wtf, Texas
Is even this politicized?
It may never be known exactly how many Texas women have died as a result of the state’s abortion restrictions … And the state is not trying to find out. The Texas Maternal Mortality and Morbidity Review Committee, the body responsible for investigating maternal deaths, has announced it is not investigating cases from 2022 and 2023, including the immediate aftermath of the state’s almost-total abortion ban.
Texas is NOT a red state. It’s gerrymandered to hell.
Shouldn’t that mean their semators would be blue?
And about to get even worse.
The statistics show worse outcomes for black women in abortion restricted states. There are so many deaths from the hands of Republicans. It is insane that they are supported by so many people in this country.
Just a different type of genocide.
Is even this politicized?
It always was… this was never about children or life. It has ever and always been about control. The death of these women is, at best, incidental, and at worst, intentional.
American conservatives are batsit insane. Even conservatives in other developed countries won’t even subvert the law on allowing abortion on the grounds of health and safety of both the child and mother.
Direct link without Apple redirect
Thanks. Is there a common way to de-apple such a link or did you have to search for the original article?
It’s automatic in this case.
There are browser addons to skip redirects, but I don’t know how well they work.For sharing from Apple News, instead of using the share button (if that’s what you did) I guess you could open the link in a browser first, let it redirect and then copy the original URL.
Christian values at its finest here.
I wonder how many Savita Halappanavar’s (she died from complications post miscarriage in Ireland in 2012) there need to be in the world before people pull their heads out of their asses and let women have true bodily autonomy and give them the care that goes along with that?
Like, whether you take the Hippocratic Oath, the WHO’s Oath, Lasagna’s Oath (yes, it’s a thing - one of the revisions of the Hippocratic Oath in the 20th century done by a man who’s last name was Lasagna), or any of the other versions that are out there, the one unifying factor is that as a medical professional you swear to not harm your patients. This is harming patients. They are breaking their oaths and should have their licenses revoked for intentional malpractice.
Texas, the bastion of democracy. Right alongside Alberta, and the rest of the South.
2A for all… Texas loves their guns
This is what you voted for protest-non-voters.
Thats not how words work
Sounds like people trying to get out of protest-non-voting in Trump.
I know the english language is hard and actually pretty crappy. Saying a person who refused to support evil in all forms voted for evil by not voting is a logical fallacy.
It’s also basically victum shaming.Says the guy that is also being obtuse (see other reply).
Funny you’re worried about victims when you, presumably, protest-no-voted for this.
That is how winner-take-all FPTP voting works, yes. You’re not actually voting for the person you mark on the ballot, but rather against everyone else. So by not voting at all, you are supporting everyone on the ballot equally, which, given that one of the candidates is a fascist rapist fraudster, isn’t quite the burn that this shitpost meme thinks it is.
So you are saying that by not voting, you voted for everyone. That’s a new to me take. Sounds like you are also saying that there is no way to not vote for at least someone. And if so, then there should be no blame for someone who refuses to participate in a corrupt system.
What if all the cadadites were fascists. Plenty people here would say anyone supporting a fascist is a fascist, so if you can’t not vote for anyone, then you are a fascist for existing.So you are saying that by not voting, you voted for everyone.
Literally not what they said. They said “supporting,” which is different. One doesn’t need to vote in order to support. But by giving equal support to all candidates, you bear some tiny responsibility for whoever wins regardless of whether the winning candidate is “good” or “bad.”
Basically your abdicating control of your responsibility to everyone else, but that doesn’t make you any less responsible for it.
Fair point on the word mistake.
But the rest of my point stands. No matter who you vote for you are supporting something evil. And you are saying that not voting is supporting something evil. So a person is just evil for existing. That makes all citizen who are allowed to vote evil. And if that is what you saying, then who cares. Everyone is evil no matter what they do.
It’s --almost like-- we live in a world that not black & white and people have to make the best choices they can under the circumstances
Exactly. And if in thier opinion, not voting, or 3rd party voting is the best choice, we shouldn’t claim they supported someone who clearly goes against thier beliefs simply because the system was setup to give them no good choices.
This is beyond stupid. The Drumpf era has taught me to loathe “both siders” and fence sitters. This current evil is definitely on THEM !!! There are degrees of evil. Support the least evil in elections, and agitate for better candidates between elections. Just ignoring it all and not voting, makes you complicit with any bad outcome, no matter what mental gymnastics you can perform.
Removed by mod
Then trump has won you. He needs people like you to keep his enemies fractured and disorganized. Great job helping him out.
Begin mental gymnastics.
Not sure which side you are on, but the responses so far have been full of mental gymnastics for sure.
Now being obtuse. Yup. Keep doing your gymnastics.
Well good riddance, those baby murdering criminals!
/S
What a shithole
Disgusting. And these scumbags are fine with it too.
The Deregulated Bible Banging Texas Oblast and their shitty healthcare system.
