U.S. Infant Deaths Rose After Fall of Roe v. Wade

Monday, October 21, 2024

In the year and a half following the Supreme Court Dobbs decision that revoked the federal right to an abortion, hundreds more infants died than expected in the United States, new research shows. The vast majority of those infants had congenital anomalies, or birth defects.

To once again reiterate what has happened since Dobbs:

1. the rate of abortions has increased
2. the effort and cost to obtain an abortion has increased
3. the danger to women from pregnancy has increased
4. the rate of born children has decreased
5. the number of women choosing permanent contraception (i.e. tubal ligation) has increased
6. the number of newborns dying has increased.

I am not sure how the increase in infant deaths could be considered unexpected though.

Women are frightened of seeking medical care because the MAGA boogeyman is real.

Thank Biden, Harris and Fauci.

Once again we see how right wingers care more about the abstract unborn than they do about the people who are actually among us.

The God they believe in is an abstraction. Other humans who they do not know are just an abstraction. Unfortunately for all of us, the idea of unborn babies is a more poignant abstraction in their minds.

Good job MAGAT murderers.

is this from same sources that David Muir used in debate about crime stats/

or jobs stats ? couple of months later when the results all change ??

or maybe something from the 51 former spies "laptop experts ?

--still can't and wont take anything serious when it comes to stats and the leftist-dogma KLAN.

Good job MAGAT murderers.

MAGA is murdering or abetting the murder of women as we speak.

MAGA has this fetish for seeing themselves as being heroes, no matter what you do.

I haven't seen any bad thing you people haven't justified once it gave you an advantage to justify it.

"Babies" the way you people wield the term---like a bludgeon or a hatchet---is a political abstraction you use to seize power from your neighbors. Just and exactly as you use "race".

If I read you correctly, and you know I do, then you are using "babies" as a weapon to remove women from the vote.

Like I said, if you see an advantage in something then you in MAGA will do it. In other words, you are the criminals you think are sneaking up on you from south of the border, or Haiti.

Eat some dogs. We know that you do.

What kind of **cked-up world does visitor_ live in?

He actually believes that a woman would carry a wanted child for 6, 7, 8, even 9 months, and then callously she decides to abort said wanted child, because just exactly why?

The reason why is that visitor_ and his ilk believe that women are just too stupid to leave their health care in the hands of the people who actually know what's going on: the woman and her health care provider This includes the decision to abort a child.

So, since visitor_ and his ilk believe that they know what's best for women - women they will never meet and never know - they want the government in the same room as the woman and her health care provider. And why is that? It is because they can't be there themselves.

That's the kind of **cked-up world visitor_ and his ilk long to live in.

Trump Suggests Abraham Lincoln Should've Let the South Keep a Little Slavery (october 18, 2024)
www.vanityfair.com

... Donald Trump appeared on Fox News this morning, where, during a characteristically bizarre interview, he suggested Abraham Lincoln could have avoided the Civil War by cutting a deal with the South"which, as a reminder, wanted slavery to remain legal.

Asked by a 10-year-old who his favorite president was when he was "little," Trump began by saying he "liked Ronald Reagan." (Note: Trump was 34 when Reagan first took office, and 42 when he left.) Then he turned to Lincoln, who he believes was a great president"but could've been better if he'd "settled" the Civil War.

"Great presidents?" Trump said. "Lincoln was probably a great president, although I've always said, why wasn't that settled? You know, I'm a guy that -- it doesn't make sense we had a Civil War ... . You'd almost say, like, why wasn't that [settled]? ...

fmr Pres Trump is his full-transaction mode. Settle and move on, don't fight for what is right in the long term.
