that video showed a doctor talking about and explaining hyste hysterectomy, the doctor made no mention of girls or minors and that post was accompanied with this text, boston children s hospital is offering gender affirming hysterectomies for young girls. we re seeing more facilities that provide gender affirming care. which is not just surgery at all. it is a multidisciplinary approach to caring for the transgender community coming under fire. massachusetts has very strong laws that protect and support the lgbtq plus community. but we have seen action in 15 other states to either implement or work to implement laws that would restrict access to this kind of care. that misinformation being amplified by a former top aide to president trump, we should mention. this is gaining a lot of traction. alexandra field, thank you for taking us through that. new details on the fiery
my bill is aiming to protect access, provide another layer of protection for abortion medication in states where abortion will still be legal after the supreme court, which appears to be on the precipice of getting rid of roe, that it will still be there. i think it s important to introduce this legislation to help people understand abortion medication, where it will still be legal and make sure people understand there s a lot of misinformation being put out there by republicans about this. we saw this in a committee i serve on just a couple weeks ago, trying to say it isn t safe, it s dangerous, and that isn t true. my bill will help to make that case and i hope expand access to this very important option for women in states where abortion will still be legal. just nine cases to go for this session for the supreme court. they re going to be making announcements today and monday. let s see how those go. i want to turn to another big topic in the news these days. that is the house jan
realtime. each phase of this is different and requires a different response and a different reaction. the communication has to change on a regular basis. what we had over the period of the last month when people were involved in holidays, hanukkah and christmas and trying to keep their lives organized is a lot of information coming out. i would hope that dr. wollensky and the cdc have a restart in january. i would urge them to do daily press conferences, daily releases. there s so much noise in this atmosphere. we have crank information coming from all sides. we have misinformation being willfully pushed on people. we have local and state governments disagreeing with the federal government. the cdc on a regular basis would become the public health
