There will be many more, I'm afraid. The administration will belittle common sense efforts by families and communities to slow the spread with masks, etc. And the government will drag its feet to act and mislead us.

It's like Déjà vu all over again.

So they ARE killing the babies after birth.

#htoughtsandprayers?

Not really sure what to say here. How many deaths will it take for people to wake up. They haven't with gun violence so why would this change anything.

Is it just me or does “officials say” seem unnecessary here? I guess it’s better than the usual “liberal critics say”

It was never about the children.

So when a woman miscarries in Texas she can be brought up on charges but when parents fail to protect their child at the basic level of care they are not?

ginloula.bsky.social•5 days ago

Very sad. Didn’t need to happen. Ignorance killed the child.

ripstash.bsky.social•5 days ago

Can’t wait for the executive order to rename measles to Freedom Sores.

If Abortion is murder what is this??

farmhousechic.bsky.social•5 days ago

Somebody needs to tell me how to feel about this because no matter what I'm going to be wrong.

jpkennedy22.bsky.social•5 days ago

Thoughts and prayers are no doubt forthcoming from the state house. Don't expect anything else.

jpkennedy22.bsky.social•5 days ago

Hey Texas, where's your governor? Oh that's right. He's busy making sure a non-existent trans boy can't play on your daughter's softball team. Pay attention to what they do--or don't, in this case: protect your children's health--and not what they say. If their lips are moving they are lying to you.

What are texas parents afraid of, autism?? Autism probably would make your kid smarter than the average texan.

Parents should be charged criminally.

therealzachmann.bsky.social•5 days ago

Charge the parents with murder.

cskritthnkr.bsky.social•5 days ago

Oh well…fafo

Ignorance kills. Maybe listen to doctors and experts not Facebook and TikTok. The world is filled with stupid people with strong opinions. Don’t listen to them.

"Abortion is murder," but this isn't?

Polio Bob this death is on you @robertkennedyjr @alt-hhs.bsky.social

No. This death is on Trump. RFK Jr. is just a vessel for Trump's idiocy.

sloanthenavigator.bsky.social•5 days ago

Trump used to be pro-vaccine. He literally developed and cut the red tape for the COVID shots. Really shows how much the MAGA snake is leading itself without its head (and the head is merely a follower now)

Disinformation is deadly

Or raptured

keblevins57.bsky.social•5 days ago

I wonder if that is a consoling thought to the parents of that one child?

aprilblue57.bsky.social•5 days ago

Are the parents being charged with manslaughter?
The mother would be charged with murder if she had an abortion. So, don't get an abortion. Just have a child and kill them later! Totally legal!
