[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]This is a feature, not a bug, of the GQP Christofascist agenda. If the poor sluts die in childbirth, it’s that much easier to steal their babies and give them to “more deserving” couples without any of that welfare or open adoption nonsense. Everyone knows good wealthy Christian women won’t die, they’ll always get good care. [/quote]

Do you even hear yourself?  
Nobody is "stealing" babies.  Good God.  You people are sick.  [/quote]

What’s your explanation for why “you people” let mothers die in childbirth, then?[/quote]

Nobody "lets" mothers die in childbirth.  Who are you to ask such a question?!
There are risks with ANY medical procedure.  Childbirth is one of those. [b] Especially when the mother has underlying medical conditions, is obese, or has ignored prenatal care check ups.  [/b]
It is tragic when a woman dies during childbirth, or shortly thereafter.  A baby is left without a mother and if she is married, a spouse without a partner.  And, if she has any other children they are without a mother as well.  
Nobody "lets" it happen.  
And, despite the risks, millions of women give birth every year.  And will continue to do so.  The alternative is not having children at all.  Which would mean the end of the human race.  
Is this what you want?[/quote]

Blaming the expectant  mother. Of course. [/quote]

I am not blaming the mother.  I am stating facts.  Science.  It is a fact that underlying medical conditions, obesity, and lack of proper prenatal care lead to bad outcomes.  
Are you unaware of these facts?[/quote]

In rural areas, a woman who might or might not have reliable transportation may have to travel 100 miles each way to get pre-natal care. Which is only available 9-5, the hours she works.  She misses work for an MD visit, she doesn’t eat.  Are you unaware of these facts? [/quote]

People in rural areas receive less and lesser care across the board. This isn't limited to pregnancy. I worked with the Medicaid population and let me tell you, even with free prenatal care, even with a ride to take them there and back, they are not good at presenting for care. Don't even get me started on how many of them care for their kids. [b]The reason it is hard to find a decent provider who takes medicaid patients is that they are notorious no shows and notoriously non compliant. [/b]These are difficult populations to treat and being well meaning and well funded isn't enough. [/quote]

You’re so intent on blaming the disadvantaged for having disadvantages. [/quote]

People who have never worked with then disadvantaged love the idea that you can fix all this with just good intentions. People are complicated and really really difficult to “fix”. [/quote]

Forcing women and girls to give birth will not solve anything and only make already complex situation way harder - it is shocking that maternal and infant death rates are so much higher already. [/quote]

I never said we should be doing that. All I said is that helping the vulnerable populations takes a lot more than people think. [/quote]
