Pregnancy became far more dangerous in Texas after the state banned abortion in 2021, ProPublica found in a first-of-its-kind data analysis.
The rate of sepsis shot up more than 50% for women hospitalized when they lost their pregnancies in the second trimester, ProPublica found.
The surge in this life-threatening condition, caused by infection, was most pronounced for patients whose fetus may still have had a heartbeat when they arrived at the hospital.
ProPublica previously reported on two such cases in which miscarrying women in Texas died of sepsis after doctors delayed evacuating their uteruses. Doing so would have been considered an abortion.

Imagine if male genitals were treated like female genitals? Like testicles weren’t even referred to as testicles and some men didn’t even know what they were actually called and the general area was just called “penis”.
it somewhat irritates me when people talk about how "masculinity is encouraged in girls, but femininity is discouraged in boys."
yes, it is more socially acceptable for a woman to present in a masculine manner than for a man to dress/act femininely. but that is not the same as masculinity being encouraged. tomboys are tolerated as young girls- but once you've hit pre-teen/teenage years, the expectation is that you femme up and drop any masculine characteristics. masculinity in girls is allowed as a childhood phase, but it is by no means encouraged, especially as you begin to mature and enter adolescence. anyone who thinks that masculine women are treated favorably in society has never met an actually masculine woman
well anyways. back to hoping for the downfall of the catholic church
wild how many "karen gets karma" and "karen is put in her place" videos there are on youtube top results, yet so few incel equivalents. just "what incels believe", "the world of incels", "why incels exist". why do men with awful beliefs get analysis videos, explanations, understanding, and agency but women with awful beliefs get put in their place on camera?

You know what’s funny?
In the early ‘10s there was this idea of ‘color blindness’ among white people- not actual color blindness but the sentiment, ‘I don’t see race’ as a solution to racism. We kind of realized that saying that doesn’t actually solve anything? It usually just makes you refuse to acknowledge racism exists both in you and the world around you ie ‘I can’t be racist, I don’t even see race. I just see people <3 The lack of black people in my employment is merely a coincidence and I’d totally hate white illegals immigrants just as much as their nonwhite counterparts it’s just about respecting the law.’ Acknowledging race to them was often, ‘being the real racist.’
We now have a situation where people are ‘sex blind’ they don’t even see female people they just see people <3. And what’s funny is race is significantly more ambiguous- there’s actually arguments one could make about not referring to race during discussions of police brutality. I’d disagree with those arguments but they’d at least have some vigor, meanwhile abortion bans exclusively impact people based on sex but we’re supposed to pretend it’s effect is on this general notion of ‘people’. ‘People affected by police brutality’ and ‘people with the capacity to become pregnant’ come from the same damn place.
You ever notice the difference between how ‘radicalized’ males are treated vs females? I mean it’s a huge case of ‘we all know why’ but you see posts about radicalized males in non-Radfem spaces and about half of them are like ‘they don’t have any friends or support systems :(. The poor babies, they were taught they could only enact their feelings through violence displays.’ There’s this urge to act like grown human males don’t have a sense of autonomy and when they act in their own class interests, it’s a neutral thing.
But females? They’re the group that’s capable of making decisions which means when they do or say evil shit, it’s recognized as a human act of evil (where are the million thought pieces on the way girls are groomed into Tradwife gender role bullshit compared to the amount for actual fucking neo-Nazi males) mind, I have no fondness for either group- though it’s always worth noting which group is more often than not committing actual violence- but it’s so wild how grown ass males are treated like little mindless babies who’s desire for a fuck mommy should outweigh everyone else’s wants by a good number of the populace.
hey um gyns did you hear? Yeagh. Post about 3 men helping with shopping cart?? Systemic misogyny GONE. systems of male control POOF. Men good always. Men amazing. Radfems should go outside and meet 3 shopping cart men who are so kind and cute. Then they'll change their evil Minds.
I have preestablished biases and beliefs about the world, I acknowledge that and am willing to adjust with new information shared.
