Why does this remind me of Trump saying that we could reduce COVID infections by not testing so much.
Because COVID infections and pregnancy related deaths stop existing if you just stop measuring them, right?
They’re treating it exactly like America treats gun violence: we all know it happens, we just don’t exactly know how bad it is.
We all know it’s possible for women to die in childbirth, but it’s impossible to point to GOP policies being the cause if we don’t know why or how many women are dying.
Oooo I’d love a window into how a policy is affecting society. Beyond visualizing the effects in this example, it’d be great to see what other aspects it effects if any that I’m otherwise ignorant to.
I would assume that this is just the first in what will be a widespread effort among red states to do the same.
Simply because banning abortion is essentially guaranteed to lead to an increase in pregnancy-related deaths, and that’s a statistic that undermines the conservative position.
And it’s ALWAYS the case that when truth is contrary to conservative positions, the positions don’t change to accommodate the truth - the truth is hidden to protect the positions.
Well this is just fucked up. I don’t know what else to say.
Idaho state government: shrugs, it’s God’s will
Unless it happens to someone in my family, the it’s everyone else’s fault.
Turns out, one of the poorest states in the nation really needs government aid to support healthcare. Also turns out, abortions are needed as part of maternal care.
So what do you do when you have reports telling you these facts that contradict your ideology? Why, you get rid of the reports!
And here we have Idaho Winning her way to fame Silver and gold in the sunlight blaze and romance lies in her name(So fun seeing my home state get worse over time).
That’s disgusting.
I suppose they don’t believe in even attempting to improve. Not a place I’d want to live.
That sounds like communism, friend
Nope, it’s Idaho. Didn’t you read the title?
The Antonov An-225 Mriya was made in 1985 in the Soviet Union, modern day Ukraine.
It’s a one off plane with the largest wingspan, largest weight, and largest load bearing potential.
It ran all the way to 2022 when Russians bombed it out to cripple Ukraine’s economic abilities, as it was the only plane that could carry many loads the distances it did, at a rate of travel much faster than freight ships.
Anyway, to say that nothing was innovated or improved under communism is blatant propaganda.
I hear good things about their space program too (Grumpop worked at Thiokol so he probably knew what he was talking about here). I hear they’re also good at building wooden ammo.
Meanwhile, over in godless California: https://www.cmqcc.org/
I visited once when I was 18-19 and I was so unsettled to see almost every young adult woman my age pushing grocery carts with back-to-back kids. Like…they had no chance. For a people who value large families I would think maternity care would be exceptionally well funded. I guess they’ll just make preventable death (4 in 5 maternal deaths) even more commonplace for these young women.
If the mother dies you just buy another teenaged girl
Some background:
Thank you! I am definitely going to listen to this. I was reading the prolonged like… what does Ukraine have to do with this? It was very interesting but confused why you shared.
So to anyone else the theme of the episode is about when to leave. And the first shared story is this:
Amelia Huntsberger has a story she tells about what it’s like to work at a small, rural hospital. She’s an OB-GYN in Northern Idaho, in a place called Sandpoint. And early on, she got called down to the emergency room to examine a woman.
If you have never listened to this American life, it is an excellent podcast. I look forward to listening!
You’re welcome! That episode is well worth listening to to get the real, on the ground implications of overturning Roe v Wade. When you finish listening to it:

The pro life party strikes again.
I didn’t know ostriches ran the show in Idaho.
And Eastern Oregon still wants to join Idaho

And this contradicts OP how? Maybe you meant to reply to a comment?
