B-Man Posted May 12, 2022 Posted May 12, 2022 Now They're on Record: Democrats Overwhelmingly Vote to Allow Abortion up to Birth Let it be known that the politicians of the Democrat Party in Washington are either evil or cowardly with the exception of one. Reports say that Democrats had brought Roe v Wade to the floor in order to codify it into law. The goal was to legalize abortion nationwide up until birth with what would be no limits. As you can imagine, every single Republican voted against this and they were joined by none other than West Virginia Democrat Joe Manchin who had indicated that he’d vote against it earlier in the day. Remember about 2 years ago when the Left apologists here said that I was crazy when I stated that Democrats wanted to have right up to the day of delivery. I was right. https://redstate.com/brandon_morse/2022/05/11/now-theyre-on-record-democrats-overwhelmingly-vote-to-allow-abortion-up-to-birth-n563155 1

In 2018, over 21,000 infants died in the United States.

Unfortunately everyone does not have a primary care physician to keep them on the right track and proper treatment when needed. Using the ER instead will end in failure.

Yeah I'm never gonna dunk on people who want real health care/health insurance reform in the states. Unfortunately a lot of that is downstream of lifestyle which has trended more to convenience and comfort (byproducts of urbanization of living spaces and monopolies in the food industry) over actually beneficial habits. As a result we have HUGE issues that won't even be fixed with proper single payer on one side or gutting the massive administrative burden on health care on the other. But again I'm not going to fault people who want to find some acute solutions that will make some progress.

If we would just remove the restrictions on stem cell research and human cloning, science would have solved this problem already.

Using the ER instead will end in failure. I know it would take a lot of money to solve , but even a step in the right direction and health education would help. When you're dealing with health care in the context of generational poverty where infant mortality is the highest there are many more circumstances and factors to consider than access to health care. The obvious solutions all assume throwing more money at the problem will lead to improvement or resolution of the problem. In this case infant mortality rates. But viable solutions need to consider how to address the culture of poverty. The specific set of norms and customs that people operate under. There are many factors beyond financial resources such as personal behaviors, emotional, mental, and nurturing support of the mother and the home environment. A focus on the present and an inability to identify the consequences, sometimes to the unborn child of actions taken or not taken. As well as things like a lack of support systems available to the mother and what can be the hidden rules that dictate relationships and behavior inside these communities and homes. A fundamental obstacle in defining and implementing effective solutions to infant mortality and health care issues for people stuck in generational poverty is both an inability and an unwillingness to accept the fact that poor people do not think and act like middle class individuals that define solutions. So solutions that are defined with a middle class to professional perspective tend to fail. Addressing the needs of people in a manner consistent with how they operate, not how the providers operate could be more effective.

I have and it’s not the utopia it’s made out to be, granted our current system of big pharma buying politicians and distributing deadly addictive opioids and colluding with big medicine, HC insurance and politicians has plenty of its own problems. Maybe if healthcare was paid for based on outcomes instead of treatments it would be different.
