Scientific proof Republicans are killing women

It sure looks like Republicans want women to die. Anyone surprised?” Fox News' Emily Compagno told her network’s viewers: “What I find so deeply offensive, is that they had to made up a fake one!” And South Dakota’s Republican Governor and Trump VP aspirant Kristi Noem, told CNN’s Dana Bash that the girl — whose pelvis wasn’t even yet sufficiently formed to handle a vaginal birth — should be forced to carry the fetus to term: “I don’t believe a tragic situation should be perpetuated by another tragedy,” Noem said, arguing against the little girl getting an abortion. … “Behind Texas, the states with the highest totals were Missouri, Tennessee, Arkansas, Oklahoma, Louisiana and Alabama.” Because none of these states either keep or release detailed statistics on rape-caused pregnancies it’s impossible to know how many of the 56,000+ rape-caused pregnancies in the US last year were among teen and preteen girls, but in every single Republican-controlled state that has outlawed abortion, age is not considered a mitigating factor that might allow medical intervention. The complainant, Alexander Deanda, argued that his three teenage daughters should not be allowed to confidentially obtain birth control from one of the state’s 150 federally-funded Title X clinics that were established by Congress and President Nixon in 1970.. As NPR reported two weeks ago: “In his suit, Deanda, a Christian, said he was ‘raising each of daughters in accordance with Christian teaching on matters of sexuality’ and that he could have no ‘assurance that his children will be unable to access prescription contraception’ that ‘facilitate sexual promiscuity and premarital sex.’ “In his opinion, Kacsmaryk agreed, writing that ‘the use of contraception violates traditional tenets of many faiths, including the Christian faith plaintiff practices.’” The Heritage Foundation’s Project 2025, is explicit about the GOP’s desire to see women barefoot and pregnant. As Rolling Stone reported: “Those plans — and many more, including proposals to attack contraception access, use the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention to increase ‘abortion surveillance’ and data collection, rescind a Department of Defense policy to ‘prohibit abortion travel funding,’ punish states that require health insurance plans to cover abortion, and retool a law that is currently protecting pregnant women with life-threatening conditions — are outlined in Project 2025’s ‘Mandate for Leadership.’” The Project 2025 document, in a section written by Trump’s head of the Health and Human Services’ Office of Civil Rights, Roger Severino, calls for draconian federal-supervised, state-reported surveillance of every woman of child-bearing age: “Because liberal states have now become sanctuaries for abortion tourism, HHS should use every available tool, including the cutting of funds, to ensure that every state reports exactly how many abortions take place within its borders, at what gestational age of the child, for what reason, the mother’s state of residence, and by what method.” Republicans are also calling for the enforcement of the moribund Comstock Act, which outlaws sending anything relating to abortion or birth control through the mail or via a common carrier like UPS or FedEx — even to hospitals and pharmacies.
