President Joe Biden signed an executive order Monday aimed at advancing the study of women’s health by strengthening data collection and providing better funding opportunities for biomedical research while chiding Republicans for having “no clue about the power of women” but saying they’re “about to find out” come November’s election.
Women’s health has long been underfunded and understudied. It wasn’t until the 1990s that the federal government mandated women be included in federally funded medical research; for most of medical history, though, scientific study was based almost entirely on men.
“We still know too little about how to effectively prevent, diagnose and treat a wide array of health conditions in women,” said Dr. Carolyn Mazure, the head of the White House initiative on women’s health.
Today, research often fails to properly track differences between women and men, and does not represent women equally particularly for illnesses more common to them — which Biden suggested his order would help change.
starting to feel like Roe v. Wade falling was a purposeful bipartisan act
Republican Pro Life Camp yells yay abortion is gone
Democrat For Women’s Reproductive rights go yay something to fight for
never winning with this way already feeling like the rest of our lives will be just fighting for what they take and voting the people in who do it because they promise to fix it
tired of just fighting why can we not just fucking fix shit
