I was happy someone else thought it worth saying that "fanatical Catholics" on SCOTUS did away with Roe v Wade. That was an outrage that in 2024 will remove more Republicans from office than the Republicans ever dreamed. I do not have much hope for a country where it's a commonplace for large groups of people to think a trained doctor's life is worth that of a fetus. Why, I wonder, do so many people insert themselves in a matter that is really none of their business? All I can figure out is that they're religious crazies who are a quart low. May the wackjob churchies sober up ... and soon.
Meanwhile… “ Since the Pregnancy Mortality Surveillance System was implemented, the number of reported pregnancy-related deaths in the United States increased from 7.2 deaths per 100,000 live births in 1987 to 17.6 deaths per 100,000 live births in 2019. The graph above shows trends in pregnancy-related mortality ratios between 1987 and 2019 (the latest available year of data).”
This one is why I read you.
thank you!

Why indeed. The perfect question to ask in Independence Day
It’s my go to line of thinking. People need to stay in their own lane. Thanks for your thoughtful writing Nina.
Powerful. How did I ever believe people were sane I’ve no idea
Not to worry. We've got space lasers.
Thank you Nina!

In 2020 it went up to 23.8 maternal deaths per 100,000 live births.
MEANWHILE: A new study found that pregnant women in the US are twice as likely to die by homicide than pregnancy-related causes.
Two-thirds of the deaths occurred in the woman's home, suggesting a partner was responsible.
