Too many women are dying in the United States while having babies. Amnesty International details the American maternal health care crisis, calling it part of a systematic violation of women’s rights. Funny how “pro-lifers” aren’t exactly latching on to the cause.

She said it here.

A month later, and another report on the same subject showing the same results, this time from the presumably non-human-rights-activist University of Washington, and we’re still not hearing from “pro-life” groups.

Goodness! You’d think “pro-life” was some kind of euphemism for “use pregnancy to punish any woman, married or not, for having sex.” Also known as “the wages of sin.”

I’ve mentioned this repeatedly in the past but unlike the euphemism “pro-life,” the pro-choice label is apt. The point of being pro-choice is to support women’s reproductive decision whether the decision is to become pregnant or avoid it, to terminate an unplanned, unwanted pregnancy or to carry a wanted pregnancy to term. (That’s why, for instance, Planned Parenthood is both the biggest provider of contraception services and pregnancy termination but also the biggest provider of prenatal care and post-partum care. That’s why, for instance pro-choice advocates oppose both efforts to limit access to birth control and abortion in the U.S., and opposed to force abortion in, say, China.)

This is why you’re hearing calls for reducing maternal mortality from pro-choice groups, and hearing diddly squat from “pro-life” organizations.
