This is so infuriating and tragic. Her poor family 😢

Just like Jesus wanted 🙏

It took 6 women dying under the right-wing Polish gov't's abortion ban before the people rose up and voted them out. I don't know if this is a deal breaker for Americans, though, who will shrug over Black women dying as long as gas and eggs are cheap.

Sad sad state of affairs. As an expat in France abortion rights here were recently written into the country’s constitution. All because of what’s happening in the states. French didn’t want to take a chance, some RW govt would strip women of basic healthcare rights. Shame on America!!!

rudelyvangelder.bsky.social•87 days ago

This is a country where gun sales and gun rights fundraising numbers go *up* after school shootings, so no — not a deal breaker.

The people of texas have said this is what they want. They vote for abbott, paxton, and trump. They vote for guns before anything. They vote for 1000/month electricity, after whining about freedom. And they choose an embryo over women. They used to do this in Europe too:

officerzack.bsky.social•86 days ago

I'm expecting a lot more people to flee red states quite a bit before Dump has his inauguration. Red states are the worst states to live in if you're pregnant, the Republicans will blame the doctors and the one who's carrying the pregnancy, but never will they call themselves bad guys.

booklover89.bsky.social•86 days ago

They don't care this is going get worse these people are too comfortable watching the out comd of these bans are allowing women to die

starblazers.bsky.social•86 days ago

Am noticing that most of them are women of color.
Not good.

i-gvf.bsky.social•87 days ago

Hey The Hague, have some guts.

eportraits.bsky.social•86 days ago

i rightly see the blame on abbott et al but why not the individual doctors too? are these ppl absolutely heartless? seems they just don’t care which is the opposite of the hippocratic oath (ffs they say they apply life saving care to murderers because of it)

baronwyn.bsky.social•86 days ago

When you are threatened with loss of your medical license, your family, your career, and your freedom on the basis of laws that were *deliberately written to be vague and not cover your backside in any situation, you will be very hesitant to risk all that. It's not doctors' fault. It's legislators'.

sugarcubedog.bsky.social•86 days ago

They’re afraid of being imprisoned.

eportraits.bsky.social•86 days ago

i know this, they’ve obeyed in advance.

sugarcubedog.bsky.social•86 days ago

There are fascists running the state and Paxton charges people at the drop of a hat. Like you I don’t understand how they can let women die. This is why doctors are fleeing these states.

cmrn1969.bsky.social•86 days ago

I have no words!!! 🤬🤬🤬

cutes118.bsky.social•86 days ago

Perhaps it’s time for Black women to consider leaving that pit. Seriously, let them have Texas because your life is worth more. Whomever wants to save that place let them, but not on the backs of Black women. This is criminal!

winstonsmithsghost.bsky.social•86 days ago

Well, at least the Catholic God is happy.

lorenv.bsky.social•87 days ago

Are the mayority of these preventable deaths have been of black women?!?!

arewetheryete.bsky.social•87 days ago

That's what it seems like. I don't think Republicans are too broken up about it.

sunnysky322.bsky.social•86 days ago

They truly seem to hate women.

kennarhi.bsky.social•86 days ago

GA folks who reported about preventing pregnancy complication deaths have been fired.

Women will continue to die, even if we no longer hear about it.

melbuns43.bsky.social•87 days ago

😢

proudmimi12.bsky.social•87 days ago

It's heartbreaking.

missusd53.bsky.social•87 days ago

This did not need to happen.

ml-overthepond.bsky.social•86 days ago

It's f'ing disgusting. Maga makes me 🤮 🤮 🤮 🤮 🤮 🤮

underbrush.bsky.social•87 days ago

The "Cheney affect" demands more blood. Cheney big GOP family values etc until his daughter came out. Now lesbians are "OK". Until this affects more people nothing changes. The clock is ticking in #texas until a husband starts shooting the hospital up after wife bleeds out.

pillybinger.bsky.social•86 days ago

Am seeing this correctly, that these abortion ban deaths are primarily black women??

