Listened to Jamie Harris - Lindsay Graham's Opponent talk about this today - More hypocrisy

He was speaking about the challenges facing South Carolina. He mentioned 12 hospitals closed. Towns without OB//GYN providers. It just shows how the Republican Party has managed to keep their electorate voting against their own interests. The party that continues to talk about right to life. Does not think pregnant mothers should have access to care during pregnancy. Should they not be demanding better than this? Jeezus H. Crist! -

An article discussing the issue
MARLBORO COUNTY, S.C. (WCIV) — Why is maternal care is disappearing in rural communities in South Carolina?

Many mothers with high risk pregnancies live in counties without an OB/GYN resulting in pregnant moms driving for hours just to see a doctor.

In Marlboro County, there is no obstetrician who delivers babies.

The March of Dimes says seven other counties in South Carolina have no OB/GYN at all.

They are: Abbeville, Allendale, Barnwell, Lee, Mccormick, Saluda and Williamsburg counties, impacting nearly 60,000 women of child-bearing age.

White male rethugs have NO idea about any of this, nor do they care one whit. As long as them wimmins don’t kill their babies they just do not care.

F-ing fake Christian hypocrites.
