A new study that examines teen pregnancy and mortality published in the latest Journal of American Medicine looked at 2.2 million young Canadian women (with universal health care) and found:
…teen pregnancy was associated with future premature mortality. It should be assessed whether supports for female teenagers who experience a pregnancy can enhance the prevention of subsequent premature mortality in young and middle adulthood.
The youngest in the cohort gave birth at age 9. Teenagers who sought abortions had lower mortality rates, according to the study.
Unlike, Canada, we don’t have universal health care. We don’t even have a health care system. We have a free-fall and the most vulnerable have the farthest to fall.
Overturning Roe — the Defendant-In-Chief’s most bloated legacy — is killing women. Remember, as well, that his zealots are also coming for birth control In December, a federal judge in Texas said in an opinion that federal family planning clinics (from NPR’s coverage):
violate Texas state law and federal constitutional rights, effectively cutting off a vital source of health care for young women across Texas.
So here we are, smack in Gilead. If you’re thinking of sitting this next election out and leaving things up to God, God wants you to vote.
Selah.
When women aren't human beings but unfree labor, means to ends, prizes or punchlines, killing a bunch or undermining their health/lives isn't important, and probably just shows how inferior they were.
Agree with all you wrote. Earlier this week Biden signed an executive order to expand women's health research by committing billions of dollars to the National Institutes of Health. It is so needed because for too long medications, treatments and medical school textbooks are based on men and their bodies. (By the way, Yale's Dr. Carolyn Mazure who started Women's Health Research at Yale, attended the order-signing ceremony. )
