Quite frankly, it’s outrageous that Mark Carney is cutting Statistics Canada. If he was Stephen Harper or Pierre Poilievre, I feel like this would be getting a lot more backlash.

Carney of all people should know the importance of high-quality data and information about the country.

1/ Ciji Graham was the mother of 2-year-old SJ, a sister to 9 younger siblings, a beloved friend.

She's also the 7th case we’ve found of a pregnant woman in a state restricting abortion who died after being unable to access standard care.

This is her story.

Idaho officials are using medical records to add people to a child abuse registry for allegedly using drugs while pregnant, even after healthy births.

Yet another example of prosecutors using Dobbs to roll back the rights of pregnant people. www.investigatewest.org/investigatew...

A sobering empirical piece in JAMA.

Homicide has long been THE LEADING CAUSE of maternal/peripartum death.

Here they show:
* restrictions on divorce
* restrictions on abortion…
both correlate with pregnancy homicide (albeit differently, depending on age/race) 🛟🩺

“The evidence on forced care tells us that doing nothing is safer. Involuntary treatment is not only ineffective, but harmful. “
@heartforward.bsky.social and I wrote this letter to @theglobeandmail.com in response to an op-ed supporting involuntary care. See Alt-text
#CareIsNotCoerced
Screenshot of our letter to the editor. Globe and Mail Re “Involuntary treatment for severe addiction is better than doing nothing” (Nov. 4): We beg to differ. The evidence on forced care tells us that doing nothing is safer. Involuntary treatment is not only ineffective, but harmful. Our focus should be on increasing access to voluntary, evidence-based care that respects individual readiness which can lead to stronger, more sustainable outcomes. Angela Welz learned about the harm of forced care after using an Alberta involuntary care program for her teenage daughter Zoe. Their relationship was irreparably broken after that deep betrayal of trust. Zoe died from fentanyl poisoning seven months after being released from the program. We should remember that many of those who die, including teens, only used once or occasionally. Because of the toxic drug supply, treatment of any form would not have saved them. It’s critical to add that on-demand voluntary care is not available in most areas, and changing that should be our focus. Care is not coerced.

To curb the alarming trend of pregnancy criminalization, we must ⬇️
⚫ Better understand the impact of criminalizing pregnant people
⚫ Reject dangerous “fetal personhood” laws
⚫ Reduce the role of the social & healthcare systems in pregnancy criminalization
