By the time the pension system collapses as a consequence, the old fucks in congress will be long dead. We're going to be the only ones suffering from their backward, theistic morals.
It was only ever a question of whether it was Texas or Mississippi.
Or Alabama. Or Florida.
Or Kansas.
It's happening in every red state
It's a targeted effort by specific groups, because they know they can only get away with it in red states.
Don't forget Idaho.
B-b-but... you weren't supposed to eat my face off!?
Sorry your insurance won't cover birth anymore.
Thus becoming one rule for the rich, vs. another for the masses...
This is the best summary I could come up with:
Complaints that pregnant women were turned away from U.S. emergency rooms spiked in 2022 after the U.S. Supreme Court overturned Roe v. Wade, federal documents obtained by The Associated Press reveal.
Pregnant patients have “become radioactive to emergency departments” in states with extreme abortion restrictions, said Sara Rosenbaum, a George Washington University health law and policy professor.
Consider what happened to a woman who was nine months pregnant and having contractions when she arrived at the Falls Community Hospital in Marlin, Texas, in July 2022, a week after the Supreme Court’s ruling on abortion.
The investigation was one of dozens the AP obtained from a Freedom of Information Act request filed in February 2023 that sought all pregnancy-related EMTALA complaints the previous year.
At Sacred Heart Emergency Center in Houston, front desk staff refused to check in one woman after her husband asked for help delivering her baby that September.
Meanwhile, the staff at Person Memorial Hospital in Roxboro, North Carolina, told a pregnant woman, who was complaining of stomach pain, that they would not be able to provide her with an ultrasound.
