Infant mortality in Indiana 13th highest in the country. We didn't get a vote. Republicans made abortion illegal. They continue to dismantle education and childcare programs. Control over women's body is their goal not children.

Amd nearly all would support healthcare for miscarriages and ectopic pregnancies. These religious idiots are killing women.

Red states like these 7 listed are not enticing places to live or even visit. Most especially for women. Except for NOLA & Nashville, cities more liberal leaning, I don't see a draw. Utah's lost Sundance, so I can understand avoiding it. The whole country's now being looked at as a place to avoid.

What they should support is leaving women alone !

All those states are states that frankly could use more young people.

They all have aging populations and struggle for economic success.

This begs the question:
How much of it is personal regret over their own lack of reproduction?

Looking at those states, they are probably the leading states in inbreeding and first cousin marriages.

How about the majority that says mind your own fucking business?

Meanwhile, a recent study found that maternal mortality has risen in the US 25% over the past five years, despite best efforts to diminish reporting capacities of maternal mortality review boards. Abortion access support will continue to grow as the effects of these policies play out.

Alabama has had the strictest anti reproductive health laws (chemical endangerment since 2007, personhood amendment 2018, gag rule and total ban in 2022) and is 60% pro abortion in all or most circumstances. We learned fast.

not stirring outrage or spreading blame.

beesaid.bsky.social•10 days ago

100%

Absolutely. Alabama’s harsh anti-abortion laws backfired—despite years of extreme restrictions, the majority now support abortion rights. It shows people see through harmful policies and learn fast. Just like with Trump’s rants on the air disaster, real leadership means focusing on solutions

Feels like Republicans start these culture wars with policies that injure and maim people so the rich can rob us blind in the chaos.

edjessup.bsky.social•9 days ago

Most of those states have one thing in common...stupidity and ignorance.
