When a pregnant woman refers to her pregnancy progress in weeks, not months.
Person A: "Wow, you're pregnant! How far along are you?"
Pregnant chick: "I'm 20 weeks."
Person A: "Oh so 5 months?"
Pregnant chick: "No, 20 weeks. It's the maternity metric system equivalent for 5 months. But saying it in weeks makes me sound better than everyone and it confuses and annoys people."

Have been steadily increasing since 2018 (Since BEFORE the overturning of Roe v. Wade) with a substantial uptick between 2020 and 2021.

Hym "Ohohohoho! You silly, silly news bitch. I thought I was the only one stupid enough to challenge a God. The claim 'that the disparities in maternal mortality rates can be attributed the overturning of Roe v. Wade' is retarded! And I can prove it (conceptually)! The line of reasoning is simple (because it wasn't thought up by a genius like me): States that banned abortions have higher maternal mortality rates, therefore, there must be some causal link between 'not having access to abortions' and 'maternal mortality.' But the question is: Wasn't the maternal mortality rate ALREADY HIGHER in those states anyway? Before 2022? Because the leading cause of maternal death isn't 'not being able to abort' but rather 1. Bleeding (after birth)/Cardiovascular conditions (according to the CDC) 2. Infection (after birth) 3. High blood pressure. Now... The claim is that 'States that don't have access to abortions have maternal mortality rates 3 times higher than states that have access' but, as we've already established, that was ALREADY THE CASE. So, if it isn't the abortions, what could possibly be the cause!?
Well, it seems like 2 out of the top 3 causes of maternal mortality rates are related to OBESITY. And if you look at the 'obesity rates (by state)' and compare them to the 'maternal mortality rates (by state)' you'll notice something quite interesting... There is ALMOST a 1 to 1 correlation between 'states with high maternal mortality' and 'states with high obesity rates.' And I bet you can't guess WHICH STATES have the highest rates of obesity/maternal mortality? I'll give you hint 🫷😒 It's the ones that ban abortions. The mortality rate has nothing to do with the abortion ban. So, by you own logic, you are either LYING or you aren't very smart. Because it took me 30 second to do what you and an entire team of news people and fact checkers COULDN'T do (even though you were trying really hard and I was not). Which was 'be right.' Which I am. I'm always right. Now, maybe if you actually cared about womens lives and you weren't trying to conflate abortions (defined as the unnecessary disposal of your offspring) with saving a woman's life after a pregnancy becomes ectopic, doctors wouldn't have to walk the conceptual tight rope when dealing with a potentially life threatening pregnancy. And if you cared about the truth I would be getting paid for the things I've written. Maybe medically necessary vs unnecessary is a distinction you should be making when talking about abortion."
