Pro-life diaper company makes big splash

America’s leading pro-life diaper company, EveryLife, just wrapped up its latest ad campaign in Times Square.

The campaign prominently featured a post by X owner Elon Musk that read: “Having children is saving the world.” Below this, the billboard reads: “Make more babies.”

“We did launch this massive campaign last week with a very clear message,” EveryLife President Sarah Seifert told “EWTN News Nightly” anchor Tracy Sabol. “We were inspired by Elon Musk. He said, ‘Having children is saving the world,’ and we 100% endorse that message.”

“We are the first pro-life diaper company. Every other diaper company on the market today financially and vocally supports abortion,” Seifert pointed out. “And so we felt, as parents, an obligation to create this solution for parents that are passionate about shopping in alignment with their pro-life values.”...

Doctors following the law in Texas allowed another otherwise healthy woman to die. Complications vs. righteousness and uncompromizing respect for the sanctity of life.

Sanctimonious arseholes...

You're going easy on them.

and the AMA should do unnameable things with their licences

Sanctimonious arseholes...

Fully agree, though in my opinion that would be the government officials (arsehole legislators/shithead governor) who put the Texas law on the books. The doctors are protecting their licence to practice in Texas/avoiding criminal prosecution. Perhaps more cowardly than sanctimonious.

The horrifying effect that abortion bans can have on women's health (as noted above) are inconvenient to the sanctimonious arseholes who put those bans in place. So let's just pretend that never happens, shall we?

'Abortion bans are killing women — and states like Texas want to hide the truth'

Since the Supreme Court’s Dobbs decision two and a half years ago, state abortion bans have restricted pregnant women’s access to emergency medical care. And as the predictable harms — up to and including death — come to light, some states are acting as if they want to hide them from the public.

Last week, ProPublica reported on Porsha Ngumezi, the third known Texas woman to have died under that state’s abortion ban. In June 2023, Ngumezi lost so much blood from miscarrying at 11 weeks that she needed two transfusions. The hospital delayed providing a procedure called dilation and curettage to clear the uterus, with doctors instead giving her a drug to stop the bleeding. She died of hemorrhaging three hours later. More than a dozen doctors who reviewed a summary of her case told ProPublica that Ngumezi’s death could have been averted with a D&C.

The very next day, The Washington Post reported that Texas’ Maternal Mortality Review Committee (MMRC) wouldn’t examine any pregnancy-related deaths from 2022 and 2023, citing a backlog of cases on top of the two-year delay that is typical of such committees. That means Texas won’t investigate any deaths from the past two years that are potentially linked to abortion bans, like Ngumezi’s.

...

Maternal mortality committees review women’s deaths not to publicize individual cases but to make recommendations to prevent future harm. This refusal to review pregnancy-related deaths from the first post-Dobbs years means we may never have a full picture of the harm caused by an abortion ban in the second-most-populous state — one that has a long-standing crisis of women dying from pregnancy. An analysis published in September by the Gender Equity Policy Institute found that, from 2019 to 2022, the rate of maternal deaths in Texas increased by 56%, compared with 11% nationwide. But rather than investigate, the state is essentially admitting that the bodies are piling up faster than the state can address them. Its solution is not to dedicate more time and effort — like, perhaps, increasing the size of the 23-member committee — but to simply brush these women’s lives under the rug and skip ahead to 2024.

Texas isn’t the only state engaging in this sordid interference. ProPublica has found at least five women who’ve died under abortion bans: three in Texas and two in Georgia. After the outlet reported that Georgia’s MMRC had determined the two deaths were preventable, state officials responded by firing all of its 32 members. The commissioner of Georgia’s Public Health Department wrote in a letter to members that because the department wasn’t able to figure out who shared confidential information with ProPublica, it was dismissing the whole committee and would seek applications for replacements. This ruthless move will undoubtedly delay the work of the committee, but it seems leaks to the media are more important than urgent investigations of these women’s deaths.

Many of you will die, but that's a price I'm willing to pay to trigger the libs.

[Sean Hayden]

I hope this information is getting out there. People need to advocate for themselves. I'm not sure what they could do at the hospital, but it may help to have these examples when confronting staff. Can you imagine --a completely preventable death.
