Complaints about pregnant women being turned away from emergency rooms spiked in the months after states began enacting strict abortion laws following the 2022 U.S.
“One woman miscarried in the restroom lobby of a Texas emergency room as front desk staff refused to admit her. Another woman learned that her fetus had no heartbeat at a Florida hospital, the day after a security guard turned her away from the facility. And in North Carolina, a woman gave birth in a car after an emergency room couldn’t offer an ultrasound. The baby later died.”
“Complaints that pregnant women were turned away from U.S. emergency rooms spiked in 2022 after the U.S. Supreme Court overturned Roe v. Wade, federal documents obtained by The Associated Press reveal.”
“The cases raise alarms about the state of emergency pregnancy care in the U.S., especially in states that enacted strict abortion laws and sparked confusion around the treatment doctors can provide.”
Biden does not have the magical power to undo SCOTUS decisions or state legislature shennaigans. Reublican obstructionists in the legislature will keep anything from being fixed through federal laws.
Only a moron would blame Biden. Republicans are to blame.
It's the argument that Never Trumpers love. "Trump isn't a real Republican and we didn't want this. We merely setup all the conditions for someone like Trump to come along and eat the party whole."
Eh, it's the culmination of decades of planning and scheming by the Heritage Foundation and others. Donald Trump is just a symptom. Sometimes a single symptom overshadows the whole disease.
Something definitely happened in the 70s. The civil rights movement of the 60s, seemed to spark a principal skinner moment. Plus Watergate and push back against Vietnam. "Could we be out of touch? No it's the children"
Communism's boogeyman effect was wearing off, and the conservatives needed some new material. Racism is always a good lever. So you get the southern strategy, Powell memorandum, Heritage Foundation, and the seeds for what will become Fox News.
I think there's a good argument for the early 70s as a starting point.
