Sadly, this has been going on for far longer than states wants to admit. In 2007, I almost died when I lost my son in utero. I sat in a hospital bed for over 3 days to “Give birth naturally” I ended up almost bleeding to death until a Doctor said that he had enough of the lack of care & saved me.
This past July, I watched the same thing happen to my oldest daughter. She was on the verge of sepsis and even when I pleaded with her obstetricians, they did nothing. If she wouldn’t have delivered her daughter when she did. I would have had to bury not just one, but two.
Republican / MAGA controlled states will do anything to hide the truth. The abortion ban (fetal heartbeat, six-week, and other variations) are designed to control and persecute women for wanting to make decisions for themselves. Hiding the truth is the only way they can justify doing wrong.
The number of women dying as a result of extreme abortion bans is deeply concerning and highlights significant problems in our health care system and political landscape.😶
Someone on YouTube insisted that these girls and women did not die because medical care professionals were not allowed to save their lives. I gave to the bastard the names of over a dozen, and he still insisted they chose to die. ARGH!
Said this 2 years ago on twitter over there that Texas was killing women and it's taken this long for even a hint of the reality to come out Draconian abortion laws prevent women from getting the healthcare that in most cases saves their lives Plus infant and maternal mortality up can't hide that.
The comment I responded to seemed to be chastising people for not doing anything, if you're gonna shame people for lack of activity you should have more of a list than "let history be my guide". I say this with good intentions, it isn't productive to shame people for helplessness.
You should read into what my above comment means.
If you have good intentions, you should prepare for the worst.
My comments were also aimed at the corporate Democratic Party which I have defended for the last election. Harris has proven unless & refused to defend her claim.
If I can admit that States need to be 100% transparent in reporting any connections between "abortion bans" and deaths. . . we can also acknowledge the fact that many (if not all) of these women who are named in this video actually did in fact have an abortion. . . But the abortion went wrong.
This is sick. And right on brand for republicans. If men were the ones dying from pregnancies, they’d be screaming from the rooftops & getting all kinds of care.
Will never forgive the women who voted for Donald Trump, the 53 or 52%. Never. I don’t want to be associated with them. I want nothing to do with those types of women, Harris was the only president that talked about maternal death rate for black women this issue with abortion healthcare. 💔💔💔💔💔
They really hate us 😔 I’ll never understand. We are daughters, sisters, mothers, grandmother, aunties & often the backbone of the family! Women’s Rights are Human Rights.
Is there a place where a woman's family could report a death or serious injury? Like to the AMA? We must find a way to report this or for doctors to report.
How did we get here,? That a woman's life is nothing compared to a embryo. People don't understand this is happening or don't care until it affects them. 😭
They need to go to jail for this, what are families of these women doing about it, tie up the fucking courts with lawsuits people. Do not let them get away with this.
I don’t want to hear another damn word about “the swamp” when American women are being put in THE BONEYARD! And both those young women spoken of lived in my state 💔
I was a teen in the 70's. It's stunning how may girls had complications from appendicitis. Also the girls who 'accidentally' fell down a flight of stairs, who were actually thrown down a flight of stairs by scared daddies trying to end the pregnancies. Only now are they sharing their truths.
The most disturbing aspect of fascism in the USA will be the number of people who have been adequately warned who are then shocked when fascists carry through w/ their plans.
You can't reason w/ fascists. You can only end fascists.
In 1985 the maternal death rate was seven per 100,000 pregnancies. Today it is 21 per hundred thousand pregnancies. The United States is the only country in the world that is having an increase in them maternal mortality rate.
Every fucking time. And not just deaths from abortion bans! Who can forget about red States pressuring doctors and hospitals to underreport COVID infections and deaths? Or when Trump himself said that by decreasing testing, cases would go down?
And now, whenever a whistleblower org like ProPublica reports on Republican wrongdoers, Trump wants the power to force journalists to give up their sources!
It's going to be up to the families to report their loss. And Republicans will bully them into silence, but we know from current lawsuits that it won't keep the bereaved down for long. Just might have to crowd source funding for the lawsuits.
That is not going to help. Most women that are pregnant are youngish and they are often not politically aware, especially married traditional women And they are at the highest risk because they don't know how unsafe they are
Sadly this isn’t surprising. These are the same states that disregarded Covid protocols & then dismantled the state agencies that reported death rates. They don’t care who dies as long as their donors & churches policies are met. Everyone else is on their own.
No need to even sugar coat it that much. These women were murdered by Fascists running my state. 'twas Kemp's heartbeat bill, 1st thing he did
(& yes, idiot "liberals" decided Kemp "wasn't so bad" & let him coast to a second term rather than getting Abram's back. I'm NEVER forgiving them for that)
Kind of like when they covered up COVID19 deaths.
Imo, if *journalists* care about doing *journalism*, they can certainly pick up this dropped baton and attempt to keep the public informed.
Yes these red States are fantastic at killing maternal mothers and killing new borns. The fact is that the rates are increasing since Roe vs Wade was repealed. California is trying to reduce its maternal death rate 50%. They are #1 in least death, about 50% less than the National average.
It is their way. Abbott suppressed the release of Texas maternal mortality rates during his re election campaign period purposely because he feared losing. Evil.
As someone who formerly lived and Texas and Tennessee it won’t. When their teenagers get pregnant they’ll take a vacation to Cancun and get them abortions at the American hospital there and bully their older kids into marriage to avoid eternal damnation. White evangelicalism is a mass cult.
Republicans are quite deliberately trying to increase maternal, infant & childhood death rates because they think it will make the 19th century come back.
OBGyns fleeing these states is the only way something might change. If women can't get baby doctors they will start pushing back. Of course, in the short term that is going to harm women and babies, but it is a natural consequence of these laws over time anyways

Holy Hell's Bells !
As if women dying from lack of urgent miscarriage care isn't enough, these puerile prigs are trying to COVER UP their medical malpractice...

They dress it up in religious language because “God wills it” has gotten good people to do awful things since the Crusades.
How can people be so stupid
