When I read the title of today's report, I thought Thom was going to point out that Republican economic policies cause women to doubt they will be able to afford to raise children and choose not to have them, especially due to lack of affordable child care. But I learned about more horrible consequences of the incorrectly named, "prolife" movement and abortion bans. Thank you for your informative articles, even when the news is so sad. We need to know.
Reply to myself: wait until insurance and Medicaid start paying the bills for additional preemies with medical conditions and the women in ERs and critical care after botched abortions. Since insurance/finance pretty much runs the country, they may turn red states' abortion policies around.
Yep, and they wouldn't let kids starve, They would support SNAP, and WIC.
Frank Luntz made an art out of Orwellian language, where words that sound nice, mean the opposite. like family values and pro life. The phrases have nothing to do with life and family values, unless by family values is meant Augustus Caesars law of Pater Familia, in which the father had life and death control over wife and kids.
William you know better than that. They're trying to lie to make people think that they are other than idiots. They make no sense let's face facts. They, and I mean the entire Republican machinery, are at this point nothing but a bunch of liars just like their boss, I mean mob boss, Donald the rump. Without a doubt I have determined that they ARE the criminal elements in our society.
The term pro-life is a lie. The term baby in this case is a lie because they're calling a baby what is really a fetus or even an embryo. Check your dictionary folks baby happens after birth. When a fetus is born it becomes a baby. If they were pro-life they would be pro a woman's life. They would be pro a family's life. They are neither. They are wild-eyed hypocrites and morons who twist language as if it were some kind of sausage. These I'm sorry to say are the Christian vangelicals and the Republican party that supports them.
I don't think he got around to the fact that America already was far down the "infant mortality" list, perennially, compared even to some of what Trump would call s.... countries.
It may not be politically correct to call a country a shit hole country, but those countries are countries that don't value women, oppress women, some even force them to submit to female genital mutilation. Then there is the problem of kidnapping children, turning them into child soldiers, and forcing young girls to marry. Granted not government policy, but it happens in the armies of the opposition.

Surely the small print and/or the MAGA judges will protect the insurance companies from paying.
I believe the GOP chose the pro-life moniker in a flimsy reach for the moral "high ground," implying that to be otherwise is to be pro-death.
How's that working for them, BTW?
The GOP is running away from the pro life thing, and trying to rebrand themselve.
Because if they were truly ‘pro-life,’ they would oppose capital punishment.
