you know how during the presidential debate Trump repeatedly made the false claim about 9th month abortions or postbirth abortions this is all a lie but I wanted to look something up do these Republicans claims of protecting women and children actually stand up to scrutiny do their actions match their words and here's what I found I pulled data for all 50 states on infant mortality and maternal mortality according to the CDC and depending on whether the governor supports abortion access or denies abortion access and the data is pretty pretty shocking of the top 15 states with the worst maternal mortality rate 13 of them are Republican run so how do Democratic run States rate on maternal mortality of the 15 states with the lowest maternal mortality rate 13 of them are democratic Run Okay so Republicans obviously don't care about mothers but what about babies Republicans care about babies right right of the top 15 states with the highest infant mortality rate 14 of them are Republican run a quick side note Michigan is only on that list because it was Republican run until just a couple years ago so how do Democrats rank on infant mortality of the top 15 states with the lowest infant mortality 14 of them are Democrat run so the lesson from all these facts is pretty simple don't fall for the Mega propaganda of ninth Monon abortions or postbirth abortions magas are trying to control us with misinformation the reality is that we need to have Federal protections for abortion and reproductive Health Access because for Women and Infants it is literally a matter of life or death
