Because woman's health does not matterI take methotrexate to control my Rhumatoid. I was told today I could not be prescribed it any longer as I am viably fertile and it is a medication that can be used for abortion.

So now, women are forbidden from receiving FDA approved treatments for FDA approved purposes completely unrelated to pregnancy.
If a man had the same condition, there would be no question of his receiving treatment, because he has a right to appropriate treatment, but a woman has no rights to anything.
This was always going to happen when they repealed Roe v. Wade.
Unfortunately, Republicans embraced the assault on abortion rights as a proxy for racism, and Democrats embraced doing nothing, because it aided in their fund raising efforts and their electoral strategy, (such as it is) so nothing was done.
The Democratic Party establishment (There is no Democratic Party establishment) simply did not care enough to take definitive action.
The lesser of two evils is still evil
