Chatting with Dobbs v. Jackson Ladies’s Well being Group, Marjorie Dannenfelser, president of Susan B. Anthony Lists PAC, said on nationwide TV, on Might 4, that “should you stay in Mississippi you have got a terrific governor (Tate Reeves) that’s making each single lady there that’s experiencing disaster or issue has each single factor she wants so as to look after herself and unborn baby so I say to individuals who wish to give her a tablet and a slap on the again and exit the door aren’t assembly her pure wants, her wants are to not remove the kid conceived however assist her and her unborn baby. That’s what the pro-life motion is about, it’s about justice and mercy.”
Take into account Dannenfelser’s assertion compared to Mississippi’s nationwide rankings for: poverty (fiftieth), well being care (fiftieth), teen start price (1st), toddler mortality price (1st), preterm start price (1st), baby poverty (fiftieth) and baby well being (fiftieth). Mississippi has additionally rejected Medicaid enlargement beneath the Inexpensive Care Act.
Do the statistics show that Gov. Reeves supplies a lady with “each single factor she must look after herself and unborn baby”? Rejecting the Medicaid enlargement blocks many ladies from with the ability to obtain well being care and demanding prenatal and postnatal care.
The info present Mississippi is the more serious state to have or elevate a baby in our nation. If Mississippi cared about pregnant ladies and kids they’d have handed laws and funded well being look after prenatal and postnatal look after all ladies and expanded Medicaid.
They might give attention to enhancing financial alternatives for the poor and center class, they’d help Deliberate Parenthood to assist decrease teen pregnancies, and they’d put money into public faculties.
They didn’t and received’t. That’s not being “pro-life”; it’s being “pro-birth”.
