Wednesday

how many women will have to die before idiots start having epiphanies - oh, THAT'S why it's better to leave it to doctors.

OR, will the extra unnecessary deaths and complications just be accepted as part of our American experience going forward?

I wonder how many families are speaking out versus handling the overwhelming grief and sorrow privately?

Does the CDC or whichever agency even track stuff like this anymore?

We truly are in an Idiocracy, it seems.
