Angie said. 'But there's so many women like I've heard some absolute horror stories where elective surgery is getting [cancelled]… like their insides are literally falling out of their vaginas and they're like, "oh no, that's elective". It's like, I sometimes I feel like we're living in Handmaid's Tale.' 'And I'm like, why are women… it's like we're less than and you see it more when you're in a global pandemic because you just see what actually is classified elective. And it's just it shouldn't be.'
