Opinions on abortion are strong indicators of psychopathy. Nobody against legal abortion has a functional moral sense. Some are just incredibly morally stupid. Others are religious zombies. But they’re all dangerous and fundamentally animalistic. We can coexist with these creatures, obviously — we already do. But the widespread delusion that they’re just like us has been incredibly dangerous and possibly world-ending. It’s no coincidence they’re the same “people” who support pollution and celebrate ecological depredation.

Its only a problem if influential white women die though.

It's almost like the decision to make the lives of actual people less important has consequences.

Exclusive analysis finds the rate of maternal deaths in Texas increased 56% from 2019 to 2022, compared with just 11% nationwide during the same time period.

Curious what the percent change is for just states that didn't implement abortion-restricting measures is...

Curious about why maternal death growing nation wide is a not seen has a problem.

Texas isn't a small state, population wise. If the rate rose dramatically (55%) for Texas, and similar rates occurred in other abortion banning states, that would likely account for the 11%.

Anyway, more to the point than just that, the people who care about that nationwide growth already care and are clamoring about it. They've been clamoring about it since Roe v Wade was overturned. The other half of the equation could care less about women, and the rising rate is probably making them smile.

Who doesn't consider it a problem?

People who hate women and children.

You know, Republicans.

People who don't know about it because it's not widely reported.

"We're saving innocent babies from the baby murdering liberals."

  • Christian conservative republicans.

That's by design.

Who could have possibly seen this coming.

Everything is bigger in Texas applies here, I suppose.
