This thread is about math, stillbirth, and people’s inability to grasp really big numbers.
According to the CDC, approximately 1 in 160 pregnancies ends in stillbirth aka a dead fetus in your uterus that needs to be removed.
I’m struggling to comprehend the ignorance of policy makers about what happens during pregnancy/miscarriage.
Yesterday I learned that they didn’t know that you usually miscarry into a toilet. They didn’t know that your medical team sends you home to miscarry.
1/x
They don’t know the difference between Plan B and meds used to manage miscarriages.
They don’t know the difference between zygote/embryo/fetus.
They don’t know a miscarriage is called an “abortion” on a woman’s medical chart.
2/x
I think we need to relentlessly share our stories of our experiences so that it reduces the stigma around negative pregnancy outcomes. Because you usually don’t find out unless you go through it yourself.

Came here to say:
A miscarriage is medically termed “abortion.”
Proper care for miscarriage is having the dead baby scraped or vacuumed out of your uterus. This is called “abortion”.
They have criminalized care for MISCARRIAGES.

Remember, the kitty litter is for when we are locked down in a small classroom during a shooting event. Kids use the restroom in a bucket. The kitty litter helps with the smell.
ITS FOR SCHOOL SHOOTINGS.
@antifaoperative
This is why evangelicals oppose teaching sex education/health education to kids of this age. Because when they understand boundaries of proper/improper behavior, they recognize abuse. You can’t report it if you don’t understand what’s happening.

But oh my heck, if we close schools for a few weeks, my local media says all the kids will starve to death and/or develop mental Illness.
Weird how that never happens over summer break.
Thank you, everyone who is sharing personal stories of miscarriage and loss. I’m trying to respond to as many as possible. If I missed yours, please know that I’m sorry for your loss and I’m glad you survived the experience.
@LeratoMannya
Of course this is why they don’t want schools teaching about sexuality. Kids who are abused but don’t understand consent/bodily autonomy think SA is just business as usual. Signed: a CSA survivor.
@mpdillon
For real. You can’t even test for those abnormalities until 20 weeks! You can’t abort at 15 weeks for a problem that isn’t diagnosed until 20 weeks or later.
Abortions is healthcare. Keep politicians out of OB/GYN care.

Stay TF out of New Mexico. We have the fewest ICU per population in the USA. That’s why we are the only SW or southern state to take this disease seriously. Texas and their lackadaisical vax rates and nonexistent masks need to stay in TX.

Remember, kids: when we are talking about medical procedures, if something is scheduled it is “elective”. If it occurs in the ER, it is no elective. Open heart surgery is elective!

My friend had a post 20 week fetal demise.
As in dead fetus in her uterus.
She went to PP because they were the only option for the D&C. She was spat on by holier-than-thou Christian protesters while going to her appointment.
@janefortruth
No one talks enough about this!
Evangelical girls who get pregnant & are forced to “go away” for a while, or who become “unwed mothers” are shamed by the very faith community that loudly declares their love for the fetus.
@SMurray1000
I’m sorry that happened to you. ❤️❤️❤️I think people ask such ridiculous questions because they don’t understand what happens when you miscarry. You lose so much blood, you can go into shock.

They just want us to die so they can stop watching their own kids. It’s madness. If this was about learning, online learning would be embraced as a great choice. This is about babysitting.
@tormntos
Right. Pregnancy is a biological process & it doesn’t always go the way it says in the brochure. 🙄Add the fact that it’s taboo to talk about pregnancy complications & miscarriage, and the forced birthers can dominate the discourse.
@mollyfleck
We all saw your tweet saying your kids needed to blow off steam and that you needed a trampoline. Now you are trying to control the narrative by continuing to demand libraries cater to your needs, instead of using your g membership or any other areas in your very large city. 🤪

Too bad they don’t have the water cannons they used against indigenous folx. I wonder why the treatment is so different now. They could just shoot at the truckers using rubber bullets & bean bags, right? Cause that’s totally cool for water protectors. 🙄

Maybe this is why the Pope put out a statement that refusing the vaccine is suicidal.
Maybe we should start considering these antivax deaths to be due to self harm. Suicide.

