A Pregnant Teenager Died After Trying to Get Care in Three Visits to Texas Emergency Rooms
Fails, who would have seen her daughter turn 20 this Friday, still cannot understand why Crain’s emergency was not treated like an emergency.
“Pregnant women have become essentially untouchables,” said Sara Rosenbaum, a health law and policy professor emerita at George Washington University.

Hoping today turns the tide toward a return to sanity where women no longer have to die for a bastardized version of Christianity.
@CinnamonGirlE sane people everywhere feel the same - Rethuglicans are doing everything they can to disenfranchise Democratic voters - here's a scary and real example

@NorthernInvader @CinnamonGirlE Wonder if Canada would give asylum to us as political refugees.

I have been trying to figure that out.
It depends on who is PM and whether He/She have a majority government.
We have our own miniTFG (Pierre Poilievre - aka PP)here and his party (CPC) will do their darndest to make abortion illegal again should they get a majority government, and sadly with the media here mostly owned by the American right wing Postmedia Network Inc, and similar groups from here who are slanting their papers and video to support PP who never ever tells the truth.

It is so insane to think people have such a short memory everywhere. Didn't we just fight the fascist war? I guess we always fight it. That is a never a static thing.
