Well, let’s see, you’ve closed planned parenthood and outlawed abortion, so more women have to carry sicker babies to term. You’ve gutted Medicaid and lower-cost health insurance, so women can’t afford to get themselves or their babies treated when they become sick. You’ve gutted reproductive services, women’s health services, and prenatal services, so even women carrying healthy babies who can afford healthcare will be generally less healthy. The pandemic reduced the overall number of qualified medical staff in all fields, making access to care even harder to get, and you’ve made that even harder by offering some of the lowest wages in the nation and enacting laws that are hostile, to medical providers, to women, to parents and families, and to public health. Your state is, and has been for decades, the literal definition of social murder.
So now you’re worried and have declared a “public health emergency”, great. What exact, explicit, concrete steps are you going to take to reverse that trend?

What’s that I hear? crickets.
Immediate executive order to get troops on the street. Should fix it.
Instructions unclear. Sending troops to Chicago
Troops show up in the Virgin Islands and outnumber the locals. “Fuckin whoops”
They’re gonna pray super hard. Or at least they’ll tell people they are.
More abortion restrictions so they can keep making babies faster than they die.
