    For some clarity, LA in this case is the city (Los Angeles) not the state (Louisiana).

        The joys of acronyms. You may think LMAO means Laughing My Ass Off but really it means Licking Many Asses Often.

        Don’t forget the push to have more babies at the same time. There is an active push for higher infant mortality.

          Well you see some short term pain is worth it for the long term gain, only the strongest babies will survive. /s

        Maternal mortality was already crazy high. This will also increase infant mortality.
