Georgia GOP's Abortion Ban
"The availability of D&Cs (dilation and curettage) for both abortions and routine miscarriage care helped save lives after the 1973 Supreme Court ruling in Roe v. Wade, studies show, reducing the rate of maternal deaths for women of color by up to 40% the first year after abortion became legal.
But since abortion was banned or restricted in 22 states over the past two years, women in serious danger have been turned away from emergency rooms and told that they needed to be in more peril before doctors could help. Some have been forced to continue high-risk pregnancies that threatened their lives. Those whose pregnancies weren’t even viable have been told they could return when they were “crashing.” - ProPublica
Brian Kemp 'Overjoyed'
"Republican legislators have rejected small efforts to expand and clarify health exceptions — even in Georgia, which has one of the nation’s highest rates of maternal mortality and where Black women are three times more likely to die from pregnancy-related complications than white women.
When its law went into effect in July 2022, Gov. Brian Kemp said he was “overjoyed” and believed the state had found an approach that would keep women “safe, healthy and informed.” - ProPublica
GOP led states offering worst access to prenatal, maternal care
"Look no further than the South for most of the states with the worst prenatal and maternal care. In fact, more than half of the 10 states offering the worst access to care are in the South: Alabama, Texas, Florida, Georgia, Arkansas and Tennessee.
Of these, Alabama ranks lowest. Specifically, Alabama has 27.5 maternal care providers per 100,000 residents — 40.2% less than the national average of 46.0 and the lowest of the states. Additionally, Alabama ranks poorly for the quality of care received, with the lowest average Merit-based Incentive Payment System (MIPS) score among the state’s OB-GYNs and tying for the second-lowest average maternity practice score." - Value Penguin
Many more will have to die - Bob Marley
"Many more will have to suffer
Many more will have to die
Don't ask me why
Things are not the way they used to be
I won't tell no lie
One and all got to face reality now"

Obviously true despite the usual lies and justifications to come as always.
Horrifying.
Pure cruelty, racism and sectarism.
Not even a single benefit for the society mentioned by the criminal promoters of this (unique in the free-world) law(s).
As dumb and nefarious as gun legislation.
In both cases : the death at the end.
What do the US stand for now?
Is it making America great again ?
