    That’s important because if the person is pregnant, treatment with prescription medication can be fatal for the child. They usually ask about sexual activity because it’s possible the person doesn’t even know they’re pregnant.

    Men do not get asked this question because as you may or may not know, biological males are incapable of becoming pregnant. /s

      Yes, we know. That’s the joke. That theoretical unborn baby health comes before women.

      Because let’s say there’s a woman comes in, crispy, bloodier than a rare steak, limbs hanging at right ankles— Probably going into shock if she’s not already there. Baby or not, it dies if she dies.

      Now, let’s say she’s lucid. In the slim chance she’s got a surprise baby, what does her period have to do with that? Maybe it was four weeks ago but she’s been getting freaky with her knight honey, trying for a family of little squires. Or, let’s say she’s on birth control, or has an irregular period, onky dates women, or trans. A better question to ask is: “are you pregnant or could you be pregnant?” And still you’ve wasted five seconds while she’s bleeding out and her heart rate is crashing.

      It’s making fun of the dystopia for women that’s the culture and policy in some countries, not asking for an explanation.

        Yes, we know. That’s the joke. That online femenists care more about a theoretical woman that may or may not be pregnant but is dying than actual women that are pregnant.

        Because let’s say there’s a women comes in, pregnant, bigger than an elephant, belly button popped out — baby arms hanging from her vagina. Baby or not, it dies if she dies.

        Now let’s say she’s a drug addict. In the slim chance she’s sober, what does her period have to do with that? Maybe it was 21 weeks ago but she’s getting freaky with her drug dealer trying to score another ounce. Or let’s say she took the morning after pill or had an irregular period, only dates women, or is trans. A better question to ask is are you pregnant or could you be pregnant? And still you have wasted 5 seconds while she’s bleeding out and her heart rate is crashing.

        It’s making fun of the dystopia in internet culture and policy in some countries, not asking for an explanation.
