"Maternity Closures Leave Rural Areas in Lurch"

That is the title of a front page article by Toni Caryn Rabin in today’s New York Times.  The article notes there were at least 89 obstetric unit closures in rural hospitals across the country between 2015 and 2019, and many more closures are on the way.  In some areas expectant mothers must drive long distances on dangerous roads for medical care, if it is available at all. 


In the meantime “pro-life” groups are organizing to provide services to pregnant women in these areas.  NO, WAIT.  That isn’t happening.  Pro-life groups don’t give a rat’s ass about pregnant women as long as they don’t have abortions.
