    Fuck everyone in this thread cheering this on. This is NOT the schadenfreude you think it is.

    Read the article you dipshits. This is not impacting the wealthy, or white areas, it’s impacting the poor black ones.

    All you lazy armchair activists are cheering on the actions that are guaranteed to raise the black infant mortality rate in Alabama even higher than it already is.

      Almost everyone in this thread is talking about how this is a bad thing and why it happened.

        When I came to the thread I just spammed my point across all the top comments, which were all cheering it on.

        So you’re just seeing my comments, and maybe others who came in after and also read the article.

    They’ll still be delivering babies, just doing it in the ER without specialists. You think maternal mortality is high now, they’re going for a New High Score!
