Chuck Darwin<p>One of the most telling parts of Trump’s insane rant du jour was this:</p><p>YOU WILL NO LONGER BE THINKING ABOUT ABORTION, BECAUSE IT IS NOW WHERE IT ALWAYS HAD TO BE, WITH THE STATES,</p><p>This is something that not only Trump believes, <br>or that members of the anti-abortion lobby believed <br>— it was a way for centrist pundits to demonstrate their Savvy. </p><p>The idea that "Roe was the reason there was political conflict over abortion" was amazingly widespread.<br>And, of course, couldn’t possibly be more <a href="https://c.im/tags/wrong" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>wrong</span></a>:</p><p>⚠️The number of women in Texas who <a href="https://c.im/tags/died" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>died</span></a> while pregnant, during labor or soon after childbirth <br><a href="https://c.im/tags/skyrocketed" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>skyrocketed</span></a> following the state’s 2021 ban on abortion care <br>— far outpacing a slower rise in maternal mortality across the nation, a new investigation of federal public health data finds.<br>🆘 From 2019 to 2022, the rate of <a href="https://c.im/tags/maternal" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>maternal</span></a> <a href="https://c.im/tags/mortality" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>mortality</span></a> cases in Texas rose by 56%, <br>compared with just 11% nationwide during the same time period, according to an analysis by the Gender Equity Policy Institute. </p><p>❌Supporters of abortion rights and women’s rights are <a href="https://c.im/tags/never" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>never</span></a> going to accept this status quo. <br>🔥And it’s hard to imagine a time when the well-connected anti-abortion minority stops trying to pass draconian bans in every state legislature they control -- and nationally, <br>whether legislatively or by judicial fiat. <br>The idea that overruling Roe would mean you no longer have to think about abortion made no sense if you thought about it for more than 5 seconds, <br>but ⭐️this is the case of Trump believing something he heard all the time on cable news.</p><p><a href="https://www.lawyersgunsmoneyblog.com/2024/09/more-pregnant-women-getting-killed-by-trump-abortion-bans" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" translate="no" target="_blank"><span class="invisible">https://www.</span><span class="ellipsis">lawyersgunsmoneyblog.com/2024/</span><span class="invisible">09/more-pregnant-women-getting-killed-by-trump-abortion-bans</span></a></p>
