GOP do not, will not count their dead.

That's been going on since Katrina. If they can be held responsible, they will hide the consequences of their actions. It's their modus operandi.

In states with abortion bans, ProPublica has found, pregnant women have bled to death, succumbed to fatal infections and wound up in morgues with what medical examiners recorded were “products of conception” still in their bodies.

These are the very kinds of cases state maternal mortality review committees are supposed to delve into, determining why they happened and how to stop them from happening again.

But panels in states that have recently imposed strict bans on abortion have done little to uncover whether the laws are contributing to maternal deaths, including tracking delays in care for pregnancy complications and making these problems known, a ProPublica investigation shows.

In fact, we found that in a few states, political leaders who backed the bans have stood in the way of measuring their consequences.

End snip.

Maternal mortality and morbidity are carefully recorded worldwide. But not in the US anymore. Women don't count.

1. Just like the Russians

2. The PutinGOP will kill as many people as it takes to get what they want.

They will murder pregnant women and school children and not think twice about it.
We are all just collateral damage in their quest for wealth and power.

3. Dead women are an acceptable loss to the republicans/religious right. Control is their goal, not life.

6. Agreed. The whole pro-life thing is pure and simple BS.

All they want to do is manipulate the public perception that Republicans care about life.
The problem is that Republicans think life ends at birth, especially if that life if black or brown.

4. That's what I've been saying.

5. gop governors held openly superspreader events

noem did a motorcycle rally, desantis a spring break etc etc etc

then they cook the numbers, attributing their covid deaths to comorbidity, which makes their statistics seem closer to new york and california, fueling the anti mask hysteria.

7. It is their MO

Humongous numbers of COVID deaths in Republican Red States were ignored, and not counted...... esp in Florida and Texas.

The Katrina deaths were grossly under counted.....in the hundreds vs the thousands..........

8. Too bad we lack the laws and wills to enforce/require public accountability

10. Who needs 'em? Pukes can manipulate all the votes they need, no humans necessary.

11. They don't give a shit about death, unless it is their family. Which at this point, I don't give a shit. So here we are.
