Who Will Deliver America’s Babies? | Dame Magazine

Twenty years ago, in the midst of a multi-day labor with my son, I asked the labor and delivery (L&D) nurse when I might expect to finally deliver. She smiled, squeezed my hand in between contractions, and told me, “The baby will come when he is ready to. These things don’t happen on a schedule!”

      If I was “pro-life,” I would be investigating the fact that black women in the US are 3.5 times more likely to die in childbirth than white women are.

      Agriculture Secretary Brooke Rollins laid out the administration’s vision in blunt terms on Tuesday. “There will be no amnesty. The mass deportations continue, but in a strategic way,” Rollins told reporters after meeting with Republican governors. “We move the workforce towards automation and 100% American participation, which, again, with 34 million people—able-bodied adults on Medicaid—we should be able to do that fairly quickly.”

      Slimey piece of dog shit.

        Just to be clear they are counting every single adult on Medicaid as “able bodied” which is far far from true for Medicaid.

        All of those “able bodied adults” on Medicaid will of course be able to do farm labor.

        Just like my younger sibling, who has a genetic disorder with scoliosis that makes him look like Quasimodo and had three open heart surgeries before the age of 18.

    Wait a minute, if we cut this and birth rate falls, economy also falls because lower population usually leads to smaller growth in economy. Now if we deport hardworking immigrants, it will also be worse off for the economy.

    What’s the goal here? Make things worse?

      Yes. Rich people make bigger gains when the economy crashes. They can buy up assets for cheap. Look at all those ‘record breaking profits’ made during COVID.

        This of course will turn the US into a 3rd world economy and lose its status as a world power. The countries that will do well over the next century are the ones that can prevent oligarchs from dismantling their economies and destroying their society.

      I’ve said this a few times. The developed world was built around growth, and most of the developed world has a total fertility rate problem. And here are the US conservatives, dumbest of the dumb, doing everything they can to drive people out of the country.

      The wikipedia article has a nice color coded map.

      You can’t have an abortion in some states either now.

      According to the most recent data, the average cost of having a baby in the United States is approximately $18,865. Fortunately, if you have health insurance, you will typically pay $2,854 on average, or about 15% of the total cost.

          seems like an uncapitalistic system. what’s next, giving away food to children? letting people use roads for free? Who decides what healthcare the person recives if not their own wallet?
