To be fair, the source article is a bit too vague to attribute her death to a failure of the medical system. We don’t know if she was receiving regular prenatal care. We don’t know if she was deemed a high risk pregnancy or already diagnosed with pre-eclampsia.

It can but quite sudden. Nothing quite like hearing “Mom’s blood pressure is spiking, baby’s heart beat is dropping”.

I believe you can pass out or be in a state of extreme confusion when you begin suffering from eclampsia due to the blood pressure issues, which would make it impossible to call for help. And if one starts to experience any sort of extreme medical distress and doesn’t have their phone with them, it can be impossible…

I had the same questions, since I have no kids. So I asked my mother, who had three kids and who is in fact the world’s smartest nurse (retired). Apparently, preeclampsia often times has symptoms leading up to it, but it can come on very quickly, in a matter of hours, and it can be accompanied by seizure or stroke. If…

This is an unhelpful misogynist comment. 

Truly just JESUS FUCKING CHRIST. People around the world think THIS is the best medical industry? Fucking no way.

you beat me to it. The reason the families in the olden days had so many kids was because a lot of the kids would probably die young.

Imagine going to a conference for young women in leadership only to have one speaker after another tell you you’re nothing but a uterus on stilts…

According to Peltz, Kirk instructed the young woman to “spend a couple of days with infants and see how she feels afterward,”

I mean, any question starting with “Charlie, do you know”...

These are Ayn Rand assholes. Poor breeders have to buy their own cloaks.

I do strive to be like my grandma. She traveled the world, and lived in both Fiji and Kenya for periods of time. She is in her 90s and still goes for hikes and swims, sings in a symphony choir (which happens to be lead by my high school music teacher), hangs out with her friends, and is one of the better cooks in the…

Breed to keep a sizeable (and preferably white) and ignorant underclass that is both cheap labour and easy to manipulate into voting against their own interests and for the very people who are responsible for their shitty, precarious lives. Electoral feudalism.

“The strangest part of all this is that Republicans don’t seem to be using conferences like this to get young women to vote for them, but to push them out of politics and leadership altogether.”

I’m surprised that Candace Owens didn’t pull out all the stops and blame society’s ills on women, women having the right to vote, and black people. And black people having the right to vote.

Surprised they weren’t handing out red cloaks.

“Choose between the surgery career you say you want and the family you say you don’t.”

Charlie, do you know what a “choice” is?

They are starting to lose their grip on white women, so now they are going to go to war against them. Would be comedy to see MTG or Tits Magillacuddy introduce proposals to disenfranchise women.

But they spent the duration of their speeches preaching that if young women focus on professional dreams rather than marriage and childrearing, then (as Clark put it) they’re contributing to our “degenerate rotten culture.”

But this strategy makes sense. They know they can’t win without women so rather than convince them to vote, they’re telling them not to altogether.
