Where does your state rank among the best and worst places to have a baby?

Now tell me where I'd want to be pregnant, and by the way , Texas has the highest maternal mortality rate. Love those Republican states, not if you are pregnant.
 
Unless I overlooked it, I didn't see Tennessee on any of the lists.

God bless you always!!!

The link says Tennessee ranks 41st out of 50 best.

Would be interesting to compare with, say, Canadian provinces though.

Sure it is if the Mother doesn't murder the baby first.

The criteria from the article: >> The best 10 states ranked high in baby friendliness (evaluations of parental leave policies, mom groups and child care centers) and family friendliness (which considered health and safety, family fun and affordability).

So basically that seems to relate to if a state has more more wealth to provide those services that are more “baby friendly” and “family friendly.” Yeah, big deal. I am sure utterly poor nations that abhor abortion would be on the very bottom in those categories. IOW, this is stupid.

Recently read that over 50% of all births in NYC end in abortion and 80% of black births end in abortion. So stand up and have another rousing cheer New York legislature and Cuomo.

Based on the above I think standing up and cheering your fertile imagination for making shit up would be more relevant.

I heard it on hannity a couple of nights ago. If he embellished the statistics that's on him. Do you want me to try to find it just to defend myself to you? That would cost money. Otherwise, I am content to have you feel so righteous.

If you don't count babies being torn limb from limb without the decency of at least giving them pain meds then you aren't really interested in an accurate data on the care of babies.

Hard to imagine anyone supporting post-birth abortion without a gut full of hate.
