Ever since Roe fell I've been keeping track of stories in the news of women harmed by abortion bans. Going to bring that post over here from the remnants of Twitter and continue.

@KGreenMD: Interview I did yesterday. My only issue is the last sentence. It’s not a claim. It’s true. Women are already suffering under strict abortion bans in other states. Let me show you all what ...

We’ve been under single party rule in TN for 15 years. Gun violence keeps worsening while the supermajority does nothing. A vote for Republicans is a vote for the status quo: too many children, teens & adults lost to guns.

You gotta vote blue if you care about this issue! #DoctorsForGunSafety

Mike Johnson: "Republicans care about healthcare. We're not just talking about it. We're doing it. In the big beautiful bill, we reformed Medicaid to make it work better."

Q: “Most hospitals + people who will lose insurance are in rural areas. If Trump & Republicans are so intent on sticking it to their own voters, why not let them?”

@aoc.bsky.social : “That’s the difference between us & Trump. I don’t care if you voted for me, I want you to have health care.”

Pregnant ppl are not safe in blue states when treated at religiously affiliated hospitals with "pro-life" OB/gyns. The doc in this case neglected her duty to her patient, violated the code of ethics and committed malpractice. Luckily this woman didn't die. Absolutely horrifying. #ReproSky #MedSky

Here’s the deal, Mike Johnson, you worked 9 days since July, make $200K, and get best free healthcare we pay for, while shutting down ours.

Want it fair? Start with your paychecks. No work, no pay and no damn free healthcare for any of you. Let Congress feel the pain they dump on the rest of us.

Is it love to force someone to give birth to a fetus that will die? Or to further traumatize a raped child by forcing them to give birth? Is love forcing women to carry pregnancies that threaten their lives?

Exactly what love are you showing women and girls, RTL? #ReproSky

Billboard in Indiana, just outside Kokomo. It shows a picture the silhouette of a pregnant woman with two hearts overriding the silhouette, one for the woman and one for the fetus. The billboard reads “love them both.“ it is sponsored by right to life, Indiana.

Parents will ask "is something going around?" and we would, based on media reports, anecdotal data, and experience would answer "oh yeah, probably something viral".

The CDC produces the NREVSS dashboard which tells us exactly what diseases are "going around".

Is has not been updated for 3 weeks.
