Texas Banned Abortion. Then Sepsis Rates Soared. ProPublica’s first-of-its-kind analysis is the most detailed look yet into a rise in life-threatening complications for women experiencing pregnancy loss under Texas’ abortion ban.

"After the state banned abortion, dozens more pregnant and postpartum women died in Texas hospitals than had in pre-pandemic years... As the maternal mortality rate dropped nationally, ProPublica found, it rose substantially in Texas." www.propublica.org/article/texa...

How RFK Jr. Falsely Denied His Connection to a Deadly Measles Outbreak in Samoa He also championed a Samoan anti-vaxxer tied to the 2019 lethal eruption that killed scores of children.

The full low-down on RFK Jr.’s connection to a deadly measles outbreak in Samoa and, just as important, how he lied about it. That’s key. Kennedy is an inveterate liar. He makes up facts & plots, and he lies about what he himself has said. Another con man.
