Women

Hartmann Report - Multiple pregnant Red state women have, over the past year or so, told harrowing stories about almost dying before doctors were willing to give them healthcare for fear of going to prison because of draconian state abortion bans.But now we learn that GOP policies aren’t just capable of killing women; they appear to have killed at least 20,000 newborn babies in 2022, as Red states across the country instituted abortion bans in the wake of the Dobbs decision by six Republicans on the Supreme Court....White women were hit the hardest, suggesting this isn’t another example of health outcome disparities resulting from structural and institutional racism but, instead, a direct result of Republican abortion bans altering the way physicians and hospitals are practicing medicine.
