This is disturbing and horrifying, but I urge you to at least read the excerpt from the quoted post if you can stomach it. We need to understand what’s at stake when governments ban abortion. We need to understand how horrible the results are — not hypothetically, but right now, in Texas, in many places in the US.

MAGA killed this woman.
That’s the short of it. It’s not an exaggeration. It’s just the fact of the matter. And she’s not the only one.

I hope that people who support abortion bans see this photo. To be blunt: I think a lot of those people imagine that the women they kill are simply too Black or too poor to matter. A photo like this may be the only way they can •see• the people they hurt. That is not a kind thought, but I think it’s a true one.

@inthehands She was also a republican pro-life btw, they aren’t immune from the consequences of what the party has done to healthcare for women

I’ve received several replies of the form “bAd DDOctors! Not MAGA’s faULT!!!”
Look, people:
Yes, doctors screwed up. But when the situation got really dire, the medical procedure that would have saved the life of Nevaeh Crain was an abortion.
The hospital delayed that — fatally — because they insisted on two ultrasounds to verify “fetal demise.”
They insisted because TX law pushed them to.
That TX law exists because of MAGA, Trump, and his SCOTUS judges.
It’s a pretty straight line.
