disgusting. and makes me think about why i had to lobby so hard to have a cvs test at 10 weeks gestation despite it being best practice for a woman my age.
I can't load this link here in my hotel room, but I can pretty well guess it reads something like "No abortions for you unless you are provably near death and not anywhere near your due date." Am I far off?
And I suppose the next time a medical professional on base asks me if there's any possibility I'm pregnant, I'll make sure to tell them it's none of their business since they'll only care for me if I plan to deliver.
My god, Kimba, it's like you're psychic! And great response, btw. I think that's going to become my new response when I'm asked when my last period was or whether I'm pregnant: "What's it to you?"
I agree with the other commenters, and I'd like to add of course they won't cover counseling. They don't really cover it for anything else, so why this?
My response when I get asked if I'm pregnant is often, "No, I don't have a death wish today."
I was so dehydrated from hyperemesis with our 2nd child that when I pulled over to throw up (on the way to my husband's work so he could drive me the rest of the way to the hospital an hour away because that was the one who took Tricare), I passed out, and put the car into gear, sending it up over a curb and into someone's front lawn. Thankfully, the car, the lawn, and my forehead were the only victims.
No words. When I am asked, I always say, " It is my understanding that you have to have sex to get pregnant. Since I never see my spouse and I do not be Iebe in immaculate conception, we can move on"
This blog is here for me to vent my frustration, usually at the Navy (since they're SO good at pissing me off). If you have a hankering for the dulcet posts of a June Cleaver Navy Wife, you're in the wrong place. If you dislike whining and snarking, hit your Back button now. Otherwise, welcome! Join the snarkfest and vent your angst.

Is that why they insist on asking me about my last period when I go in for an earache? So they can taunt me in case I have an unwanted pregnancy?
Yes.
I just threw up in my mouth. The Tricare Abortion Policy is exactly why we need Planned Parenthood.

Oh sweet zombie Jesus...I don't even know where to begin.
Well it's a good thing I don't count on the DoD to be any thing resembling pro-women, pro-choice or pro-progress. God bless Planned Parenthood.
