“Infant deaths surged 12.9% in Texas compared with a 1.8% increase across the rest of the country in the year after the state enacted its strict abortion ban.”
And as I keep saying, and have for years, they are not “pro life” or “pro fetus, anti baby”… If they were, then they’d support funding for food, poverty, and health programs that help both the fetus and the person carrying it thrive.
@tomcapuder @Wileymiller As I always say, they don’t just hate the born, but also the fetus. If they didn’t, they’d support funding food, poverty, and health programs that help both the fetus and the person carrying it thrive.
No one put it better than George Carlin: "They're all in favor of the unborn. They will do anything for the unborn. But once you're born, you're on your own. Pro-life conservatives are obsessed with the fetus from conception to nine months. After that, they don't want to know about you. They don't want to hear from you. No nothing. No neonatal care, no day care, no head start, no school lunch, no food stamps, no welfare, no nothing. If you're preborn, you're fine; if you're preschool, you're fucked"

It was never about babies or motherhood.
It was always about using abortion (and IVF, and contraception...) in a felony disenfranchisement scheme.
