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.
Dude, the post birth care is massive. Babies are freaking hard to keep alive for a little while, if you don’t have the resources or the village to help, it’s tough.
Mississippi: “Not like that.”
Sorry, best we can do is…uhhh legislate trans hate
Republicans: What? Not a chance!
