Politics Please say rock bottom is getting close

A Louisiana woman was miscarrying. She went to two emergency rooms. By the time she got to the second hospital her clothing was soaked with blood. Neither would admit or treat her. Louisiana bans all abortion and treating her would be a violation. They did not even record she was having a miscarriage since that triggers automatic investigation. She eventually miscarried at home with no care. Louisiana has fourth worst infant mortality in the country. Black women are four times more likely to die in childbirth, and Black babies twice as likely to die in infancy.

Louisiana Senator Bill Cassidy, white male, said in response to question on maternal mortality in his state, that if you don't count Black women they are close to the mean. Repeat that. Black women should not be counted.

 

Unbelievable

Women dying is what they call pro life.

South Carolina Supreme Court overturns state 6-week abortion ban as unconstitutional

That's at least SOMETHING. Still don't think we've hit bottom yet though.

 

Sadly, every time I think we have hit bottom someone surprises me.

 

Two men in McCarthy's home district of Bakersfield tried to set an immigration services center on fire. They accidentally set themselves on fire instead.

 

Thoughts and prayers and such.

 

For the damaged building.