Tragic...Abbott and Paxton need a heavy dose of karma, immediately.

rmboehmpoet.bsky.social•86 days ago

Yes, this is insanity. Christian insanity. What am I saying: Jesus would never let anyone die if he could help it.

allie220.bsky.social•86 days ago

mpgutis.bsky.social•86 days ago

Another notch on their belts for Abbott and Paxton. How pleased they must be.

jayhferguson.bsky.social•86 days ago

Giddy!

anilsaxena.bsky.social•87 days ago

Here’s the sad truth. This is not about health or safety, it’s about power. In business , some organizations are demanding that their employees return to the office. Although, there is zero proof that this has any positive impact on any real Measure that matters to a business. Both about power

anilsaxena.bsky.social•87 days ago

This is a blatant attempt to infuse beliefs into something that requires facts, data, and science. When we legislate or lead based on theocracy or “feelings”, we get harm. So sad.

It's horrible 😔

rubydiamonds.bsky.social•87 days ago

Why was she not transported to New Mexico, where common sense still prevails?

morgalyn.bsky.social•86 days ago

It was Houston. Driving to New Mexico would have taken too long; flight times are over an hour, but whether you could actually do that while going through this? Unlikely.

rubydiamonds.bsky.social•85 days ago

Which is why we need an underground network

scooter10.bsky.social•86 days ago

Unbelievably, this is what the voters wanted.

lmpollard.bsky.social•86 days ago

"Abbott and Paxton kill another woman." Fixed that headline for ya.

samsepi01.bsky.social•87 days ago

I would not be mentally stable if this shit happened to the woman I loved. But that's what we do in this country. Push people past their breaking point, then to advance political ideology, label them as a terrorist after they break.

lindarosemoniak.bsky.social•86 days ago

Of course another preventable miscarriage.

ducklady.bsky.social•86 days ago

Miscarriages happen quit often for various reasons but there is no reason they should result in unnecessary death of the mother due to these archaic laws brought back by the Republicans.

caityc.bsky.social•84 days ago

Do please put the event date in the blurb — thank you for your work highlighting these issues.

Trumpians and their party of death. Prolife my ass. #RESIST

samspade1941.bsky.social•87 days ago

They believe in the sacred life of the fetus.

But not the life of the child that comes out of it.

msrobin58.bsky.social•86 days ago

They knew these laws would harm women, and they passed them anyway, just to be spiteful.

drtrey.bsky.social•84 days ago

Cruelty is always the point.

mchildress46.bsky.social•86 days ago

Am I noticing that these women are all if not mostly women of color?

rodneyb34.bsky.social•86 days ago

I followed you if you’d like to follow back!

traumamomma.bsky.social•86 days ago

Blood on the republicans hands

katzilla01.bsky.social•86 days ago

I thought about this and I'm not making a judgement cuz nobody can walk in another's shoes, but if I were a pregnant woman living in Texas, I'd be looking for a friendly state to move to. And I do know that this is hard to do if there are other children involved, husband's job.

jayhferguson.bsky.social•86 days ago

My privileged self is going to be fine. I'm white, male and have the money to live anywhere I want, so when I vote, I try to elect people who are going to help the marginalized communities-the ones who need help or just equality.

ecjack.bsky.social•83 days ago

The men of the United States White Supremist court is as responsible for the deaths of these woman as thier " pro Life" donors.🤬

Evil fucks

timothyjones.bsky.social•86 days ago

Malpractice...pure and simple

bjbrit.bsky.social•86 days ago

Magat Republicans don't care about women, and certainly not black women. They are the super racists, which is kind of funny because we've all seen them. 🗑🗑🗑🗑🗑🗑🗑

purplesage23.bsky.social•87 days ago

Isn’t there a central investigation/reporting on these tragedies so we can see actual statistics
My heart goes out to these women and their families and friends
