Abortion bans reduce women to breeding stocks- and that's exactly the point - Velshi - MSNBC



The proliferation of horror stories involving pregnant women being denied emergency care due to abortion bans highlights the fact that abortion care is inseparable from broader maternal health care. Efforts to stigmatize and criminalize abortion access poses a direct threat to all women who may one day face dangerous pregnancy complications.

Studies show that states with abortion restrictions post-Dobbs saw a spike in maternal mortality rates. The respect given to the privacy of male patients– whose health care isn’t policed by the state– only highlights the inferior treatment of women’s health care in this country. - Aired on 09/15/2024.

Exactly. And it is clearly not about "protecting life" since this places women's lives in jeopardy Rhiannon12866 Sep 15 #7

My Dear. I may get banned for life.

BUT. With information like this and others relative to THEIR positions, no sane citizen can be undecided in this election. The sides are clearly offered. Right or Wrong. Good or Evil. One cannot be undecided on those choices. You either give a fuck or you don’t.

Don't they teach history in schools anymore?? 10th grade in my school was a year of World History - and WWII figured prominently.
