“I'm fortunate. I've always had medical care. I've always had access. I've never personally had to use a Planned Parenthood. But I have many friends who have and do and did, and I think it's important that that access be there for everyone.” ThinkingImportantUseCareAccessMedicalFortunateParenthoodMany FriendsPlanned ParenthoodMedical Care Author:Shonda Rhimes
“I read a lot of studies about the fact that there is a bias in the way health care is doled out, down to the fact that most medical studies are done on men, not women, so most dosages are planned for men, not women, and on and on. And more than that, women's pain is gauged differently and their complaints are received differently. And the idea that there's a place where you can go where everything is geared toward you, as a woman, is great. But it's a shame that we need to find places that are "safe" when the world, the whole world, should be a safe place.” MenWorldWayNeedsShouldIdeasDoneWholeFactsCarePainStudySafeShameMedicalWhole WorldHealth CareBiasComplaintsSafe PlacesDosage Author:Shonda Rhimes
“I think it's important for women to have a means to get health care. I think it's important that women have a place to go to get Pap smears and cancer screenings. And it shouldn't be considered extra. It shouldn't be considered something that can be "cut." It shouldn't be something that's in danger of going away. The idea that we're even thinking about cutting that off because somebody else isn't enjoying it themselves or somebody has extreme opinions about it is worrisome to me.” ThinkingMeanImportantIdeasCareEnjoyOpinionCuttingDangerCancerExtremesHealth CareExtrasGoing AwayScreeningPlaces To Go Author:Shonda Rhimes
“At the end of the day, when it comes down to it, all we really want is to be close to somebody. So this thing where we all keep our distance and pretend not to care about each other, it's usually a load of bull. So we pick and choose who we want to remain close to, and once we've chosen those people, we tend to stick close by. No matter how much we hurt them. The people that are still with you at the end of the day, those are the ones worth keeping. And sure, sometimes close can be too close. But sometimes, that invasion of personal space, it can be exactly what you need.” PeopleWantNeedsStillsEndsSometimesMatterCareHurtSpacePicksDistanceSticksChosenThe End Of The DayLoadBullsInvasionAnatomyGrey's AnatomyPersonal Space Author:Shonda Rhimes
