Сегодня семейная "сходка" затянулась на пару часов. Планы на год - это интересно. Но сложно. Тем не менее, основу накидали, в ближайшие недели конкретизируем (SMART же) и "погнали делать нашу жизнь лучше". Накидали максимум от каких-либо ремонтов и до увлечений. :)
Конечно, будет что-то незапланированное. Год - слишком большой срок. Но костяк как отправная точка останется и, надеюсь, подводить итоги года будет не менее забавно, чем в этом году.
За интересный 2026 год!

Um, so, make #FamilyPlanning and #Abortions illegal, force women to give birth, take away affordable health care, and then freeze #Childcare funds! As I've said before, #ProBirth is NOT #ProLife!

But modern advancements and a lack of awareness may spare newborn baby girls the “hinoe uma” stigma this time around. https://www.japantimes.co.jp/life/2025/12/20/lifestyle/fire-horse-baby-superstition-2026ha-fire-horse-baby-superstition/?utm_medium=Social&utm_source=mastodon #life #lifestyle #depopulation #parenthood #familyplanning

#Maine #FamilyPlanning will close its primary care practice at end of October
#MainePublic | By Patty Wight
Published October 1, 2025"Maine Family Planning says it cannot sustain its primary care practice beyond this month.
"The nonprofit says it faced an impossible decision after losing $2 million in #Medicaid funding under a new federal law. That means 800 patients in #Aroostook and #Hancock counties will now need to find new primary care providers.
"The law bans health providers who also offer #abortions from being reimbursed by Medicaid.
“ 'The cruel and dangerous law has put us in an impossible situation,' President and CEO George Hill said in a written statement. 'Discharging and turning away vulnerable patients strikes at the very heart of MFP’s reputation as a trusted community provider that has been able to serve patients of any means for more than 50 years.'
"As a result, #MaineFamilyPlanning says they've been providing primary care to Medicaid patients in #EllsworthME, #HoultonME, and #PresqueIsleME free of charge since July."

Please copy and paste into the forms on the websites of your members of Congress and share with friends.
Dear Senator / Representative -
I want you to get Title X funding for low cost family planning restored immediately.
Last week almost everyone who worked for the Department of Health and Human Services’ Office of Population Affairs was emailed a reduction-in-force notice. The Title X program, in place for more than 50 years, had already been targeted for elimination under the administration's 2026 budget proposal, but this Republican Administration decided to end the $300 million family planning program without notice last week.
For the cost of one of DHS's new jets, millions of women who depend on this Title X program for affordable birth control could have peace of mind, ensuring that every child is a planned for and wanted child.
Please use the power of your office to get this program restored. It is vital to the health and safety of women across the county.

BTW, you should know that the $377 million U.S. cut to UNFPA (United Nations Population Fund, the global org’s women’s reproductive care agency) funding this year is COSTING LIVES.
Women and girls across the globe — including pregnant women, mothers, and young girls — face higher risks of maternal death and unintended pregnancy while childbirth care is disrupted, contraception becomes scarce, and services for survivors of violence shrink. Adolescent girls are robbed of education, forced into child marriages, and brutalized by female genital mutilation.
In regions impacted by conflict, climate emergencies, and humanitarian disasters, UNFPA-supported clinics are being forced to close or reduce safe deliveries and emergency obstetric care. #TrumpAdministration #RepublicansDidThis #RepublicansOwnThis #women #girls #OBGYN #UNFPA #FamilyPlanning -

The new order replaces a previous edict handed down by U.S. District Judge Indira Talwani in Boston last week. Talwani initially granted a preliminary injunction specifically blocking the #Trump admin from cutting #Medicaid payments to #PlannedParenthood members that didn’t provide #abortion care or didn’t meet a threshold of at least $800,000 in Medicaid reimbursements in a given year.

Koskenoja, Harriman, & other local #healthcare providers have been strategizing privately to figure outwhat to do to help people #access everything from #PapSmears to #IUDs. The local #health dept can provide #TitleX #FamilyPlanning services 1½ days a week, but that won't be enough.
There are a few private "providers in town that offer #medication #abortion to their #patients only—very, very quietly," Harriman said. But that won't help patients who don't have good #insurance or are on waitlists. -
Clinics are also bracing for the #Trump admin to again exclude them from #TitleX, the federal #funding for low- & no-cost #FamilyPlanning services, as the previous Trump admin did in 2019.
#PlannedParenthood of #Michigan (#PPMI) says the cuts are painful but necessary for the organization's long-term sustainability.
