I don't think primary voters had much to do with it. It was more that no viable alternative actually stepped up to challenge him.

Advocates are worried about #abortion data collected by the government that isn't protected by health privacy law @kelciemmorris.bsky.social reports wisconsinexaminer.com/2024/06/03/s...

States are already collecting more abortion data. And HIPAA won’t always keep it private. • Wisconsin Examinerwisconsinexaminer.com Two exceptions to HIPPA that could affect abortion patients are for law enforcement and public health reporting.

I personally think schools should adopt policies of having no phones at all except between classes and at break times but becoming so obsessed with it that one of your assignments is a "detox challenge" is a whole other thing

Louisiana could become the first state in the country to categorize abortion pills as controlled dangerous substances, threatening incarceration and fines if an individual possesses the pills without a valid prescription.

A decision could come as soon as the end of June to decide whether Idaho’s near-total abortion ban means doctors who need to terminate a pregnancy during a health emergency would be protected from prosecution under the Emergency Medical Treatment and Labor Act. Via @kelciemmorris.bsky.social

Some Idaho physicians now advise pregnant patients, or those trying to become pregnant, to purchase memberships with medical air transport companies to avoid potentially significant costs if they need transport out of state for care in an emergency Via @kelciemmorris.bsky.social @statesnewsroom.com

Not sure how much longer I can stand being on Twitter on this beat. The amount of times I have been called an abortion propagandist for tweeting about people needing emergency medical care this week alone is so damn high

During a press call this morning, St. Luke's chief medical officer Dr. Jim Souza says for all of last year, 1 patient was airlifted from Idaho to another state for maternal complications. Since January, when SCOTUS lifted the EMTALA protection from the abortion ban, it has happened 6 times.

If that pace continues, that would be up to 20 patients this year who would need to be airlifted to other states for termination because of complications like preterm water rupture, which often leads to infection.

Preterm premature rupture of membranes (PPROM) is one of the most common complications during pregnancy. Last year, it occurred 54 times at St. Luke's, about once a week.

My latest legislative tracker is a mix, including abortion 'coercion' and 'trafficking' bills, a contraception bill that passed in Alabama but with time running out on the legislative clock, and a $2 million allocation to crisis pregnancy centers in Kansas

Powerful story from @kelciemmorris.bsky.social. Alabama subjects doctors who perform abortions to up to 99 years prison, and politicians have created a climate where a person not only has to grieve a child that won't make it to term, but also has to drive 11 hours for a critical medical procedure.

Kelly Shannon carried a fetus with a tumor that took up one-third of its body. It would not survive term. An abortion should have been allowed, even under Alabama's strict ban. But UAB declined to perform it.

In February, I traveled to Clarksville, Tennessee, to meet Allie Phillips and spend a few hours canvassing her neighborhood, where she talked to people about one of the worst things that has ever happened to her — when she had to leave the state to terminate a nonviable pregnancy.

Right! I got so many downvotes too when the Erowhon episode came out for saying you subscribed to support the main feed content too. I love MP because you can tell a TON of work goes into the episodes. I subscribe to acknowledge that too. But maybe I’m just a triggered former newspaper reporter 🤪

You would not believe how shitty people have been on Reddit. It’s ridiculous how entitled they feel about this. I have been downvoted so many times for simply defending you
