'Pregnancy is not a life-threatening illness': Ted Cruz takes heat in call to ban abortion pill

Cruz made the comment as part of a GOP push for the FDA to declare Mifeprex, or the "abortion pill," an "imminent hazard to the public health."

www.usatoday.com

Sen. Ted Cruz came under fire from abortion-rights proponents after saying Wednesday on social media that pregnancy is not a "life-threatening illness" when the U.S. has the highest maternal death rate out of the world's developed nations.

Cruz made the comment in a tweet promoting a letter signed by himself and other Republican senators calling on the Food and Drug Administration to declare Mifeprex, also known as the "abortion pill," an "imminent hazard to the public health" and removed from the market.

"Pregnancy is not a life-threatening illness, and the abortion pill does not cure or prevent any disease," Cruz said. "Make no mistake, Mifeprex is a dangerous pill. That’s why 20 of my Republican colleagues and I are urging @US_FDA to classify it as such."

Yeah, pregnancy is not life-threatening...

Why does Texas have the highest maternal death rate in the developed world?

Texas has the highest rate of maternal mortality in all of the developed world. One lawmaker hopes a task force will determine why this is.

How a Plan to Save the Power System Disappeared

A federal lab found a way to modernize the grid, reduce reliance on coal, and save consumers billions. Then Trump appointees blocked it.

www.theatlantic.com

Indeed.

Coal is down by 34% since Trump took office. At that rate it will be gone in 8 years, not decades, without grid improvements or Green New Deal programs.

US trade deficit surges in July to highest in 12 years

WASHINGTON (AP) — The U.S. trade deficit surged in July to $63.6 billion, the highest level in 12 years, as imports jumped by a record amount...

apnews.com

The Commerce Department reported that the July deficit, the gap between what America buys and what it sells to foreigners, was 18.9% higher than the June deficit of $53.5 billion. It was the largest monthly deficit since July 2008 during the 2007-2009 recession.

The July deficit increase was driven by a record 10.9% increase in imports which rose to $231.7 billion. Exports were also up but by a smaller 8.1% to $168.1 billion.

When Donald Trump campaigned for president in 2016 he pledged to sharply lower the country’s large trade deficits, especially with China, which for years has been the country with the largest trade surplus with the United States.

So, the trade deficit under Obama was lower for his entire eight year rule. That's gotta sting.
