"Pro-Life" party, my ass. These same people have no problem prosecuting women who have miscarriages, but an easily-preventable infant death is a sad mistake? Those poor babies are suffering excruciating pain. This takes "deplorable" to a whole new level.

This is on RFK, Jr.’s head and the heads of all of the supplements grifters and anti-vax know-nothings who follow them. Dead babies who didn’t need to die. A return to the Middle Ages courtesy of HHS and Republicans.

I can’t imagine being the parent of one of these poor babies. This romantic notion of a natural experience needs to be paired with education on the death rates of infants before medical advances intervened. No, medicine isn’t perfect, but it’s also not the enemy.

A profound sadness that some people are so weak minded and ignorant that they think feelings or ridiculous unsubstantiated posts are more important than medical science. It’s a sad indictment of the failures of education in America.
