For what it's worth, this particular case happened 2 years ago, in Missouri:
https://www.usatoday.com/story/news/nation/2022/10/15/missouri-abortion-ban-pregnancy-complications/10496559002/
From the article:
Why do I picture this lady as an anti-vaxxer & anti-masker?
80% white. 40% with a high school education or less.
In 2022, over 100 anti-vaccination protesters rallied at the state Capitol against health director Donald Kauerauf's confirmation, despite his opposition to mask and vaccine mandates. Protesters displayed signs reading "God-given natural immunity" and "We're not guinea pigs."
In 2024, House Bill 1424 was introduced to prohibit COVID-19 vaccination requirements for transportation access. Missouri Senators Josh Hawley and Eric Schmitt co-sponsored federal legislation to ban mask mandates through 2024.
The state as a whole gives a certain vibe..
Good lemming. Keep doing good things.
Nutpicking. For every "Haha! Instant Karma! Suck it, idiots!" front page circle jerk, a thousand conservatives will get abortions under the table without a problem.
You've got to go two years back on this shit because its ultimately the exception, not the rule.
I think that's what makes it notable enough to be reported on?
