Rep. Keith Ellison (D-Minn.) is urging Democrats to the polls, saying women are dying because the left is losing elections.
The Democratic National Committee vice chairman spoke at a progressive training session on Friday and said the party needs to triumph at the ballot box for the sake of women's health.
Women are dying because we are losing elections, Ellison said. We dont have the right to lose a damn election. We have to win. We have to win.
Maternal morality is rising in states like Missouri and Texas, Ellison said.
The United States has one of the highest rates of maternal deaths among wealthy and developed countries.
In 2013, there were 28 maternal deaths per 100,000 births in the United States.
Missouri has the one of the highest maternal death rates in the nation, with 19.9 deaths per 100,00 births in 2016.
That rate places Missouri on par with countries like Belize and worse than poorer countries like Moldova and Costa Rica, the Kansas City Star reported last December.
The leading causes of maternal death in Missouri are all cardiac-related. The state's high rates of smoking and obesity worsen those complications.
The risks are magnified if a woman doesn't see a doctor regularly during pregnancy, like the 17.5 percent of Missouri women who received no prenatal care during their first trimester, the Star reported.
Last month, Ellison urged Democrats to support single-payer healthcare.
Hillary did the same thing. The 2016 campaign was actually starving because Hillary would not allow money to be spent unless it was on her and her alone. Donna Brazille begged for money for signs in those hinterland states and Hillary said no. Another reason why she lost.
Ya have a number of decades of doing that and you end up with a rickety base from which no true growth can take place. So, it cracks me up when the lamestream media announces that the next midterm election will be a bloodbath for the Republicans.
This is the true state of the democratic party in America:
How can you conquer anything when you are starving like the Venezuelans?
It seems to also happen in some parts of India, among Hindus.
Dems take power,
Bozo’s like this clown will be in charge.
Worthless muzzie....
And how many babies are dying every day in abortion clinics because democrats have won elections?
Missouri’s problems are because of the high number of blacks in St Louis & Kansas City. Fat, smoke, and other illegals substances.
Hey Ellison, get a clue: Women are dying every single day, and have been since Adam sinned in the Garden of Eden. And guess what? It has absolutely nothing to do with President Trump, the Republicans, or who's in political power.
...never liked cheese on a hotdog...
...more of a mustard relish or sauerkraut type...
And me. Ha!!
Ellison is wrong due to Democrat infanticide over 50 % of infants slaughtered are female. Isn’t shuddering female infants such a Boone to female movement?
Babies are dying because you’re winning elections.....
Coming from a muslim who treats dogs better than women
Oh mustard & relish all the way!
What Idiot wrote the article... Morality?? Or maybe Mohammad Ellison said it...
