Yes, the states with the highest infant mortality, are also the states that have outlawed abortions
Because I have a dark sense of humor.
Leopards are eating veal.
Bit in all seriousness, while this is absolutely horrible it’s just honestly expected.
Hey, if you die in infancy, at least you’re spared having to live in Mississippi
Mississippi has long been the lowest bar that other shitty states point to and say “At least we aren’t Mississippi!”
Just a reminder that Mississippi didn’t ratify the 13th amendment (yes, the slavery one) until 2013.
And didn’t get rid of the racist flag until 4 years ago.
Can confirm. Occasionally we also refer to Alabama but Mississippi is the go to.
I had the unfortunate experience of picking up the term ‘human veal’ from the SCP Wiki.
I approve of this dark joke.
Cause you stopped freaking vaccinating people.
One step closer to gilliad
Fuck them. Less conservatives isn’t a loss.
As a leftist with conservative parents, maybe this opinion could be reconsidered.
Babies dying is bad, mkayWe know how to solve this, and the infuriating part is the people most affected refuse to listen.
We all deal with this fact differently, and I think it’s why we see some of these macabre opinions.
For the record, you’re right. We should never stop being empathetic.
The right made it clear. Empathy is a sin and I am done sinning when it comes to them.
They don’t care about babies so I don’t care about theirs. Thoughts and prayers.
You’re the type of sour cunt that causes others to fail
Tell that to Pete Hesgeth’s pastor.
The data also show that the Black infant mortality rate in Mississippi was more than twice as high as the mortality rate for white infants in 2024.
Might not be conservatives there, m8
Unintended casualties due to conservative policies.
Fuck them tho, right?
Do you… Do you think people are born conservative? That’d be like saying you were born stupid.
Conservatives have enlarged amygdalas. So actual yes you can be born predisposed to conservativism.
You’re spouting nonsense and hate, are you sure you’re not a conservative? You seem very conservative.
My parents are conservative and I have the exact opposite political beliefs. People aren’t born conservative, they are taught it. Wishing death on infants is just fucked up no matter how you look at it.
Zero sum game. Just like they want.
You know who else celebrates the death of children that they don’t like? Israel. Don’t you fucking dare pass judgement on children without understanding the consequences of that mentality. Be mad at the people that got them killed, not the victim.
I really am finding hard to shed a tear for the same people that want to stone homosexuals, want to murder Liberals, and are driving medical professionals out of the state causing this issue because of their fucked up policies.
Do the infants have that mentality? Sure, their parents are fucked up people, but do the infants deserve to die for the actions of their parents? Do I deserve to die because my dad voted for Trump? I was an infant once, too.
I’m not saying you have to shed a tear for the people that caused this. But not shedding a tear for innocent children that are the victims is a slippery slope you do not want to go down, my friend.
Would they shed a tear for your kids?
Yeah, they would. Not the politicians or hardcore MAGA people online, but the people in my community that overwhelmingly voted for trump definitely would. The majority of them are radicalized and indoctrinated, not evil. My parents voted for Trump but I don’t think they’d celebrate my death just because of what I voted for.
You are lost, my friend. I hope you find your way that doesn’t involve being happy when children die. If your fight against radicalization turns you into a radical yourself the only thing you’ll accomplish is moving the target.
Fewer conservatives.
Because of the obesity in Mississippi there isn’t “less” conservatives.
You’re right.
I really hate upvoting such a tragedy but this really needs more attention
Damn, even the next generation doesn’t want to live in Mississippi
Mississippi. The state mentioned in the article is Mississippi.
Its also how their life expectancy is calculated. 10mississippi…9mississippi…8mississippi…
Thank God for Miss-… Wait, not like that.
Mississippi health officials declared a public health emergency last week in response to the state’s rising infant mortality rate.
Doctor Dan Edney said the best way to reduce infant mortality is by improving maternal health. “That means better access to prenatal and postpartum care, stronger community support and more resources for moms and babies,” Edney wrote.
Mississippi: “Not like that.”
Republicans: What? Not a chance!
Sorry, best we can do is…uhhh legislate trans hate
Oh no! They’re facing the consequences of their actions!
Dying is preferable to being born in Mississippi.
It’s what Jesus wanted.
Conservative Jesus not Canon Jesus.
Well, let’s see, you’ve closed planned parenthood and outlawed abortion, so more women have to carry sicker babies to term. You’ve gutted Medicaid and lower-cost health insurance, so women can’t afford to get themselves or their babies treated when they become sick. You’ve gutted reproductive services, women’s health services, and prenatal services, so even women carrying healthy babies who can afford healthcare will be generally less healthy. The pandemic reduced the overall number of qualified medical staff in all fields, making access to care even harder to get, and you’ve made that even harder by offering some of the lowest wages in the nation and enacting laws that are hostile, to medical providers, to women, to parents and families, and to public health. Your state is, and has been for decades, the literal definition of social murder.
So now you’re worried and have declared a “public health emergency”, great. What exact, explicit, concrete steps are you going to take to reverse that trend?
What’s that I hear? crickets.
More abortion restrictions so they can keep making babies faster than they die.
Immediate executive order to get troops on the street. Should fix it.
Instructions unclear. Sending troops to Chicago
Troops show up in the Virgin Islands and outnumber the locals. “Fuckin whoops”
Please don’t joke about sending troops when you know that could be their solution to the “birth rate crisis”.
They’re gonna pray super hard. Or at least they’ll tell people they are.
My condolences to 38% of the population.
As a side note, future generations will look back and be like… how did you knowingly vote for someone so clearly evil that his official portrait looks like this
It’s like voting for Lex Luthor. Which, yes, he also became president… and was somehow a better president than Trump.
