***From Rolling Stone’s Tessa Stuart:***
*Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton charges ahead with an effort to prevent doctors from providing emergency care, as maternal mortality spikes.*
The state of Texas is asking the Supreme Court to allow it to continue denying emergency medical care to pregnant women, pretty please. The request, which the justices will consider at conference on Monday, September 30, comes on the heels of a new report that shows the state’s maternal mortality rate has spiked dramatically since the state’s first ban on abortion went into effect in 2021.
Across the United States, maternal mortality rose 11 percent between 2019 to 2022; in Texas, over the same period, the maternal death rate surged 56 percent, according to an analysis of Centers for Disease Control and Prevention data conducted by the Gender Equity Policy Institute.
“There’s only one explanation for this staggering difference in maternal mortality,” Nancy L. Cohen, the institute’s president, told NBC News. “All the research points to Texas’ abortion ban as the primary driver of this alarming increase.”
Five weeks before an election that could hinge on outrage over abortion restrictions, officials in Texas are nevertheless charging ahead with their effort to ensure that the state can block doctors from providing emergency medical treatment to pregnant residents. The state sued the Department of Health and Human Services, arguing that the Biden administration violated the Medicare and Administrative Procedure Acts when it issued guidance clarifying that hospitals are required to provide emergency abortions if necessary to preserve a woman’s health — even in states that, like Texas, ban abortion.
The names of these women should be read on the nightly news and printed on the front page of whatever newspapers still use ink

The sad, awful, absolutely insane thing is that even the most rabid anti-abortion activists of yesteryear recognized that abortion care and D&C’s were acceptable in cases of “rape, incest, and to protect the life of the mother”.
I was always opposed even to that level of restriction on women’s personal freedom to choose… But what we’ve got now is just absolutely insane, negligent, and frankly homicidal. Total abortion bans flat out kill women.
What’s next, ban anesthesia and analgesia? Randomly ban other medical procedures? Makes zero sense.
…no justification for this ban that kills…those who supported this ban should be held accountable for murder…

Whenever any government becomes destructive to the ends of Mr. Paxton here, it is your right to alter or abolish him. Make him an example of taking away our freedoms.

This is what happens when you replace reality, with a made up religion, they will double down, and continue to ignore the real world in order to live in their made up fantasy land, while the real world suffers. Vote these mother Fockers out !!!

This was so obviously going to be the consequence of their abortion bans. Now that we’re seeing the deadly, inhumane result Republucans are threatening doctors for *not* saving women’s lives, while threatening them with prison if they do provide life saving care. People like MTG claim stories of women who have already died (brutally, needlessly, in agony) are lies.
You can’t have it both ways!!! Yes, conservative voters & politicians, **you** are to blame for these deaths! That anyone would claim to be pro-life while supporting the Republican party is pure insanity. Welcome to the post-truth era.
