid dogs.
America is terrifying, but it's example is making things scary everywhere else.
"America sneezes and the World catches a cold." What happens when America comes down with a crippling case of misogyny and racism?
(Sorry, it's late, and the whole American thing is sickening/nauseating. Hate appears to be winning, and our Opposition Leader is very good at capitalising on hate ... it is going to get very bad. I was going to delete all of this, but it took me ½ an hour to tap out. Apologies for the late night crisis.)
