How climate change threatens pregnant women and their fetuses
CBS News ^ | November 9, 2021 | BY CARA KORTE

World leaders will turn their focus to gender Tuesday at the U.N. global climate summit in Glasgow, Scotland. Globally, women are more vulnerable to the effects of climate change than men, as they make up a majority of the world's poor and depend most on natural resources, according to the U.N.'s Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change. In the United States, one subgroup of women are particularly at risk: pregnant women.

As global temperatures and emissions rise, so does the impact of climate change on public health. More pollutants from automobiles, fossil fuel plants and smoke from wildfires degrades air quality. This means at-risk populations, such as pregnant women and developing fetuses, are more likely to suffer from cardiac disease, respiratory disease and puts stress on mental health.

Climate-related exacerbation of air pollution and heat exposure significantly increases the risk to maternal, fetal and infant health, according to a 2020 JAMA Network review that assessed more than 32 million U.S. births.

The review also confirmed that mothers most threatened are those with asthma and minorities, especially Black women.

"Pregnancy is a natural stress test. So if folks are already stressed through environmental racism, environmental injustice, their stress is only exacerbated during the very fragile time of pregnancy and childbirth," said Kelly Davis, chief of birth equity innovation at the National Birth Equity Collaborative, a reproductive justice non-profit.

National and international climate discussions, like the U.N. summit, overlook the immediate needs of marginalized communities, Davis told CBS News.

Prove it. Yet, you remain silent about pregnant women getting the jab and 91% experience miscarriages.

Sure, because no woman has given birth outside a very narrow temperature range.

#5 on the billboard...”Gender equality”. Isn’t that impossible if the two genders are not the same?

#1, end poverty? How exactly, I’m sick of the wealth redistribution / confiscation from wealthier countries to poor ones. Food and medicine is fine, but not propping up dictators.

Good thing our elites are killing off pregnant women and their babies quickly with the jab rather than put them through a long lingering death via climate change. Oh the compassion!

I was gonna say that. Who cares about nursing moms with their infants getting crazy blood diseases from the vaccinations? Forget them!

Pffftttt. As if CBS cares about a woman’s fetus. Normally, they encourage women to kill them.

And they referred to “pregnant women”. Don’t they know a professor of medicine was reprimanded for using that term and implying that only women can become pregnant? Sheesh!

All earthling women migrate to an equatorial spot each year where birthing at the required 72.8 degree temperature can occur. ...
