Summary

Republican-led states with near-total abortion bans are delaying or halting maternal mortality reviews, raising concerns about efforts to conceal rising deaths.

Texas, where maternal deaths rose 56% from 2019 to 2022, refused to review 2022-2023 cases, citing a backlog.

Investigations found multiple preventable deaths tied to abortion bans, such as Porsha Ngumenzi, who died after being denied miscarriage care.

Georgia fired its entire Maternal Mortality Review Committee after leaks about preventable deaths.

Critics argue these actions aim to suppress evidence linking abortion bans to maternal fatalities, delaying accountability for years.

        Is the updated version worth it? I loved that game as a kid, but can’t find it in me to fork over $60 just to play with better graphics.

          I had fun with it. I haven’t finished all the bonus bosses after beating the game. The graphics were well done and the game play was as enjoyable as ever. They added some new super moves which was cool.

          This was one of my first games as a kid and was a defining experience for my childhood. I’ve replayed the original a lot over the years.

          The remake did not disappoint. Highly recommend. =D

          Also the Super Mario Guy RPG series. From what I recall they didn’t finish. But, what they did finish was really well done. The Family Guy voices are spot on. And it’s really funny.

          Oh and the puzzles in Bowser’s Castle are now playable. Like, the ball clearing puzzle is actually a lot of fun when the inputs work.

          As a big fan of the original, I loved it. It’s pretty much a perfect remake. It does have new post-game content, but $60 is still pretty steep if you’ve played the original. I’d wait for a sale or get it used.
