measles outbreak as well.................

soon the south will be infested with viruses, diseases and major health problems except for the rich who blatantly lie about non vaccines, shots, etc., while themselves benefiting from them.

Isn't that what that lunatic at CPAC said? Why didn't he say 'Childbirth is often fatal but necessary' because that's how it is in Trump's America.

already had terrible maternal mortality rates, similar to Syria and Thailand before the abortion ban. And for Black women in Texas the rate was far worse, similar to Jordan and Mongolia.

That said, maternal mortality varies enormously and Texas has much further to fall.
