Banning Safe Abotion =/= Win for Pro-Life
There are three reasons I don't consider banning safe abortion a win even though I am pro-life.
Number one, I love life maturely and selflessly enough to know I don't speak for all women and I will never EVER decide for them. I also the humility to know they are good.
Number two, we need to have safe abortion available for medical reasons. I would rather a woman who had an abortion had the safe kind done in a hospital by a doctor and got the proper care and attention she needed afterwards than unsafe ways that could kill her.
Number three, banning safe abortion doesn't help pregnant women not even ones who CHOOSE to be pregnant. Where does she go for help if the father is a deadbeat? Or if she gets kicked out of her home? Or if she loses her job because her pregnancy is an inconvenience? Or if she needs medical help, but cannot afford it? Or if she’s being pressured into a c-section that could be dangerous?
Banning safe abortion is not only a band-aid to a much bigger problem, it's a defective band-aid. I repeat, banning safe abortion is NOT and NEVER WILL BE a win for pro-life because the woman's life will always matter too and it doesn't solve the real problems pregnant women face. Yes, I feel compassion for any life lost, but my compassion also extends to the life of the mother just as much and I see no sense in both lives suffering. And like I said, women who have had abortions are good women who just want to live their best lives like any other woman. So they made a choice I didn’t agree with, so what? A lot could be said about my own life choices. I won’t judge someone else’s. With that said, I'll be damned especially as a woman myself before I take away someone else’s right to choose.

A rural pregnant woman in Idaho will now have to travel 46 miles in case of an emergency.
This is totally a normal thing and not at all batshit.

Bekkenløsning rammer svært mange gravide. Det er ikke uvanlig som gravid å oppleve smerter i bekkenet eller smerter i korsryggen. Heldigvis er smertene som regel ufarlige og responderer bra på kiropraktisk behandling.

Flint, Michigan, has one of the [United States]'s highest rates of child poverty — something that got a lot of attention during the city's lead water crisis a decade ago. And a pediatrician who helped expose that lead problem has now launched a first-of-its-kind move to tackle poverty: giving every new mother $7,500 in cash aid over a year.
A baby's first year is crucial for development. It's also a time of peak poverty.
Flint's new cash transfer program, Rx Kids, starts during pregnancy. The first payment is $1,500 to encourage prenatal care. After delivery, mothers will get $500 a month over the baby's first year.
"What happens in that first year of life can really portend your entire life course trajectory. Your brain literally doubles in size in the first 12 months," says Hanna-Attisha, who's also a public health professor at Michigan State University.
A baby's birth is also a peak time for poverty. Being pregnant can force women to cut back hours or even lose a job. Then comes the double whammy cost of child care.
Research has found that stress from childhood poverty can harm a person's physical and mental health, brain development and performance in school. Infants and toddlers are more likely than older children to be put into foster care, for reasons that advocates say conflate neglect with poverty.
In Flint, where the child poverty rate is more than 50%, Hanna-Attisha says new moms are in a bind. "We just had a baby miss their 4-day-old appointment because mom had to go back to work at four days," she says...
Benefits of Cash Aid
Studies have found such payments reduce financial hardship and food insecurity and improve mental and physical health for both mothers and children.
The U.S. got a short-lived taste of that in 2021. Congress temporarily expanded the child tax credit, boosting payments and also sending them to the poorest families who had been excluded because they didn't make enough to qualify for the credit. Research found that families mostly spent the money on basic needs. The bigger tax credit improved families' finances and briefly cut the country's child poverty rate nearly in half.
"We saw food hardship dropped to the lowest level ever," Shaefer says. "And we saw credit scores actually go to the highest that they'd ever been in at the end of 2021."
Critics worried that the expanded credit would lead people to work less, but there was little evidence of that. Some said they used the extra money for child care so they could go to work.
As cash assistance in Flint ramps up, Shaefer will be tracking not just its impact on financial well-being, but how it affects the roughly 1,200 babies born in the city each year.
"We're going to see if expectant moms route into prenatal care earlier," he says. "Are they able to go more? And then we'll be able to look at birth outcomes," including birth weight and neonatal intensive care unit (NICU) admissions.
Since the pandemic, dozens of cash aid pilots have popped up across the nation. But unlike them, Rx Kids is not limited to lower-income households. It's universal, which means every new mom will get the same amount of money. "You pit people against each other when you draw that line in the sand and say, 'You don't need this, and you do,' " Shaefer says. It can also stigmatize families who get the aid, he says, as happened with traditional welfare...
So far, there's more than $43 million to keep the program going for three years. Funders include foundations, health insurance companies and the state of Michigan, which allocated a small part of its federal cash aid, known as Temporary Assistance for Needy Families.
Money can buy more time for bonding with a baby
Alana Turner can't believe her luck with Flint's new cash benefits. "I was just shocked because of the timing of it all," she says.
Turner is due soon with her second child, a girl. She lives with her aunt and her 4-year-old son, Ace. After he was born, her car broke down and she was seriously cash-strapped, negotiating over bill payments. This time, she hopes she won't have to choose between basic needs.
"Like, I shouldn't have to think about choosing between are the lights going to be on or am I going to make sure the car brakes are good," she says...
But since she'll be getting an unexpected $7,500 over the next year, Turner has a new goal. With her first child, she was back on the job in less than six weeks. Now, she hopes she'll be able to slow down and spend more time with her daughter.
"I don't want to sacrifice the time with my newborn like I had to for my son, if I don't have to," she says."

So glad she got away from the dude. And the church coming out to support her instead of just pleading for her to stay because...... "divorce makes Jesus sad" is a pleasant surprise.

i am so sick of this
there is an established relationship between advanced age of the father and risks to the mother, to the pregnancy, to the fetus, and later to the child.
older men’s ticking biological clocks are harmful. their ages literally compound the dangers to women and to the children they have. increased age of fathers is related to things like gestational diabetes, preeclampsia, and preterm birth, just to make a few. later health and mental problems have been observed in children of older fathers.
the number of older fathers is increasing. men feel entitled to father children well into elderliness. men also tend to seek out young women with which to have these children. the maternal mortality rate in the U.S. is currently the highest it has been since the 1960s. abortion rights in the U.S. are in extreme peril. this altogether makes the risk to women who reproduce w/ older men much, much greater.
i think we as a society need to start talking about this a bit.
screenshots of additional NYT article under the cut because i couldn’t figure out how to link without the paywall.
#was i not just talking about this#like come the fuck on.#personally my father was 45 when i was conceived (my mother was in her 20s) and i almost died at birth#my mother’s pregnancy was extremely high risk and caused permanent damage to her health#same thing happened with my younger sister—he was 50 when she was conceived#both my sister and i have suffered very poor health throughout childhood and adulthood#and we both have autoimmune disorders that are the first of their kind in either side of the family#just saying.#tagging for ref#older fathers#save

🗣Anyone using a period tracker app needs to very strongly consider deleting it. Not now, but RIGHT NOW!
Your personal data that is being collected can and has already been mined and sold to marketing firms and law enforcement. You don’t need to be Margaret Atwood to imagine who your private information might be sold to, or what period-tracking data might be used for in a Republican state, or in a conservative court of law.
I really hate to sound alarmist, but this is Christofascist America in 2022, please protect yourself and act accordingly.
