Abortion Bans have reduced women to BREEDING STOCK, and that's the fucking point. That has always been the GOAL.

Maternal healthcare is a critical component of healthcare systems worldwide. It involves providing healthcare services to women during pregnancy, childbirth, and the postpartum period.

MATERNITY CARE GIVEN IN TENTS OUT OF NECESSITY IN THE GAZA STRIP AS MORE THAN A MILLION PACK INTO CITY OF RAFAH

📹 With over one million displaced Palestinians now stuffed into the Rafah area, the vast majority of civilians in Gaza now live in temporary housing: in tents, schools, hospitals, and refugee camps, all of which remain under regular air, missile, drone, and sniper-fire by the Israeli occupation ground, naval and air forces.

As result, public services and healthcare, such as the maternity clinic above, have been set up in a makeshift, jury-rigged way, inside a tent in the above case.

The doctor, interviewed in the video above, discusses why he's erected this maternity clinic tent, and responds by telling the story of his wife, who had problems during her pregnancy due to being unable to receive healthcare during a previous Israeli war on Gaza. He tells how his daughter developed a respiratory illness soon after birth as a result.

Dropped into the United Healthcare trending tag to have a look at the memes, but actually I just got really horrified and frightened by the stories of people living in America and not having universal healthcare. God knows the NHS is not perfect but at least if I need an ambulance, I can call an ambulance

I've said it before and I'll say it again: the Daemonculaba is bog-standard pregnancy horror. All y'all flipping the fuck out over it clearly never grew up getting warned repeatedly about rapists, getting stabbed in the gut monthly post-puberty, reading stories about shitting and tearing and husband stitches and refusal to give epidurals and PPD and PPP, and it shows *flips hair, it is of course SJW blue*

No but seriously if the Daemonculaba freaks you out, start advocating for maternal health care, including abortion rights. You too can be Uriel Ventris, and you don't even need to unleash a daemon in an Iron Warriors fortress to do it.

(also if McNeill was gonna make a pregnancy horror story he should've made it about uterus-having protagonists, just saying)

Most warhammer fans are deranged

But the tumblr ones are deranged in the funniest way

Exactly this

#medicalapartheid warned us years ago, but we don’t read.🥲

"This is why our elders never wanted to go to the hospital. They feared for their lives"

"Thank You too often we are ignored and treated as if we don’t deserve quality care 🖤🖤🖤"

"Have a law that requires a hospital to allow Doulas and birth assistants who are trained is required!"

How Can Maternal Healthcare Be Enhanced?

Remember that as you get used to your new life with a baby, your mind and emotions are also changing. As a result, prioritize maternal healthcare and give yourself the support you need.

FACT: Banning abortion dramatically reduces the rate of abortion— and the number of women dying from abortion

Restrictive state-level abortion policies are associated with not having an abortion at all. Calculated to account for the rate of criminal/illegal abortions.

“Women who lived in a state where abortion access was low were more likely than women living in a state with greater access to use highly effective contraceptives rather than no method” Not only are abortion rates lower where abortions are illegal, but unwanted pregnancy rates too. People are more careful. (From the Guttmacher Institute, former statistics arm of Planned Parenthood.) https://www.guttmacher.org/journals/psrh/2015/05/state-abortion-context-and-us-womens-contraceptive-choices-1995-2010

29% of Medicaid eligible pregnant women who would have an abortion with Medicaid coverage, instead give birth. Calculated to account for the rate of criminal/illegal abortions. https://bmcwomenshealth.biomedcentral.com/articles/10.1186/s12905-019-0775-5

Analysis of statewide data from the three States indicated that following restrictions on State funding of abortions, the proportion of reported pregnancies resulting in births, rather than in abortions, increased in all three States. Calculated to account for the rate of criminal/illegal abortions. https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC1580169/pdf/pubhealthrep00193-0013.pdf

Approximately one-fourth of women who would have Medicaid-funded abortions instead give birth when this funding is unavailable … Studies have found little evidence that lack of Medicaid funding has resulted in illegal abortions. Calculated to account for the rate of criminal/illegal abortions.

We find that a 100-mile increase in distance to the nearest clinic is associated with 30.7 percent fewer abortions and 3.2 percent more births. Calculated to account for the rate of criminal/illegal abortions.

https://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1002/pam.22263

rate of abortion is found to be lower in states where access to providers is reduced and state policies are restrictive. https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/9099567/

A wait time as short as 72 hours is enough to start decreasing abortion rates. https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/abs/pii/S1049386716300603

Abortion decreased after being restricted: https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC4050978/

Michigan banned Medicaid from paying for abortion. Abortion rates dropped. https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/8135922/

The farther away a woman is from an abortion facility, the less likely she is to get one: https://www.jstor.org/stable/2134397?seq=1#page_scan_tab_contents

Some restrictions were enacted in Eastern Europe in the 80s and 90s. The rates of abortion AND pregnancy rates both decreased.

Fetal development information and required waiting periods lead to less abortion:

A study in Louisiana and Maryland found that laws against abortion were effective at stopping abortions

Countries with abortion bans also have dramatically lower maternal mortality compared to other countries in the region with dangerously permissive abortion laws.

“Contrary to the notion proposing a negative impact of restrictive abortion laws on maternal health, the abortion mortality ratio did not increase after the abortion ban in Chile. Rather, it decreased over 96 percent.”

Mexican states that ban and restrict abortion have better MMR than permissive states: “Over the 10-year period, states with less permissive abortion legislation exhibited lower Maternal Mortality Rates than more permissive states.”

Poland bans all abortion except LotM and has the world’s lowest MMR (2/100000). Malta bans almost all abortions and has MMR of 6/100000

It also works in reverse. Multiple countries have seen an increase in MMR after legalizing abortion.

Guyana legalized abortion and achieved the worst MMR on the continent. (Compare that to Chile, which has constitutional protections for the unborn and an MMR that dropped by over 96% AFTER abortion was banned.)

Ethiopia legalized abortion and it made MMR worse: “Although abortion was not legalised on demand, it was legalised on broad socio-economic grounds: the Center for Reproductive Rights place it in the same category as the UK and Finland which, while not strictly allowing abortion on demand, do allow something close to that in practice.” … “Over the period of legalisation, the proportion of women with septic shock more than doubled, with the same result for organ failure. The proportion admitted to intensive care nearly tripled. Between 2008 and 2014, the percentage of women receiving post-abortion care who have severe complications increased by over 50%, from 7% to 11%. During this time, the proportion of women presenting with organ failure quadrupled, the proportion with peritonitis quintupled, and the proportion with shock nearly doubled.”

Ireland’s once-stellar MMR also increased after legalizing abortion. (Compare to Poland and Malta with almost total bans and to the UK where abortion is essentially legal in demand up to the second trimester.)

The pattern repeats in Asia. Nepal, where there is no restriction on abortion, has one of the world’s highest maternal mortality rates. (The lowest in the region is Sri Lanka, with a rate fourteen times lower than Nepal and very good restrictions on abortion.)

In addition, less people are being lured into abortion under the false impression that it’s “safe and legal”. If any of them die of illegal abortion, it’s because they knowingly committed a crime. There will no longer be cases like 17-year-old Roselle Owens, Sarah Dunn, Tonya Reaves and Cree Erwin-Sheppard (to name a few) who were killed by abortion because they were lied to about the risks.
