Disgusting, just $2 million for maternal care? They spend more money on highways than they do for providing care so people can have healthy deliveries and abortions. I sure hope none of the law makers ever have to live in the hell they created in Mississippi.
They don't live in that Mississippi they live in the other one. The one that the hell they created keeps going.
For me,the measure of what's a 1st/3rd world country (not in the original meaning, in the developed/developing country meaning) is about how well the poor are treated. You can live well in any country on this planet if you have enough money.
But if the poor are left suffering just because, that's a 3rd world country. And the USA might be just the one with the richest oligarchs.
Another victory for the abstinence only crowd. Now they can point to her as an example of the hardships that come from premarital sex/getting raped. "Girl has cell clump safely removed after being victim of violent crime" doesn't make good marketing material for their message. Scaring teens away from sex has worked so well in the past, why stop now just because of that pesky little thing called data?
“She has decided that when she grows up, she wants to be a nurse too. “To help people,” she says.” 😭
