The average age of SCOTUS justice is 63. 63! They haven't had skin in this game since the late fucking 1900s.
They faffed around, and now they're finding out that, yes, the experts were in fact right! Restricting abortion access does cause more deaths and poor health outcomes!
I guarantee that nobody is surprised by this. This was a fully intended consequence.
And no one was surprised. The anti abortionists now get to talk about their god's will.
they're a death cult
For real. Well, minor amendment. The only people surprised by this are the folks who find no connection between extensive firearm sales and firearm deaths.
System works as designed. Whoever says any of this is about "saving babies" is a despicable liar.
It looks like the will of the gods is that humans are harmed by anthropogenic climate change. Nice one.
They are fine with these kids dying because it's "God's will". It was never about protecting kids.
Sadly, someone close to me has been poisoned by this religious nonsense.
The consequences of prolife politicians and their voters: "This corresponds with a 7% absolute increase in infant mortality overall ( ≈ 247 excess deaths; 95% CI, 73-421) and 10% in infant mortality with congenital anomalies ( ≈ 204 excess deaths; 95% CI, 60-348) in relevant months after Dobbs.".
The excess deaths are still ongoing probably and i'm interested in extrapolating it to a per year statistic, but I can't make out over how many months this data was, that part of the article reads like a convoluted mess for me and I have no desire to decipher it.
