    Pretty hard to “think of the children,” like Republicans keep demanding we do, when there are no children to give.

      They just said “think about the children”, not “help the children”, or “feed the children”, or “protect the children”.

      Just think about them. In which manner? It’s up to your liking and preferences.

        The comparison for forced birthers is a fraction of a percent to the amount of abortions procured year to year. I hate it, but they’re at least somewhat logically consistent there. Still reduces the quality of life for those that survive forced pregnancies drastically and risks permanent bodily harm. That’s where the hypocrisy shows on how much they value life imo. Raise them to suffer cuz “it’s God’s plan.”

          I feel like risks permanent bodily harm is putting it lightly because pregnancy changes your body permanently even if everything goes “right” not to mention changes your brain permanently.

          They don’t want them to die immediately, though.

          They’re supposed to keep their mouth shut and push out babies until they die…

            They want to go back to the days where life expectancy for women is to the “ripe old-age of died in childbirth”.

      from 2 to 3 or from 100 to 150?

        So many that there are statistics grouped by race and counted as “deaths per 10,000 live births”

        It looks like its something like 135 ish per year to 210 ish per year (its like 407 over a 3 year period) in texas with a dramatic increase in pregnancy-related fatalies among white and black women. Note that the avg increase over the same time nationwide is something like 11% (other states also implemented bans) so this is possibly wholly explainable with abortion bans.

        Here’s an article with a graph. Given that the figures are measured per 100,000 live births, one would need to find how many births occurred in the state of Texas in the years graphed. I was able to find that exact figure for 2022 in a document from the CDC (on page 8) which comes out to 389,533. Since the overall Texas maternal mortality rate was about 28.5 per 100k births for that year (per the news article), the total number of mortalities would have been about 110.

        If you want I could go find the figure for earlier years as well, but this should serve as a general ballpark the numbers are in. Keep in mind that the maternal mortality rate only factors in live births, so does not include any pregnancy complications involving an unviable fetus.

    JFC this is horrifying and heartbreaking. But that’s the reality for women in Republican-ruled U.S. states, they are being denied health care. The cruelty is intentional.

    I can’t believe how effective this is at tapping into our understanding of what’s supposed to happen in this meme and applying it to what’s actually happening in the real world. The title tells you what it’s going to be and even still the message hit hard out of left field. This is how you get a point across.
