    I really hate upvoting such a tragedy but this really needs more attention

    Yes, the states with the highest infant mortality, are also the states that have outlawed abortions

    Because I have a dark sense of humor.

    Leopards are eating veal.

    Bit in all seriousness, while this is absolutely horrible it’s just honestly expected.

    Mississippi health officials declared a public health emergency last week in response to the state’s rising infant mortality rate.

    Doctor Dan Edney said the best way to reduce infant mortality is by improving maternal health. “That means better access to prenatal and postpartum care, stronger community support and more resources for moms and babies,” Edney wrote.

    Mississippi: “Not like that.”

    Good.

    I guess.

    I don’t care about the human lives in those states anymore. You live there? Leave. You can’t? You can. Make it happen. Walk if you have to, leave. You stay, it’s up to you.

    Anyone remaining in those shit holes gets what they’re owed.

      As a leftist with conservative parents, maybe this opinion could be reconsidered.

      My parents are conservative and I have the exact opposite political beliefs. People aren’t born conservative, they are taught it. Wishing death on infants is just fucked up no matter how you look at it.

          You know who else celebrates the death of children that they don’t like? Israel. Don’t you fucking dare pass judgement on children without understanding the consequences of that mentality. Be mad at the people that got them killed, not the victim.

            I really am finding hard to shed a tear for the same people that want to stone homosexuals, want to murder Liberals, and are driving medical professionals out of the state causing this issue because of their fucked up policies.

              Do the infants have that mentality? Sure, their parents are fucked up people, but do the infants deserve to die for the actions of their parents? Do I deserve to die because my dad voted for Trump? I was an infant once, too.

              I’m not saying you have to shed a tear for the people that caused this. But not shedding a tear for innocent children that are the victims is a slippery slope you do not want to go down, my friend.

                  Yeah, they would. Not the politicians or hardcore MAGA people online, but the people in my community that overwhelmingly voted for trump definitely would. The majority of them are radicalized and indoctrinated, not evil. My parents voted for Trump but I don’t think they’d celebrate my death just because of what I voted for.

                  You are lost, my friend. I hope you find your way that doesn’t involve being happy when children die. If your fight against radicalization turns you into a radical yourself the only thing you’ll accomplish is moving the target.

      Fewer conservatives.

      Because of the obesity in Mississippi there isn’t “less” conservatives.

      The data also show that the Black infant mortality rate in Mississippi was more than twice as high as the mortality rate for white infants in 2024.

      Might not be conservatives there, m8
