[quote=Anonymous]The GOP’s attack on women’s rights via attacks on prenatal care is paying dividends for the party that loves causing misery. Newborn syphilis cases have reached “dire levels.”

“Mothers can also pass the disease to their children during pregnancy. This form of the infection, known as congenital syphilis, can potentially result in stillbirth, miscarriage, death or developmental disabilities such as blindness or hearing loss.

Last year, 51 cases of congenital syphilis resulted in infant deaths and 231 in stillbirths.

But almost 90% of those cases could have been avoided with timely testing and treatment during pregnancy, according to the CDC report. In 40% of cases, there was no evidence that the pregnant person had received prenatal care at all.

“It is unbelievable how this could all be prevented if we just had patients get in for screening and treatment,” said Dr. Irene Stafford, a maternal-fetal medicine physician with UTHealth Houston, who wasn’t involved in the report.”

Gee, maybe attacking and closing places like Planned Parenthood was bad, what do you think, forced birthers? https://www.nbcnews.com/health/health-news/newborn-syphilis-cases-reached-dire-levels-cdc-says-rcna123856[/quote]
