@ProPublica It’s no exaggeration to call it The War on Women.

    @ProPublica Ugh I’m just a lowly EMT - not a doctor- and even I know that preeclampsia can lead to eclampsia which can lead to, as we say, seizure, coma, death.This is basic medical training that’s being, apparently, thrown out the window.

    @ProPublica My heart goes out to these women who died to Christian Nationalism and misogyny. I am glad I am in Canada but I still find it heart rending.

    @ProPublica @alice This is horrible and my heart goes out to her family. I wonder when the Republicans who pushed this murderous legislation will be put behind bars for murder?
