Pregnant women can't access the #COVID vaccine. If they get #COVID and develop a fever, they can't take Tylenol? 🫠.
Both COVID infection and untreated maternal fever increase the risk of bad outcomes for both fetus and mother ranging from preterm delivery to death.
None of this is pro-life.

ACOG reaffirms that acetaminophen is safe for managing pain and fever during pregnancy. No reputable studies support suggestions like those in HHS’s recent announcement linking acetaminophen use in pregnancy to autism; in fact, high-quality studies show no such risk. https://bit.ly/47Wxc59

Let me make this very clear:
Being sarcastic about sexual assault while also anti science, and scaring pregnant people into not appropriately treating their pain while simultaneously belittling the lives of autistic people is really a full encapsulation of this administration.

Same-sex marriages have zero effect on religious extremists.

A same-sex married couple doesn't prevent your relationship with God or with Christ or your fidelity to Christ's teachings.

So, I'm left concluding that your faith in God is very fragile and weak in the first place.

Every reputable expert I know considers mRNA vaccine technology to be one of the most revolutionary advances in medicine in our lifetimes. Its inventors won the Nobel Prize in 2023. Shutting it down now is pointless self-harm to humanity.
Release from HHS: HHS will wind down its development of the mRNA vaccine development activities under the Biomedical Advanced Research and Development Authority (BARDA).

The Florida AG is arguing that the ABA (@americanbar.org) should lose the authority to accredit law schools in Florida because of its pattern of left-leaning political actions.

So wanting an independent judiciary and upholding the rule of law is woke?

Instead, they:

Kicked millions of people off health insurance

Politics in the US today is about as morally simple as it has ever been. The only relevant question is “Do you support totally eviscerating the already threadbare US social safety net to fund a system of concentration camps for immigrants and people of color, or do you not support that?”

We already consistently have a shortage of blood. If people could receive proper abortion care, we could avoid the need for transfusion and reduce the strain on our blood banks.
After Texas made performing abortions a felony, miscarriage became more dangerous. The number of blood transfusions in ED visits for first-trimester pregnancy loss shot up by 54%. My latest:

A review on the use of the preservative thimerosal in vaccines slated to be presented on Thursday to the CDC's outside vaccine committee cites a study that does not exist, the scientist listed as the study's author said.
