    There’s some truth to his statement as far as the numbers go and perhaps some correction is needed. Obviously, you wouldn’t want to entirely remove the stats of African American women, as that would be blatantly racist, but it seems some for of compromise is warranted.

    Perhaps counting only half of them? or perhaps slightly more than half, say 6/10ths

      Very strong scientific and historical basis for going with 3/5ths. But if some stats make America look bad, I think 0/3rds would fix it, and fire the agency lead if they don’t go with 0/5ths of a person for black women. America was great when it was 3/5ths, and so 0/5ths is needed immediately to make America great again before my 3rd term election.

    “Our maternal death rates are only bad because of inherent racism in our medical industry”

    Funniest headline The Onion could have ever come up with!!!

    Maybe the medicaid cuts will make the black women count rise faster than the white women count, and that will make it ok :(

    Ah, I have a modest proposal. Let’s count 60% of maternal deaths from black women. /s

      We wouldn’t want people to forget what a racist Sen Bill Cassidy is.

      I hope this article makes the rounds again next year, right around the time he is up for reelection.

      but the article is 3 years old.

      So you think he has learned from his mistakes and improved his atrocious stance?

        Im impressed that you managed to read the second half of my comment without reading the first. The whole comment is a dozen words, so thats a real feat.

          I did read it, I just found questionable as it seems you are dismissing this as too old to care

          Cassidy is still a Senator and a piece of shit, so what does it matter if the racist thing he said is 3 years old?

            I literally said hes still a piece of shit, so that should answer your first question. As to “how is this not relevant?”

            The article is talking about what might happen if Roe is overturned by the supreme court, and what that might mean down the line. That happened already. We are out of “might” and are several years down the line.

            Lets talk about what’s currently happening, now. Discussing a speculative article about changes that “may occur in the future” is pretty odd when we are 3 years in the future and can literally tell the article what happened.