Check my pinned tweet. It explains the scope of the math. It’s literally tens of thousands every year in the US. Right wing fools keep putting out misinformation, but lots of pregnancies are simply not viable. It’s a taboo subject so maybe that’s why you are ignorant.

We had our first “mask optional indoors” day Friday. So proud of my 11-14 yr old students - only 1 out of 100+ chose to be maskless. Many 8th graders shared horror stories of how sick they were with COVID as their reason for masking. All this drama is from adults, not kids.
@loveliYungWoman
It’s really sad because this happened 10 years ago (natural gas lines freezing). NM lost gas for 4 days because of TX utilities. So, our then-governor- a Republican- made sure our infrastructure was upgraded. Voila. We didn’t go down with TX this time.

@Emerald37227481
How do you think someone could have 20 abortions in one year? I’m honestly curious why you think this is possible.
We have 12-13 periods per year. Getting pregnant + scheduling abortion is approx 7-8 weeks minimum.
52 weeks / 8 weeks = 6-7 pregnancies per year.
@Mr_Rablin
And also a non-zero number of students speak little to no English. Some have complex medical needs. Some have complex mental health issues. Many are ill prepared for the meeting (no charger, no computer, haven’t eaten yet).

When I had my 20 week US, the tech explained that we were checking for all of the organs. You don’t find out about situation’s incompatible with life until that visit.

😳and then the teacher who can’t pronounce the kid’s name wonders why the kid doesn’t respect them & why their parents aren’t engaged in the educational process.

I’m sorry that happened to you.
I don’t like it when prolifers argue with me that a D&C is only for abortion, never to save someone’s life.

Selfish sociopathic people are leading to the spread of C in little kids & vulnerable folx
As a teacher, I’ve attended several funerals of students throughout my career. Losing a student is awful.
I am furious and I have no more empathy for folx who are anti mask & anti vax.
@OppenheimerFoto
@tylerkingkade
Right. I’m sorry it’s so ducking awful for people to think about what is actually happening wrt litter at schools that they invented an entire conspiracy about it.
It’s the guns. If you don’t want kitty litter at school, then control the guns.

As a high school teacher none of the actions by Parkland students is surprising. My kiddos are experts at using online systems to research, write, create, motivate and influence. Welcome to the future.

Double or triple my prep time.
50 minutes per day is not enough to answer emails, grade papers, upload grades into the online system, plan for next lessons, clean/organize classroom, etc.
@LqLana
People don’t understand the amount of time this takes from 10 weeks to 40 for delivery. She would have to suffer through 30+ weeks of pregnancy knowing there’s no chance. Or she could abort and try to get pregnant again in about 5 weeks.

Nah. Pro forced birthers love to use “but who will take care of you” as a reason to force people to gestate unwanted pregnancies.

Also if you buy 20 pounds of dried beans, it will feed many students out of a crockpot on days when they have performances and have to be on campus for 12+ hours. And if stupid entitled folks eat some beans, good for them. 🙄I had one complain about the flavor once.
@SwearingsCaring
This is a great thread, thank you. It also, to me, helps me understand why this same demographic of men flips out about abortion rights, because they see their sperm as the only thing of value they can offer. Probably why they freak out about post menopausal women too.

As a teacher, I agree 100%. And phones. Social media is educating them in this area. An 11 year old was using the word cisgender correctly, and I know she didn’t learn that in class.
My friend’s husband has a job exterminating problematic mountain lions. He uses a bow & arrow. To kill lions. Lions that are sometimes 8 feet long. No one needs assault rifles unless they are killing humans.

I’m sure that hcws feel like mental health professionals when dealing with this level of delusion in the patients. It’s so tragic and you’re right, it’s wiping out whole family lines.
As a teacher, we will be the frontline mental health pros for the orphaned. 😔🤬🥲
