The West Wing
1999–2006
The Bartlet Administration. 💕
CJ and Josh help the president address the public over rising fuel prices and the president's part in controlling or influencing prices. Abbey works with a medical professionals' rights group to create a presentation for Congress on the importance of menstruation products being available for free, pap smears and HPV screenings being fully covered, and a guaranteed right to put one's own health and body first before any cell clumps.
(Including the right to make the choice to fight cancer rather than die pregnant. BECAUSE WE WOULDN'T WANT SOME STATE TO OUTLAW THE RIGHT OF A LIVING AMERICAN TO FIGHT CANCER FOR THEIR OWN SURVIVAL. NO, WE WOULDN'T LET SOME LAW EXIST THAT DECLARES A PERSON WITH A DEADLY DISEASE LOSES THE RIGHT TO TREATMENT IF THAT PERSON BECOMES PREGNANT- INCLUDING NOT BY CHOICE PREGNANCY- AND THEREFORE, THEY ARE CONDEMNED TO DEATH AS IS THE FETUS. AND NO, THEY AREN'T ALLOWED TO LEAVE THE STATE, EITHER. 😤 Can't imagine that happening 15 years or so after this show went off the air.)

Several States
Missouri
"laws that clearly violate an individual’s constitutional rights, rights that have been recognized and protected for decades, are now going into effect and impacting whether people can get care,” said Emily Wales, president and CEO of the Planned Parenthood affiliate."

While his wife is at it, the President presents a bill requiring any state that creates a law forbidding a pregnant person from leaving the state (for any reason, including possibly getting a medical procedure), must present that law in plain language to every potential person, and any family coming with them, who is being recruited to their state for research, employment, or schooling. They must be made aware that if they move to that state and become pregnant, they might not be protected by the laws of the United States.
Then another bill to declare that a miscarriage is "an act of God," and therefore may not legally be considered a crime. Any state found trying to subvert this is subject to a billion-dollar fine per incident. And EVERY penny of the fine is donated to Planned Parenthood. (That's Billion with B. 💰💸)
Then Bartlet and the crew go into the White House basement for a bowling tournament. Leo wins.
I'm visiting for the A to Z Road Trip. Since I never watched Gray's Anatomy, I made my way over to this post. Fun! I rewatched the whole series while listening to the West Wing Weekly podcast a few years ago.
