In other news, pregnant women in Venezuela are so desperate that they’re WALKING across Colombia to get to Ecuador, where they get can medical treatment and safely deliver their babies.

In 2016, the last year there were any reliable stats, about 756 women died in childbirth. That number has grown by at least 65%, and infant mortality is through the roof.

Don’t hear many of the right-wingers who yammer on about Sacred Fetuses talking about this, though. Wonder why?

En 2016 murieron en Venezuela 756 madres por complicaciones en el embarazo y el parto. Es la última cifra oficial que se conoce, pero había crecido en 65% comparada con la de 2015.
