In 2021, under the guise of preserving life, Texas politicians enacted the country’s most radical abortion ban. Since then, mothers and infants have died at alarming rates, and infertility, STDs, and complications have increased. @thebarbedwire.bsky.social

Need more Accountability and Action - IMHO
Surprise! They never cared about babies. They never cared about women. They never cared about girls. They care about power.
The annual fatality rate for cops is about 14/100k. So a woman in labor in TX is facing over twice the risk as an on duty cop.
And cops can't be forced to risk their life against their will, even to save a child.
Shame on Texas.

Thank you for updating us, painful though it unavoidably is.
More babies are dying: In fact, infants are dying in Texas at a greater rate than anywhere else in the country. Researchers at Johns Hopkins found infant deaths increased from 1,985 to 2,240 between 2021 and 2022 in Texas. That’s a 12.9% increase, compared to a 1.8% increase nationally.
Conservatives countered Black Lives Matter with All Lives Matter, but it was always clear that was insincere.
No Lives Matter is considered to be an Alt Right hate group, when in fac, it's the actual policy.
They will sacrifice anyone for political clout.
Millions of anyones
They don't care that doctors left the state or that babies or mothers are dying; that is the "cost" of "saving" aborted babies.
