Here’s your friendly reminder that bodily autonomy doesn’t begin or end at reproductive rights. It includes the right to use (ALL) drugs/substances. Everyone uses drugs.

Agreed, but the hypocrisy here is completely absurd. Maybe y’all should pump the breaks and take your own advice for a change. ASAM - don’t mess around with psych & disabled pts chronic pain care! @ibdgirl76 @billkinkle @aftariak.
Congress – don't mess around with Medicaid & addiction care! . 📝Urge your Senators to protect Medicaid for Americans living with addiction, their families, and their communities > >
