“…For example, 29% of US Republicans opposed the US Supreme Court decision to overturn Roe v. Wade and 38% said abortion should be legal in most or all cases [ 34 ]. Relatedly, despite being a conservative state, Kansas voted strongly against an abortion ban earlier this year [ 35 ]. Similarly, the recent Australian election saw the conservative-leaning Liberal Party lose several of its heartland seats to independents who campaigned on the issue of climate change [ 36 ].…”

Would I lie to you? Party affiliation is more important than Brexit in processing political misinformation

In recent years, the UK has become divided along two key dimensions: party affiliation and Brexit position. We explored how division along these two dimensions interacts with the correction of political misinformation. Participants saw accurate and inaccurate statements (either balanced or mostly inaccurate) from two politicians from opposing parties but the same Brexit position (Experiment 1), or the same party but opposing Brexit positions (Experiment 2). Replicating previous work, fact-checking statements led participants to update their beliefs, increasing belief after fact affirmations and decreasing belief for corrected misinformation, even for politically aligned material. After receiving fact-checks participants had reduced voting intentions and more negative feelings towards party-aligned politicians (likely due to low baseline support for opposing party politicians). For Brexit alignment, the opposite was found: participants reduced their voting intentions and feelings for opposing (but not aligned) politicians following the fact-checks. These changes occurred regardless of the proportion of inaccurate statements, potentially indicating participants expect politicians to be accurate more than half the time. Finally, although we found division based on both party and Brexit alignment, effects were much stronger for party alignment, highlighting that even though new divisions have emerged in UK politics, the old divides remain dominant.

“…Despite many US states following the Supreme Court ruling, the Republican state of Kansas recently voted to allow abortion. 7 In the UK, although the public and politicians are supportive of abortion, it remains a criminal act under certain circumstances. 8 Only Northern Ireland in the UK has decriminalised abortion, but that sea change in law is not yet matched by provision of services.…”

The best response to US criminalisation of abortion is decriminalisation elsewhere

In 2008, 4.4 million abortions were performed in Latin America, 95% of which were "unsafe." 1 By 2015, the region recorded the highest number of maternal deaths per head. Women's rights groups catalysed legal and social mobilisation-"the green wave"-to decriminalise abortion. Their success, to which Mexico was central, can be measured by the fact that three of the region's four most populous nations have decriminalised abortion. The green wave movement had looked to women's rights in the United States for inspiration. Now, with the US Supreme Court overturning Roe v Wade, sexual and reproductive rights are under threat globally. 2 3

This article reviews the infectious complications of abortion (both spontaneous and induced) and the management of this condition. The key points are: (1) Making abortion illegal does not reduce its incidence or prevalence; rather, it only makes abortions unsafe, increasing the likelihood of infectious complications. (2) Timely recognition of developing sepsis in the pregnant patient is critical. This requires constant vigilance and a high index of suspicion. (3) Rapid intravenous administration of broad-spectrum antibiotics targeted to the likely intrauterine source of infection as soon as sepsis is diagnosed is critical to prevent severe sepsis, septic shock, and multisystem organ failure. (4) The mainstay of treatment is prompt evacuation of any residual products of conception from within the uterine cavity under broad-spectrum antibiotic cover targeting the likely intrauterine source of infection. (5) Prompt engagement of specialists in both critical care and obstetrics-gynecology is necessary to optimize outcomes in patients with septic abortion.
