Yep. Those GQP types all TALK a good talk but you have surely learned (heck, it’s even in the Christian bible) that it’s the ACTIONS that matter. In this particular case it’s very clear from their behavior that they oppose treating women as entirely human. No matter what they SAY.
Why does the US have the highest maternal mortality rate?“A high rate of cesarean sections, inadequate prenatal care, and elevated rates of chronic illnesses like obesity, diabetes, and heart disease may be factors contributing to the high U.S. maternal mortality rate.Apr 5, 2022
ACA coverage for birth control IS part of the answer. Repubs cut and slashed access and support, e.g. in WI the Repubs blocked Medicaid payments to Planned Parenthood for BC coverage and the abortion rate went UP when it had been going down for several years.
Jack’s list contains several things that could be addressed by health CARE instead of the health INSURANCE programs we have now.
Some states have put such restrictive laws in place that doctors are afraid to treat ectopic pregnancies or other problems like loss of all fluid until they are critical. One nimrod wanted to push a bill that mandated “moving” ectopic pregnancies to the uterus, which is not possible.
‘We Need to Get Our Numbers Up’: Boebert Complains Americans Own a Mere 46% of All Guns in the World
Rep. Lauren Boebert (R-CO) lamented the fact that Americans, who comprise just 4% of the global population, own 46% of the one billion civilian-owned firearms in the world.
Better birth control creates a lower abortion rate, obviously. The QOP hasn’t figured that out. I wonder if there is a correlation of unwillingness to use condoms and unwillingness to wear masks?
And Guv Greg has FAILED the foster children of Texas and FAILED to replace the well woman & child care previously provided by Planned Parenthood and FAILED to keep hospitals and emergency rooms available to rural Texans and FAILS to see the value of providing Medicaid & Medicare to the citizens of Texas; AND YET he is described as PRO-LIFE.
Maternal mortality rates increased during 1st year of COVID pandemic: CDCIn 2020, 861 U.S. mothers died, an increase of 14% from 754 deaths in 2019. 620,327 abortions were performed in 2020 in the USA. Any mother dying during pregnancy is horrible, but 861 compared to 620,327? Dang, Mr. Anderson that’s quite a reach for an proabortion argument.
having been born unwanted and unloved (to a republican family), I understand that most if not all of those children can look forward to pain and torture; still have scars from my mother using the cloth covered coffee pot cord to beat me on Friday after school, that way the scars would heal by Monday

Abbott will simply outlaw maternal mortality, and it won’t be a problem anymore.
At the very least, the dead women can be branded criminals who deserved what they got.

Tyre Nichols smeared on of them ‘pro life’ signs as well.

And you all think the answer is abortion?

Imagine if the “right” valued women half as much as their so-called “culture.”

Like democrats care about women’s health all they care about is butchering babies.
