Missouri is one of the deadliest states for giving birth. Its abortion ban may make that worse

[C_Clayton_Jones]

It’s not just Missouri, of course; abortion bans in other Republican-controlled states will likewise jeopardize the health and lives of women.

“Several scientific studies in the past two years have noted that abortion bans will likely increase maternal mortality. A University of Colorado study in 2021, for example, found that a total ban on the procedure could increase pregnancy-related deaths up to 21% overall and up to 33% for Black women.

Already, some doctors say the inflammatory nature of the abortion issue has compelled them to provide care they regard as less than optimal.

[…]

In Wisconsin, for example, some clinics already are refusing to use mifepristone to help women pass an early miscarriage because the drug also can be used in medical abortions, said Dr. Amy Domeyer-Klenske, an OB-GYN in Milwaukee who is vice chair of the Wisconsin chapter of the American College of Obstetricians and Gynecologists.

Without mifepristone, Domeyer-Klenske said, doctors must either wait to see whether a patient passes the miscarriage on her own, or use less effective medications or perform a riskier surgical procedure.”

Yes, I would expect that Canada would be close to Cuba.

America's was 5.4 in 2020 but I've heard it's much higher in 2022. Could you look it up for me please.

Then what was the point? I'd suggest using google.com like I did. Cheers!

How are women's lives and health jeopardized? How many women are in this category? How many of those women don't want to be bothered by having a child?

When they start tossing that hyperbole around, just stop them and make them prove it.

‘Kristen Mason knows that the months during pregnancy and after childbirth can be difficult, lonely and even dangerous — especially in her home state. The United States is in the midst of a maternal mortality crisis and Missouri has some of the nation’s poorest outcomes.

In her work at the KC Women’s Ministry, Mason serves as a doula and childbirth educator and the group’s executive director. The Kansas City-based nonprofit provides free or sliding-cost doula services to low-income residents in the Kansas City area who are pregnant.

While doulas are trained experts in birthing, they also serve as advocates for clients who because of their race, income and life circumstances sometimes don’t get the services they need.

That happens a lot in Missouri — and health professionals worry that the state’s near-total abortion ban will make pregnancy, childbirth and the postpartum period even more dangerous.

An average of 61 women in the state died while pregnant or within one year of pregnancy each year from 2017 to 2019, a ratio of 25.2 deaths per 100,000 live births, according to the latest report from the Missouri Department of Health and Senior Services.’

Certainly a third-world country with regard to the right’s treatment of women.

Trump never stopped any abortions.

In fact, he encouraged and paid for over 7.

‘…in Texas, a Dallas woman facing a high-risk pregnancy — one twin fetus was all but certain to die before birth, but the other was healthy — dealt with doctors and nurses who refused to say the word “abortion” in their consultations, although one doctor told her: “You can’t do anything in Texas and I can’t tell you anything further in Texas, but you need to get out of state.” The woman, who traveled to Colorado to have the unhealthy fetus aborted because of her home state’s strict laws, told NPR about the bizarre experience of “talking in code” with doctors and nurses.’

“talking in code” with doctors and nurses.

It’s the true manifestation of the rightwing fascist state – women forced into going to a free state to exercise their right to privacy and to access life-saving healthcare.

And MILLIONS of women use abortion as birth control every year.

I know. I worked in an abortion clinic.

Your one anecdotal example means little stacked against MILLIONS of lives.

It is foolhardy to use a doula in lieu of a medical facility for childbirth. If anything goes wrong, the doula just stands there with her thumb up her ass and the newborn is fucked.

 

[g5000]

About 1 in 4 children are born by C-section these days.

A doula can't perform a C-section.

Subjective, personal, private beliefs such as ethics, religious dogma, and when life begins are the sole purview of individuals, not the state; the people know best how to conduct their personal lives, not government.
