Stateless at Birth — Birthright Citizenship and the Safeguarding of Immigrant Maternal and Child Health Rachel E. Fabi, PhD Patricia Mae G. Santos, MD, MS Benjamin D. Sommers, MD, PhD ABSTRACT This perspective discusses the public health implications of the recent executive order (EO), and subsequent court challenges, regarding the termination of birthright citizenship under the 14th Amendment to the US Constitution. The EO threatens to undermine the justification that undergirds many state and federal policies regarding access to maternal healthcare for immigrants: the expectation that babies born in the USA will become US citizens. In so doing, the EO creates conditions under which many children born in the USA may be rendered stateless and thus ineligible for public benefits.

The Milbank Quarterly Original Research State Public Coverage of Pregnant Undocumented Immigrants and Prenatal Insurance Uptake MEGHAN BELLEROSE, LINQING ZHENG, ARIELLE DESIR, RACHEL E. FABI, LAURA R. WHERRY, MARIA W. STEENLAND Policy Points - Twenty-four states and the District of Columbia offer public insurance to pregnant undocumented immigrants who are income eligible for Medicaid. - We found that residing in a state with public coverage of pregnant undocumented immigrants was associated with increased prenatal Medicaid coverage among immigrants and was not associated with corresponding reductions in private or other insurance coverage. - Offering state public insurance to pregnant undocumented immigrants could increase immigrants’ access to insurance coverage and recommended care during pregnancy.

screenshot from the text of "The Pickwick Papers" by Charles Dickens: 'Well, Sam,' said Mr. Pickwick, 'I suppose they are getting the HABEAS-CORPUS ready?' 'Yes,' said Sam, 'and I vish they'd bring out the have-his- carcase. It's wery unpleasant keepin' us vaitin' here. I'd ha' got half a dozen have-his-carcases ready, pack'd up and all, by this time.' What sort of cumbrous and unmanageable machine, Sam Weller imagined a habeas-corpus to be, does not appear; for Perker, at that moment, walked up and took Mr. Pickwick away.

We hope you're enjoying yourself and finding peace in this awful, awful time in the history of humanity and its habitable existence on planet Earth. Human beings are adaptable and it's OK to hug and laugh with your friends, your family, your loved ones, and to do so without a shred of regret. Absolutely nothing wrong or diverting about any of that. We can and must stay well, both because we -- who bear burdens -- deserve it, and because it steels us for the fights that decent people sometimes have to join.

TPFA FAQs: Q: why can’t you just be “puzzles for choice”? A: we’ve been asked many times why we didn’t change the name of our puzzle pack to something more neutral, something less “in your face,” something more palatable to people who want to support “women’s health” or “the right to choose” but who might be uncomfortable with the language of funding abortion. We have stood by our decision to be explicit about the purpose of this project right in the name — These Puzzles Fund Abortion — because we believe that abortion should not be stigmatized or sanitized with language that obscures. Abortion is healthcare, and your donation will help provide access to that healthcare.”

Session 41: D.O.G. Is Not That Kind of Drake Date: May 8, 2024 In a flashback at the beginning of the episode, Rigel regales the party with the deep lore of the Kendrick/Drake Beef. Ages ago, two bards (Drake and Kendrick) apparently waged war over ... unclear reasons, and through the exchange of barbed words and vicious mockery, the two battled in a very public way. Rigel recounted the entire saga, and suggested that Kendrick had ultimately slain Drake, possibly for good, by invoking the shame of his family and the betrayal of his adventuring party.
