Rep. Majorie Taylor Greene (R-GA) took to Facebook on Tuesday to complain about Democrats trying to codify marriage and contraceptive rights to prevent the U.S. Supreme Court from undermining the freedoms.
The House on Tuesday passed the Respect for Marriage Act, which would protect marriage equality by repealing the Defense of Marriage Act (DOMA) and providing federal protections for same-sex and interracial couples.
The bill passed 267-157, with 47 Republicans joining every Democrat voting in favor of the bill.
While the Supreme Court struck down sections of DOMA in U.S. v. Windsor and Obergefell v. Hodges, the law still remains on the books.
The lower chamber will also take up later this week the Right to Contraception Act, which if passed would create a statutory right for people to access birth control and protect a range of contraceptive methods, as well as ensure health care providers have a right to provide contraception services to patients.
I think people are just tired of you, Karen.going by the post numbers, i see the anti-abortionists are pretttttttttty quiet on this issue. too hard to defend her comments?
The phenomenon of young girls having babies is relatively rare in the United States. In 2017, the last year for which data was available, there were 4,460 pregnancies among girls under 15, with just under half ending in abortion, according to the Guttmacher Institute, which supports abortion rights and surveys clinics regularly.
But globally, complications relating to pregnancy and childbirth are the leading cause of death for girls ages 15-19, according to the World Health Organization.
Young maternal age is associated with an increased risk of maternal anemia, infections, eclampsia and preeclampsia, emergency cesarean delivery and postpartum depression, according to a 2014 evaluation published in the Journal of Neonatal-Perinatal Medicine.

While a pregnant 10-year-old in Ohio might have access to prenatal care and a cesarean section that would blunt the effects of obstructed labor, the experience of pregnancy in a young girl is the same in India as it is in the United States, Dyalchand said. “The girls would go through more or less exactly the same kind of complication: The only difference is because of access to better health care they may not have the same kind of terrible outcomes. But that doesn’t mean that the girl’s body and her life doesn’t get scarred.”

“In normal physiology a 10-year-old child is not supposed to be pregnant. The point is, she’s a child and the child cannot deliver a child, she’s not ready,” Syed said, adding: “And the mental torture she will go through, that is not measurable.”
In the cases he has seen, early pregnancy arrests the very young mother’s physical growth, and also often her mental development because many girls leave school and lose normal social interaction with peers, he said. But while an anemic mother struggles to carry the pregnancy, fetuses appropriate nutrients and continue to grow, until they have well surpassed what a young mother’s pelvis can deliver.
“They go to labor for three days, four days, five days, and after that labor, usually the baby is dead. And then when the head is collapsed, then the baby is delivered,” said Syed, who is one of South Asia’s preeminent experts on the repair of obstetric fistula, a common outcome of obstructed labor in pregnant girls.

Why you might ask? Only 7% of the American people identify as very liberal, yet the Biden administration has filled administrative positions and his cabinet with radical leftists and outright weirdos, not a moderate among them. How could this happen? Joe Biden has never been a radical leftist in his 50 years in office yet here he is imposing the most radical left-wing policies ever foisted upon the American people. One has to wonder if the Marxists that have now taken control of the White House did so by following the lead of the CCP and simply blackmailed Joe into accepting these policies and instituting their minority-held course of actions.
