Pregnancy is a medical condtion that is managed by Obstetricians. Where are the health requirements in treatment?

If a pregnant woman does not want to comply with the COVID-19 vaccine, then place them in protective quarantine as a measure of public health. If abortion is such a social ill, why isn't the lack of vaccination?

By the way, Texas clinics regardless of a judge prohibiting the Texas law about abortion that will kill women and their fetuses, are struggling financially to stay open.

The reason pregnant women are followed by medical professions is that pregnancy is a co-morbidity, regardless of the immune status of women. Not being vaccinated against a known deadly contagion ADDS to the co-morbidity of pregnancy.

The alternative to quarantine is every person in the country wears masks to protect others. I ask myself, does everyone in the country wear masks? No, there are people in the country that have COVID-19 that would be happy to walk up to a pregnant woman and cough in their face in the name of acquired immunity otherwise known by the extreme right as herd immunity. The people of the USA are living with propaganda designed to kill them. The only venue that will protect pregnant women who are not vaccinated is quarantine. The quarantine should be reported to the local public health authorities to enforce it.

This is not a minor problem.

Pregnant women who get an mRNA vaccine against COVID-19 pass high levels of protective antibodies on to their babies, new research shows. Doctors analyzed umbilical cord blood from 36 newborns whose mothers had received at least one dose of an mRNA vaccine from Pfizer (PFE.N)/BioNTech or Moderna (MRNA.O). All 36 babies had high levels of antibodies that target the spike protein on the surface of the virus - and all of the antibodies could be traced to the mothers' vaccinations. The findings, reported on Wednesday in the American Journal of Obstetrics and Gynecology - Maternal Fetal Medicine, indicate that "the antibodies that the mother is building to the vaccine are crossing the placenta and that's likely to confer benefits for the infant after it's born," said coauthor Dr. Ashley Roman of NYU Langone Health in New York City....

Stillbirths are up as well. One other thing, Red State governors do not recognize poverty as a co-morbidity so much as laziness.

Mississippi has recorded 72 fetal deaths (click here) in unvaccinated pregnant women infected with the coronavirus, state health officials announced Wednesday, sounding the alarm on the virus’s danger in pregnancy.

Speaking during a news conference, Mississippi State Health Officer Thomas Dobbs said those deaths had occurred since the start of the pandemic. The number, which includes only deaths that occurred past 20 weeks of gestation, “is twice the background rate of what would be expected,” he said.

“That’s quite a number of tragedies that, sadly, would be preventable right now,” Dobbs said, referring to the availability of vaccines.

He said the state is also investigating the deaths of eight pregnant women who were infected with the virus. Those deaths occurred over approximately the past four weeks, during the delta variant-fueled surge, he said. Many underwent emergency Caesarean sections in an attempt to save their babies....

Where has all the civility gone?

Representative Dingle happens to be correct. The USA has many laws controlling abortion. There is no such thing as Late-Term Abortion anymore. We have a lot of policies regarding the borders of the USA, including the southern border. There is no tolerance of drug cartels or other illegal acts. Immigrant facilitators are not legal in the USA and can be arrested if discovered for human trafficking.

Greene is not a good legislator. She is underprepared for her responsibility as a US House Representative, and she practices inflammatory politics from morning 'til night and from the floor of the US House. Inflammatory politics is the stock and trade of the extreme right-wing that has found its way into powerful seats in the federal government. The problem is the inflammatory politics don't stop at politics, it continues into their priorities as legislators. 

If Representative Dingle didn't interrupt the ranting by Greene, Greene would not have stopped. She planned to OCCUPY the PRESS SPACE through the entire assembly on the Capitol steps.

 

Why did Gabby Petito die?

Yeah, I am going there. The person who killed Gabby is fully responsible for his actions, but, why didn't she leave?

In the films of her behavior with police and otherwise, she was heavily dependent on the idea of being perfect. She wanted to be a person others turned to about quality information about national parks, etc. She was very dependant on the idea of "being liked." She fully accepted her FAULTS as part of her reality to become popular.

In those videos, she is highly self-blaming and even self-hatred. She never once blamed her male escort for his behavior. NEVER ONCE.

Since the inception of Facebook and all its variants, I believed and believe still this was a toxic element in the USA. Since, Facebook, which started as a WOMAN RATING WEBSITE AT HARVARD (click here), this country's dynamics including its democracy has been noted to have adverse effects traceable to Facebook. This is not healthy for anyone, but, especially young people. 

There is a rating system for movies and it contained X-Ratings. I strongly suggest Congress adopt a unique rating system for the internet, especially social websites like Facebook where young people congregate to insult each other in the spirit of IMPROVING themselves as socially acceptable. It plugs in directly to the natural emotions of young people to be accepted among their peers as well as evolving sex appeal as teens becoming young men and women. 

There is a lot of damage being done to the young people in this country that is carried into their adulthood. I believe Gabby Petito is a prime example. There is no real empowerment, only criticism with the intent to emotionally hurt others and create acceptable ideals. That is horrible as a society. These invisible standards are stronger than law in some instances. We also know they are stronger than family ties because young people exposed to these dynamics commit suicide.

These social networks are not healthy for a democracy, let alone young minds and hearts.

Antigone Davis, Facebook’s global head of safety, (click here) is expected to face harsh questioning from senators on Thursday morning about Instagram’s effect on teenagers, addressing accusations that Facebook has known for years that its photo-sharing app has caused mental and emotional harm.

The hearing, which starts at 10, is the first of two that the Senate’s consumer protection subcommittee will hold on the effect that Facebook has on young people. The second, on Tuesday, will be with a whistle-blower who has shared information about Facebook’s research on teenagers.

The hearings were called after The Wall Street Journal published a series of articles this month about internal research at Facebook. One of the articles reported that, according to Facebook’s findings, one in three teenagers said Instagram made his or her body image issues worse. Among teenagers who had suicidal thoughts, 13 percent of British users and 6 percent of American users said they could trace those thoughts to Instagram.

On Wednesday evening, Facebook released two slide decks from the research cited by The Journal. The company heavily annotated the slides, at times disputing or reframing the accuracy and intention of the research report. The company said in its slides that many teenagers reported positive experiences on Instagram, including that the app at times helped with mental health....
