2. My neighbor, a Catholic Nun

dislikes the "Right to Lifers" and is pro abortion because of this very reason.

3. Good for her, she's no hypocrite.

I have noticed "Right-to-Lifers" are generally pro-Death Penalty (I guess since most likely the defendant is a minority).

4. True, most "Right-to-Lifers" are generally pro-Death Penalty

But I think the reason is just like most repugs....they're hypocrites.

5. The maternal mortality rate in Louisiana is the highest, and racism has a lot to do with it.

Louisiana has a shocking 58.1 maternal deaths per 100,000 births, the highest in America. It also has a large black population. Even nationwide, the maternal death ratio for Black women (37.1 per 100,000 pregnancies) is 2.5 times the ratio for white women (14.7) and three times the ratio for Hispanic women (11.8). And it's not due to lack of education. A Black mother with a college education is at 60 percent greater risk for a maternal death than a white or Hispanic woman with less than a high school education. https://www.commonwealthfund.org/publications/issue-brief-report/2020/dec/maternal-mortality-united-states-primer

6. Wow. Thank you for the stats.

And I thought Mississippi led the US with such dismal figures. I wonder when the UN will send teams to the US to help us with our Third World problems. Thank you again.
