"Texas’ abortion restrictions - some of the strictest in the country - may be fueling a sudden spike in infant mortality as women are forced to carry nonviable pregnancies to term.
Some 2,200 infants died in Texas in 2022 - an increase of 227 deaths, or 11.5%, over the previous year, according to preliminary infant mortality data from the Texas Department of State Health Services that CNN obtained through a public records request. Infant deaths caused by severe genetic and birth defects rose by 21.6%. That spike reversed a nearly decade-long decline. Between 2014 and 2021, infant deaths had fallen by nearly 15%."

You see you have to be in a legitimate echo chamber bubble if you cannot ascertain the motivations of women who vote differently than you. I understand my opposition and why the way they vote as they do because I have an insight into their psychology and what gives them meaning. These other women that you don't understand have a different philosophical understanding of the world than you do. They questioned just as intensely why anyone would vote Democrat when they want to allow for the genocide of The unborn, many look at you like a Neo-Nazi because they see you as an enabler of a genocide. Course there's a lot of different perspectives around why various women vote for the GOP. Some are dissatisfied with their anti-white rhetoric, some are invested in owning firearms to protect themselves from domestic abuse, some prefer a low-tax position. There are endless reasons why a woman would vote for the GOP. There are things I like about both parties and things I criticized about both but understanding your opposition and empathizing with them is incredibly important.

Many years ago my baby had the exact same diagnosis. At that time of course abortion was legal and my doctors were kind and supportive. I went into hospital three days later where I was treated respectfully and safely delivered my baby boy. He passed during the delivery. His situation was dire and he would not have survived. The hospital gave me a copy of his precious little footprints. I can't begin to tell you how devastating the situation was for me, my husband and family. My older child was waiting for her sibling, the nursery was ready.... etc. If I had been told at that terrible moment that there was nothing anyone could do and I needed to just go home and wait, weeks maybe months, until I went into labor - it could have well sent me into a very unwell mental state. After the procedure my doctors were able to tell me that I was physically fine and they saw no reason that I couldn't have more children in the future, which was very comforting.

@@reginafetty6374 Yup! I saw a video of a woman testifying in front of Texas state congress, I believe, who went through this very thing, and she said that she doesn't know if she'll able to have another baby again after that. From Congressmen that asked, "If a woman swallows a pill with a camera (for a colonoscopic type investigation), are you able to see her pregnancy?" They don't understand female physiology, let alone have a medical degree, and yet they're making ignorant laws dictating how and when medical procedures are to be performed and wonder why there's backlash! They're literally killing people with these laws, because none of the doctors want to be sued. They don't understand that complications like this are some of the legitimate, unpreventable challenges that lead to so many dying in childbirth a century or so, before medicine got as sophisticated as it is now.

[@PickledPixiePie]

The worst part is that I understand how quickly a body will bloat and experience liquifaction at room temperature. I can just IMAGINE how fast it happens at 98 degrees, and these women are walking around for WEEKS if not MONTHS with this baby inside of her. It's no surprise that people are getting sepsis and possibly dying. This should be considered medical malpractice. Some doctor needs to study this and testify in front of congress with all the facts; pictures or it didn't happen. I want them to vomit on C-SPAN, and maybe then, they'll realize their folly.

[@mjbgdaad5624]

Guys, this is made up. The actual horror stories are having to wait until the fetal heartbeat stops, then it can be removed even in TX or FL. That is still horrible and still causes physical trauma to the mother. ...But if you make s#!t up you are as bad as the redumblicans.

And then they have to pay thousands more for a funeral. Even without a funeral, cremation or traditional preparation of the body and a crazy expensive coffin have to be bought. All the while the mother is dealing with postpartum bleeding, depression, and anxiety. Also, I read an article recently that was about how Texas has had over 10,000 unexpected births over the last year. Unexpected?! WTH did they think would happen with laws like these in place???!

I don't think 10000 extra births is an unforeseen consequence. I think it is part of the plan. The oligarch class needs poor people to be competing for jobs. On the larger, national plan for fascism, extra bodies are always needed. Fascism is like a giant Ponzi scheme. In a Ponzi scheme, previous investors are paid off using the money from new investors. That way the Ponzi scheme can claim huge returns and get more people to invest. Where to get middle-class and little wealth people to invest in fascism is to promise them benefits. Benefits obtained by stealing those goods from oppressed people in your own country (homes in jewelry stolen from Jews in Germany were given to nonJewish Germans; Palestinians are being murdered right now and their homes given to Jewish settlers; the Farms of black people were stolen from them after reconstruction and given to white people). Fascism is a giant Ponzi scheme that only in riches a few rich crooks.
