Extremist GOP anti-abortion policies in red states are ironically making it difficult for women to give birth in such places.
Hospitals are increasingly closing down their obstetrics units because it’s becoming harder to find doctors who would want to work in areas where they could be prosecuted for providing women’s healthcare.
Brooke Macumber planned to have her fourth child in the same small hospital where two of her older children were born — the same place her husband had been delivered decades earlier.
[ ... ]
Bonner General Health in rural Sandpoint, Idaho, was shuttering its obstetrics unit after almost 75 years. Now, the closest hospital able to deliver her baby is more than an hour’s drive from her home.
[ ... ]
Access to obstetric services has been on the decline for years in rural areas, with at least 89 obstetrics units in rural U.S. hospitals closing their doors between 2015 and 2019, according to the American Hospital Association. More than half of rural counties — home to 2.2 million women of childbearing age — are now maternity-care deserts.
Some obstetricians say the problem has been exacerbated by the recent passage of laws criminalizing abortion, which can make recruiting and retaining physicians all the more difficult.
You can blame the overwhelmingly Republican Idaho legislature for the end of obstetrics at Bonner General Health. 
In a news release announcing the decision on Friday, Bonner General Health officials cited a shortage of pediatricians and decreasing number of deliveries. The release also pointed to the “legal and political climate” in a state where trigger laws banned nearly all abortions after the fall of the constitutional right to an abortion.
“Highly respected, talented physicians are leaving,” it said. “Recruiting replacements will be extraordinarily difficult. In addition, the Idaho Legislature continues to introduce and pass bills that criminalize physicians for medical care nationally recognized as the standard of care.
”Idaho has some of the strictest abortion laws in the nation. A trigger law passed in 2020, which the state Supreme Court allowed to take effect last summer, criminalizes the procedure in almost all cases, with possible defenses if a doctor determines it necessary to save the life of a pregnant woman or if the pregnant woman has reported rape or incest to law enforcement. A medical provider who violates the law can face felony charges punishable by two to five years in prison, along with suspension or revocation of their medical license.
Far right Republicans pretend that they are are pro-family. At the behest of extreme fundamentalist Christians they would turn women into little more than baby-making machines. But their laws may be making women reconsider having children because medical care for them is becoming more scarce in rural red states.��
The Idaho Republican Party platform — adopted in the summer of 2022, weeks after the U.S. Supreme Court’s Dobbs decision that allowed states to ban abortion — goes further. It declares that “abortion is murder from the moment of fertilization” and calls for its prevention “regardless of the circumstances of conception, including persons conceived in rape and incest.” The platform says the party supports criminalizing all abortions within the state.
Republicans legislators in red states are more interested in revoking three centuries of social progress which then results in serious healthcare issues for their constituents.
The loss of labor and delivery services in rural hospitals can be dangerous. An absence of obstetric care is significantly associated with increased preterm births and more births in facilities that lack staffs trained in labor and delivery, according to a 2018 study published in the Journal of the American Medical Association. Some patients who have problems in pregnancy walk into centers without obstetrics departments, leaving emergency-medicine doctors to handle issues that may be beyond their expertise.
Gustafson said she fears that Idaho’s maternal death total — which more than doubled from 2019 to 2020, the most recent year for which data is available — will rise with one fewer unit of doctors trained in labor and delivery.
The US already had the highest maternal mortality rate in the industrialized world. The GOP is working to get that rate even higher.
These Republican restrictions on abortion are the products of GOP state legislatures. People tend to pay little attention to state government until it’s too late.
The very first step in ending GOP control is to find out who is representing you in the chambers of your legislature. This site can help with that.
Find Your Legislators Look your legislators up by address or use your current location.
Once you know who represents you, get active in electing Democrats and defeating fundamentalist anti-woman Republicans.
EDIT: Idaho Republicans are too busy bringing back firing squads to care about obstetric services for constituents. 
Idaho lawmakers approve bill that would allow execution by firing squad

the reason why i'll never take the argument that "fire lady katara disempowers katara" seriously is because in canon she is reduced to being aang's wife and the mother of his children, which actively disempowers her and a lot of the fics i've read with the fire lady katara headcanon have her being involved in politics which demonstrates that for the most part, zutara shippers care more about empowering katara than -GUNSHOTS.

First of all I don’t consider this retcon canon as far as I’m concerned this happened in alternate pocket universe and Chuck Dixon can suck my nuts, that being said— this version of Jason should’ve reported Bruce to the fbi for this

"Astarion is actually so masculine and wants to protect and provide for Tav! He's actually really strong physically and can throw Tav around! And also he's always on top so he's clearly masculine! And him being with women means he gets an extra special vampire treat ;)"
"Astarion is such a bratty effeminate twink who complains about his nails and cares too much about his appearance! His voice and movements are sooo campy! I simply can't imagine him with a woman, he's sooo gay-coded, he's simply made to be a bratty bottom."
