Texas’ maternal death rates top most industrialized countries

Thank you Texas Legislators. This issue is completely on you! Your title should be The Texas Voters Sanctioned Death Merchants State Fascists Branch of The Lone Star State of Insanity Government.

The Texas Legislators today are so profoundly corrupt in so many ways, but what stands out the most is these so-called Legislators have given their total allegiance to the Religious Right Radicals who generously fill these amoral moron's election collection plates.

The Taliban in the Middle East don't have **** over these scumbags in Texas government.

The rate of maternal mortality in Texas spiked from 18.6 deaths per 100,000 live births in 2010 to more than 30 per 100,000 in 2011 and remained over 30 per 100,000 through 2014, according to a recent study in the medical journal Obstetrics and Gynecology. That’s significantly higher than Italy (2.1 deaths per 100,000 live births), Japan (3.3) and France (5.5), and more in line with Mexico (38.9) or Turkey and Chile (15.2), according to World Health Organization statistics.

This is as shameful as it gets.

I keep saying this over and over:

The GOP are third-worlding Amereica!

Please don't stop saying it. It's true, and of course I'm biased, it's especially true in Texas.

Thanks!
 
That's our GOP! Turning us into a 3rd world country, one state at a time. Maybe for an encore, they'll add theocracy to their accomplishments. Texas is already letting the religious right dictate adoption policy.

Any reports on how many of those deaths were US citizens or Others sneaking over the borders in order to have a US born baby at US taxpayer's expense?

The natural and logical response of course.

Not, how can we improve the situation.

Not a desire to understand it.

Just:

"Those ****ing spics at it again!".

Of course the demographics of maternal deaths in Texas closely parallel the general population demographics of Texas, right? :shock:

Praise the lord and pass the condoms.

You might want to check that out, Jimbo.

Because, you know, right to life and all that doesn't apply to illegal aliens.

Texas......'nuff said.

Incorrect. If there is a problem, then the next logical step is identifying the problem. That's just it. Post 1 is a rant against the Texas Legislative.
Post 2 an attack on "I keep saying this over and over: The GOP are third-worlding Amereica!"
Post 3. An agreement with post 2.
Post 4-5. Ditto

Post 6. Mine

Post 7. Attack the messenger.

No possible reasons. No solutions.

So, let me ask you:

How can "we" improve the situation?

How can we understand it? Even if we desire to do so.
 
Well Texas cant compete with the civilized world, so it has to compete with the uncivilized world.. in this case ISIS and Taliban. In that case they are winning!... barely.
 
Then why contribute your opinion?

My contribution addressed the OP and the rant. Which addresses nothing.

I offered a possible explanation. So far the only one.

Pretty much, Pete....
 
The real question is why is this happening? The article states that the reason is unknown. I'm also curious if the mortality rates use the same metrics for all the countries listed in the article. Seems pretty damning when taken at face value, but I'm not sure the article goes deep enough.

Okay...groovy. But why didn't you bring some source and link with you when you made your post rather than raise a provoking notion...and really stated it as though there's validity to it. If there is, we'd all love to see what you are suggesting is real or not.

I asked a question. I did look quickly for an answer. Didn't find one. I expect I will not as it doesn't fit the agenda. So I asked. Apparently you get pregnant, you die in childbirth, it's the Texas Legislators fault.

So far that's the best explanation. The only explanation offered.

Red state trend, IIRC.

LOL that is simple. Lack of family planning and healthcare for women. Everywhere Planned Parenthood has been kicked out, mortality rates have shot up and teen pregnancy and illegal abortions have exploded. It is not rocket science. The backward thinking countries around the world have exactly the same issue.. denying basic reproductive healthcare and information to women, means women die... it is a fact.

Really? Such compassion shown...:roll:
