Video Abortion Restrictions Boost Domestic Violence
Video Abortion Restrictions Boost Domestic Violence
Did you know that your chance of getting killed in America increases by 20% once you become pregnant? With all men's preaching about how motherhood is a woman's ultimate honor and whatnot, you might think that getting pregnant and giving birth would make you safer. In reality, it just makes you more vulnerable, not more respected.
In that connection, I saw this yesterday on the News Hour. It's excellent. Centering on the reality that homicide, not complications arising from childbirth itself, is the leading cause of death for pregnant and postpartum women in the United States, it details evidence that U.S. states that have enacted strict abortion bans since the overturning of Roe V. Wade a few years ago have seen upticks in rates of domestic violence that others haven't and why that is. Prepare for a sobering, and revolting, education on male schemes in deliberately baby trapping women so they won't leave the relationship and much more. Featuring interviews with survivors. Just in case you heterosexual ladies were lacking motivation to stay single.
