Texas doctor who said nine-year-olds can safely give birth appointed to maternal mortality committee
Texas doctor who said nine-year-olds can safely give birth appointed to maternal mortality committee
Dr Ingrid Skop called the supreme court’s overturning of Roe v Wade ‘a victory’ and has argued in favor of abortion bans
That's like putting a wolf in charge of a flock of sheep
Or, like maybe putting a dangerously delusional medical doctor in charge of a Maternal Mortality Panel.
Oh, come on. It's not like she was appointed to the Maternal Immortality Panel or anything. Because she would clearly be unqualified for that one.
She's got this mortality thing locked down though.
Listen, I know wolves. I grew up with them, I know how they think and act. No one is better suited to handle this wolf issue than me.
There's just so many Easter eggs in this still frame from one of her interviews.
Amazing.
Of course a show called "The Truth" is nothing but lies. 😂
Not just "The Truth", but "The Absolute Truth"!
The USSR state newspaper was called Pravda - so the Truth in English.
"Self managed" abortions are extremely dangerous
Well no shit Sherlock, that's why we want competent, trained medical professionals to administer them.
The Deregulated Texas Oblast taking everything to a new level of insanity. Build a wall around Florida and Texas.
How do these people not lose their medical licenses and become ostracized?
What a stupid cunt
That's an insult to cunts: she lacks both the warmth and the depth
Maybe she has some daughters she’d like people to meet!
The Republic of Texas sounds better and better every day
This is the best summary I could come up with:
“This appointment speaks volumes about how seriously certain state leaders are taking the issue of maternal mortality,” said Kamyon Conner, executive director of the Texas Equal Access Fund, an abortion assistance group that advocates for reproductive health equity.
Skop serves as vice-president and director of medical affairs for the national anti-abortion research group Charlotte Lozier Institute and is a member of the American Association of Pro-Life Obstetricians and Gynecologists.
Skop – who has called the supreme court’s overturning of Roe v Wade “a victory in the battle but not the end of the war” – has argued in favor of forcing rape and incest victims as young as nine or 10 to carry pregnancies to term.
The studies were ultimately retracted by the academic publisher for “unjustified or incorrect factual assumptions”, as well as errors and misleading presentations of the data that showed a “lack of scientific rigor and invalidate the authors’ conclusions in whole or in part”.
Nakeenya Wilson, who nearly lost her life giving birth in Texas, sat on the committee as an outspoken community advocate, pushing for the release of data when the state health commissioner delayed publication of the report in 2022.
As a voice for people of color, Wilson championed the stories of black women, who are disproportionately affected by maternal mortality rates both nationally and in Texas.
The original article contains 979 words, the summary contains 223 words. Saved 77%. I'm a bot and I'm open source!
Great. I hate to see how high the rate of birth by children due to rape spike in the state.
