The Guardian · US doctors describe three patient deaths that could have been prevented with abortion access in new studyBy Stephanie Kirchgaessner

"Wyoming no longer has a clinic offering procedural abortions. Now, patients are traveling hundreds more miles to neighboring states for care....A new state law, pushed by abortion opponents, placed strict requirements on the clinic, including getting its physicians admitting privileges at nearby hospitals and making extensive renovations."

Here's an example of Gilead's money and power attacking our native culture and laws and nobody in Westminster wants to do anything about it because we are to become Gilead's vassal.

Not even a 51st State, just a whipping boy like Puerto Rico

And that's the dream Starmer has for us.

The Democratic-backed candidate for #WisconsinSupremeCourt defeated a challenger endorsed by #Trump & billionaire #ElonMusk, cementing a #liberal majority for at least 3 more years.

#SusanCrawford, a Dane County judge who led legal fights to protect #union power & #abortion rights, defeated Republican-backed Brad Schimel in a race that broke records for spending, was on pace to be the highest-turnout #Wisconsin #SupremeCourt election ever & became a proxy for #USpol battles.

@The_Icarian Our local pregnancy center has everyone fooled. They pretend to be a medical clinic (they are not) & they do ultrasounds to show clients the "baby". If mom is hesitant to continue the pregnancy, she's told she needs more ultrasounds, until she's past the point where she can decide to end her pregnancy. It's insidious. They offer the only free pregnancy tests around, so they're busy. And it looks like a clinic. Deceitful. #reproductiverights #abortion #USPols

"Alabama cannot prosecute doctors and reproductive health organizations for helping patients travel out of the state to obtain abortions, a federal judge ruled on Monday.

Alabama has one of the strictest abortion bans in the country, and in 2022 its attorney general, Steve Marshall, a Republican, raised the possibility of charging doctors with criminal conspiracy for recommending abortion care out of state."
