Mothers? Surely they mean birthing persons!

We sure know how to be at the top of every bad list without even trying.

So , if the pregnant woman is a "mother", that means the clump of cells must be a "baby". Time for planned parenthood to burn AP to the ground.

Why is the number of cases of syphilis on the rise and why especially in New Mexico?

syphilis? Penicillin? It's the 1950's all over again.

After this country spent most of the 20th century eliminating or controlling most diseases known to man, at least inside our own borders, we stopped doing that and focused on keeping promiscous homosexuals alive.

And then we started letting every disease known to man walk back across into our borders.

Diversity has proven to be Satan's Strength.

I want to be careful how I say this.

Is there really a need to test all mothers or all pregnant women?

If a woman is monogamous is she really at high enough risk that we just want to automatically test her?

Sure let’s go ahead and test people who are at risk for a disease. But why the desire to just automatically test everyone in a certain group , when many of those people are at extremely low risk?

But these are of pregnant mothers likely having syphilis and having to be tested. Are you supposing the number of pregnant mothers in NM with syphilis is mostly women from across the border? Or given syphilis from men who had it that are all illegals?

Because actually syphilis IS on the rise across the U.S.

“If a woman is monogamous...”

Have you met women today?

Well, in NM a certain demographic is under 3%.

Because if the government says that monogamous mothers dont need testing, it makes the promiscuous mothers feel bad.

Not knowing how anybody can determine the relative risk of syphilis in one group compared to another, I can't answer your question. The excerpt talked about testing all pregnant women multiple times.

My comment was in two parts; one about reducing the risk of disease in this country, and the other about allowing many of those diseases to flourish again through uncontrolled borders. If the 2 parts are related, they would be compounding factors. Each one separately is a disaster.

Human trafficking where women have multiple partners would be my best guess. New Mexico is a border crossing state and it’s not uncommon for female border crossers to have been raped repeatedly on their journey.

Really?

Really?!

You don't think that there might be significant statistical differences between various easily-identifiable demographic groups?

For car insurance, criminality, AIDS, mayonnaise consumption - every conceivable kind of parameter, it is child's play to recognize differences between demographic groups.

But syphilis is somehow "different?"

Political Correctness gone mad!
