Agreed. The sort of reductionist takes in here that blame education or illiteracy indicate a lack of experience.
Unfortunately in these borderline cases the only way to know for sure is to wait a few days and try again or set up a doctor's appt to get a better test.
- maweki 5y agoHaving these additional few days or not having them is incredibly important, depending on your jurisdiction. In Germany, for example, for abortion (without medical indication) to be penalty-free you have to have a so called "pregnancy conflict counselling session" and the doctor's appointment all within a certain timespan. Now during covid, many of those doctors and the counselling services did not operate or only in a diminished capacity. Those few days are nothing to sneer at. Of course, another solution would be better/non-penalized access to these services and better preventative health care. But we're getting nowhere by just pointing at root causes without the radical action to change them.
