A Texas law that banned early pregnancy abortions is associated with a stark increase in infant and newborn deaths, research from Johns Hopkins Bloomberg School of Public Health finds. https://t.co/usUY49M2sB
My wife (finally) got a negative pregnancy test this morning. We never thought that would be a reason to feel relieved 💔
If you didn’t know (I didn’t know) a woman’s body still thinks it’s pregnant after going through something like what my wife did. Incomplete miscarriage, abortion etc… is not the end.
You still have to monitor certain hormone levels, and if you continue to get a positive pregnancy test, at a certain point, a D&C is required to remove uterine lining, or whatever remains in the body that is resulting in the positive pregnancy test.
My wife developed an infection, & narrowly avoided sepsis. But THANK GOD she did.
Watching her go through the daily reminders of the baby we lost, & the torturous lack of care she received, has been heartbreaking.
But I am forever in awe of her strength.
We will carry this with us for the rest of our lives.
Losing a baby should be enough. The added horror that women like my wife are currently being subject to because of Texas Abortion Law HAS TO STOP.
Let’s be clear:
Attacks on medication abortion are part of Trump and MAGA Republicans’ extreme agenda to ban abortion nationwide.
The stakes could not be higher for women across America.
In the state of Mississippi more than 1 in 5 children face hunger.
And their Governor Tate Reeves, has announced that he won’t participate in a federal summer food program for children.
You see, he doesn’t want the state with the highest poverty rate and the most hunger in the country to turn into a “welfare state.”
So those kids can just starve.
But do go on about how “pro-life” Republicans “protect our kids” wont you.
Every day:
♦️ 800 women die from preventable causes linked to pregnancy & childbirth
♦️ 1 million new sexually transmitted infections are acquired
♦️ Millions of women lack access to modern contraception

Let’s pray but for those of us in government, let’s do more than pray. @TexasGOP @texasdemocrats
This is how you Govern 👇🏼 it you believe in Democracy then you should support expanding voting rights. When you care more about power than democracy then you limit access to voting like the Texas GOP has done!
Happy Women's Equality Day to those women in states whose personal freedom and personal rights are still intact. ~ We miss being equal with you. Love women from Texas
