Thank you so much for highlighting the terrible reality of what is happening.

I hope the VP puts these bastards in place in her rally in WI tonight. It feels like there is not enough response from KH's campaign to all the lies and trauma the evil duo are bringing into the little towns in OH and CO. These legal immigrants have brought economic recovery to the area in the last 4 or so years and there was nothing bad happening until suddenly these bastards started their lies and created stories.

I’m so glad someone did a documentary about “crises centers.”

The horrible truth is that more white women are going to have to die for anyone to care. This country has been turning its back on the absolute epidemic of Black women dying of pregnancy and childbirth complications for decades. This won't change that.

I can usually read this newsletter and take in the information, but today just pushed me over the edge. I don't want to blame physicians, but I do wonder--why are we not hearing more about civil disobedience and defiance of these bans? How can they just stand there with a straight face and deny all of their training?

I agree!

I may have asked this question in the past but here it is again. Can't the same doctor(s) who denied care to these women also go to jail for malpractice or negligence? They either let a patient die or caused her harm. If the doctors treated a heart attack patient the same way the hospital and doctor would be sued and lose their license. What about EMTLA?

Lawrence last night. He almost lost it talking about how his mother had a miscarriage when he was six and what would have happened if she had died a preventable death. Very powerful. He mentioned something that was news to me that D&C was available before Roe even if abortion itself was illegal.

Illegal abortion kills mothers. The first time I saw that line was in 1978 when I was in college and taking a course to learn how to counsel women with unplanned pregnancys. Our student health center liked me because I was a biology major and had no problem teaching how babies were conceived. Abortion was legal in the US, but not in many other countries. I remember Brazil, where abortion was illegal, not only had the greatest number of abortions (1 out of 5 confirmed pregnancys), but also the worst maternal and neo-natal mortality rate of emerging countries. People who want to criminalize abortion are NOT Pro-life, they are PRO-MATRICIDE.

They are "forced-birthers, who will do their best to vote against any aid including free lunch for actual born children.

If you're a pro-choice Catholic or Baptist or Protestant living in Florida right now you should be super pissed how they've taken laity money (which they did not pay taxes on) to influence and lobby against women.

That's why I left the Catholic Church many many years ago- they are such hypocrites- why don't they use all that money to get rid of their pedophile clergy??? They have spent millions and millions of dollars over the last 100 years lobbying and voting against women: the 19th Amendment (our right to vote) and legalizing birth control- and now abortion.

🎯But when they get told to pay damages to their many victims, they plead poverty and file for bankruptcy.

This is the same Mark Robinson from North Carolina that for at least 10 years rented porn videos from several porn stores in the Greensboro area- he would go there to rent up to 5 days a week- sometimes he would rent the booth inside the store to watch his little videos...... and I'm sure jerk off.

But yeah Mark....." I" should be careful with how " I" conduct myself. You mother fucker!

And don't think he ain't still watching it - he just does it from PornHub now in the comfort of his own home.

10 years ago my husband got bit by a dog on his hand. It was split open and bleeding badly.

I drove him to the ER. They admitted him right away..... they didn't make him go home or go sit in his car or wait in a hospital bed till he got infected or gangrene or sepsis or lost more blood.......they provided medical care right away!

Imagine that........

The only woman lower in a sociological context in these United States than a Black woman is a Latina woman. This explains why Yeniifer Alvarez-Estrada Glick's death is still far too under-reported. At least Amber's death may create awareness of Yeniifer's.
