1 in 4,600 odds don’t seem so good when you’re thinking about a country the size of the US. An awful lot of women are going to have difficulty accessing badly needed healthcare.

The governor, prior to the bus’ Friday arrival in Manhattan, had already sent thousands of migrants to Washington, D.C., in the escalating political battle where Mayor Adams quickly denounced Abbott for grandstanding on the backs of the new arrivals.

“This is despicable what we’re witnessing in Texas,” Adams said later at Gracie Mansion. “The Texas governor — using human beings as a political play — he finally admitted what we were saying. We’re going to continue to be open arms. This is who we are as a city.”

Adams planned to speak later Friday with federal officials about additional funding to offer support to the new arrivals. A mayoral spokesman had earlier denounced Abbott’s bus stunt as “an embarrassing stain on the state of Texas” while dismissing the governor as an “inept politician.”

The state is funding them, but I don’t know from where exactly. Knowing Abbott, it’s probably from funds meant for schools or something equally odious.
