Sorry. I got this confused with _another_ one that came out recently. Thanks for the correction. ---

I don’t think anyone’s posted about the second Georgia case where a preventable death resulted from the Georgia abortion law: > **[Afraid to Seek Care Amid Georgia’s Abortion Ban, She Stayed at Home and Died](https://www.propublica.org/article/candi-miller-abortion-ban-death-georgia)** > > Candi Miller’s family said she didn't visit a doctor “due to the current legislation on pregnancies and abortions.” Maternal health experts deemed her death preventable and blamed Georgia’s abortion ban. ---

Not sure if this is the best thread for this but seems good enough. I really like this message: > **[Daughters to dads who support Trump: ‘You chose him over me’](https://www.nj.com/politics/2024/10/daughters-to-dads-who-support-trump-you-chose-him-over-me.html)** > > Trump has been trying to thread a divide between his own base of anti-abortion supporters and the majority of Americans. > All women should send this to those in their life who support Trump (everyone really). ---

Holy smokes. I think it would be great if all men were to share this with their friends who support trump. ---

Another abortion-related maternal death, this time in Texas: > **[A Texas Woman Died After Waiting 40 Hours for Miscarriage Care](https://www.propublica.org/article/josseli-barnica-death-miscarriage-texas-abortion-ban)** > > Josseli Barnica is one of at least two pregnant Texas women who died after doctors delayed emergency care.

I’ll cop to not being _that_ aware. And they’re probably hiding pretty effectively, or they’d get primaried in a [fetal\*] heartbeat. Any that exist in public office should just go independent and caucus with the Democrats. _Factionis Republicanis delendo est_, as Cicero would put it. ETA: \*Did you see what I did there? ---

Sure have. Pro choice, pro equal eights, anti–Trump…and probably the only reason he runs as a Republican is because a Democrat can’t win there. He supports the Republican platform about as much as I do. ---

Now I know you’re joking You might want to look up their two US Senators You might want to look up the party of their lone US Representative You might want to look up the percentage of members of their General Assembly that are Democrats Of the five top officers of the state, you might want to look up the party of the other four. OR You could just admit the above statement is incorrect. ---

This seems the best place to put this … Earlier today, with CNN on the the background, I heard an interview with Brittany Snow, who, it seems, was in a short film made in 2023. The film is called _Red, White and Blue,_ and it is a short, as it checks in at 22:37. Basically, the subject is abortion, and travelling from a state where it is illegal to a state where it is legal. I’m reluctant to say more, as to do so would lessen the impact (described by one reviewer as “a punch to the gut”). Anyway, Snow made the point that the film was available for free on YouTube, though I wasn’t able to catch whether there was a time limit on that. At any rate, I had a look at it, and I’d suggest that when it comes to the abortion debate, the film is well worth watching. Here you go: [![](https://img.youtube.com/vi/b-nn_dNEEQw/maxresdefault.jpg "WATCH: OSCAR® NOMINATED | RED, WHITE AND BLUE | SHORT FILM (FULL)") ](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=b-nn_dNEEQw) ---
