Thirty years ago, cardiovascular diseases accounted for less than 10 percent of all pregnancy-related deaths, but as of 1998 to 2005, CDC researchers noted their increased prevalence as a leading cause of death.
Hmm...I wonder if the diet drug, Fen-phen has anything to do with it.
More and more American women are fat, unhealthy, and undergoing unnecessary major procedures like C-sections which are inherently more risky than vaginal delivery. They're also waiting until later in life (their thirties and forties, rather than their twenties) to have children, which increases the risk of complications.
The calculus involved here really isn't hard to figure out.
Godammit guys. Stop ****ing fatties!
I've been following Vox for awhile, and I don't find their headlines to match heir articles. If anything they are relabeled reprints. IOW, the wrong conclusions are just thrown out there in the title to get traffic.

Reading the headline leads one direction, reading the article leads you in another - looking at the cause of mortality shows death during childbirth to be incidentally caused by other risk factors. Nothing new here: high risk mothers have a high risk of dying in childbirth.
Ain't Spiker said:How is the title misleading?
Like click bait, it's technically accurate. So you go there thinking there is something new, and it's the same old story - unhealthy people die in childbirth.
Actually, they don't usually due in childbirth but hours or a few days after. So neener, neener!
So what are you going to do? Set a health threshold for pregnancy? People are free to poison themselves and get pregnant.
The point of the thread is obviously to point out how horrible our capitalist peeg medical system is. And how desperately we need single payer.
Single payer might help a little in terms of better access. But it won't help at all unless there is a willingness on the part of people to go in and get care and change their lifestyles. That won't come easy.
Single payer might provide better access, but it certainly won't improve the quality of healthcare. In fact, it will diminish it.
Give the devil its due. Single payer is good for treatment of chronic diseases like hypertension, diabetes, heart disease, etc. As long as people are willing to sit in waiting rooms for hours, that is.
Not only that but if you get tired of her fat ass, knock her up and you got a shot of getting rid of her without losing your shjrt and maybe collecting a little loot from her life insurance policy. This study is good news for the mens movement.We seem to be at a point during which men who were once unwanted due to being overweight or obese are finding more available partners in life that want to settle down, marry, and have a family.
Fat guys should stop ****ing?
Guys should stop ****ing?
You can keep repeating it - but no man is going to turn down some ***** out of the potential non-existent concern that she'll end up pregnant. LOL
Im actually battling the weight that comes with age. Excercise really is not the answer. It treats the sympton not the cause. The answer is in your diet, bot quanity and quality.Seriously, though - I think one thing that's seriously lacking is real science and facts on weight control / loss - means and methods that work. Just a few decades ago women went to a gym to be jiggled to death because women who perspired were unladylike. And these days? The science that's out there about how to lose weight, especially when you start aging, is piss poor. Tests and studies are run by industries selling drugs more than hardcore science with serious facts.
Especially for women who are short, like me - real science for women who are petite doesn't really exist. What is your metabolic rate when you're the height of a child? LOL - Might as well stay home from the gym for all the good it'll do ya.
Aside that - a lot of guys don't like fit women. We're insulted and snarled at . . . so why bother? If you're fat you're fat.
