A Moment of Venn 0

Genevieve Grabman looks at the dismal state of health care for expectant mothers in the United States. It’s not a pretty picture. Here’s how she starts her article (emphasis added):

Despite its wealth, healthcare system, and global dominance, the United States can be a dangerous place for those, like me, with uteruses. Maternal mortality in the United States has increased steadily over the past thirty years, with 17.4 women dying for every 100,000 who had a live birth in 2018.

The irony is that, in our political landscape, the overlap between those who would force women to have unwanted babies deny women control of their own bodies and those who would deny them more, better, and less expensive healthcare is–er–substantial.

It contains no private information. It does not drop persistent cookies, does not collect data other than incoming ip addresses and page views (the internet is a public place), and certainly does not collect and sell your information to others.

Some sites that I link to may try to track you, but that's between you and them, not you and me.

I do collect statistics, but I use a simple stand-alone Wordpress plugin, not third-party services such as Google Analitics over which I have no control.

Finally, this is website is a hobby. It's a hobby in which I am deeply invested, about which I care deeply, and which has enabled me to learn a lot about computers and computing, but it is still ultimately an avocation, not a vocation; it is certainly not a money-making enterprise (unless you click the "Donate" button--go ahead, you can be the first!).

I appreciate your visiting this site, and I desire not to violate your trust.
