Bingo. It's more the behavior of pregnant women, especially those in certain demographics, leading to trouble than it is the country or its policies.

It was prior to the 60s. Why did so many young girls who left town when they were pregnant lose the babies?
If abortion was outlawed - it won't be - it would go back to being called "miscarriages', the original term for an abortion - shhh.

Just one example of how:

"The study found the unvaccinated animals developed normally, while the vaccinated monkeys demonstrated the survival reflex delays. According to one of the lead investigators, Dr. Laura Hewitson of the University of Pittsburgh, 'Infants of lower birth weight and gestational age were at greater risk.'"

In the U.S., the CDC recommends that Hep B vaccine be given to newborns.

US 'worst place to be a mother' among developed nations - report ? RT USA
From the article:


Quote:
A woman in the United States is more than 10 times as likely as a woman in Austria, Belarus or Poland to die from a pregnancy-related cause, according to a comprehensive report, State of the World's Mothers 2015, published by Save the Children.
Very complicated and difficult births are more likely to go full term here in the US where they may be aborted in other counties. This is also one of the reasons for the higher mortality rates here in the US.

Comparing countries becomes very difficult becsue of factors like this, if you want another example any baby that takes a breath in the US is counted as live birth. In some counties severely underweight babies even if they lived for a short time are not.

Many of those countries aren't considered developed.

Since the grievance industries hierarchy has been a bit topsy turvy lately, the women are tying to claw their way back up. African American held the top spot for a while, then it bounced to the transgendered for Caitlin, then Rachel D messed it up for a while but it rocketed back to the AA's after South Carolina.

Now that the LGBT crowd had a really really awesome weekend gloating and poking eyes at their detractors...I mean celebrating equality... the women are gonna have to bring out the heat in order to get back into the top 5.

This must be the opening salvo.
