Well, it’s happened again. We have the name of another woman who died because of Trump abortion bans.
She Died After a Miscarriage: Doctors said it was “inevitable” that Josseli Barnica would miscarry. Yet they waited 40 hours for the fetal heartbeat to stop. She died of an infection three days later. … Barnica is one of at least two Texas women who died after doctors delayed treating miscarriages, ProPublica found. … More than a dozen doctors who reviewed the case at ProPublica’s request said Barnica’s death was “preventable.” They called it “horrific,” “astounding” and “egregious.”
Keep in mind that the women who can be identified are no doubt not all of the women who have died. Yet the Fetus People continue to hang on to the fiction that abortion procedures are never medically necessary. And this is not the only fiction they are pushing.
A political action committee called RBG PAC—yes, after the former Supreme Court justice—started spending $20 million Friday on a campaign claiming that Trump has been clear that he opposes a national abortion ban (he hasn’t) and that Ruth Bader Ginsburg believed that the federal government shouldn’t dictate state abortion laws (far from it). Yet the group’s website has the gall to show both their photos, along with the phrase “Great minds think alike.”
As I have said before about the anti-abortion zealots, without all the lies they make up they’d have no argument at all.
One of the best daily news roundups anywhere is the Morming Memo at TPM, usually written by David Kurtz. I’m just going to direct you there for the rest of today’s developments so far.
