On the abortion 'complication' claim: Paxton says in his press release that abortion pills "caused serious harm to this patient." This appears to be a lie—one that is being repeated by mainstream outlets

Yes! Specifically, acts already committed that could be prosecuted in the future under the federal Comstock Act

The GA maternal mortality review committee's findings "are not supposed to be shared with the public — not even with hospitals or with family members of women who died." Helps explain the recent decision to fire the whole committee...

"Doctors say the feeling among would-be moms is fear." For some women, the fear of death, trauma, or other harm due to obstetric violence + obstetric racism has long been part of giving birth. Not that this reality makes such reporting any easier to digest... www.nbcnews.com/health/women...

Lots of important takeaways here, not least of which is the dignity of *all abortion storytelling,* not just the most tragic stories. Otherwise, we risk losing even when we win. rewirenewsgroup.com/2024/11/21/a...

The vote-tallying is now almost complete, and it's abundantly clear just how much abortion, on its own, is a winner electorally. There have been 18 ballot initiatives post-Dobbs, and the pro-choice side has garnered 60.4% of the 56.6M votes cast. In today's politics, that's a landslide.

The law of pregnancy is overrun by a sexist ideology that masquerades as sex equality while denigrating gestation and other caretaking. Feminists must work to overthrow this skewed value system that subordinates women, devalues caretaking, and impoverishes the law of our fundamental rights.

Amidst relentless news of violence + loss across the world, this detailed, intimate reporting about the destruction of a Kyiv maternity clinic in July hits hard -- among the more than 1,900 medical facilities damaged or destroyed since Russia’s full-scale invasion.

Messages of hate like this are fully pouring out of the Republican caucus today. I don’t think anyone who hasn’t watched anti-trans legislation the last several years knows exactly how rabid Republicans become on this issue when a trans person is in the room as their equal.

"According to a report from the Center for Healthcare Quality and Payment Reform, more than half of Alabama’s 52 rural hospitals are at risk of closure, with 23 facing an immediate threat." Everything's fine... www.alreporter.com/2024/11/19/n...

Several interesting findings in this (small) study in which AI outperformed doctors at diagnostic tasks... www.nytimes.com/2024/11/17/h...
