A graphic with a brown background. A framed photograph of a mother and child is shown in the center, with the words "Mommy & me" carved into the frame. White text above the photo is a quote: "“Nothing was wrong with her pregnancy, only her health.”" White text below the photo attributes the quote: "is what Texas doctors told Tierra Walker, 37-year-old mother, before she died." The source is cited at the bottom. A graphic with a textured, light brown background detailing the death of a Texas woman due to lack of medical care. The white text tells the story of Tierra Walker, who was denied an abortion despite life-threatening medical conditions due to Texas's strict laws.

Red text at the bottom concludes: "Tierra’s death was entirely preventable. Republican abortion bans kill." The source is cited at the very bottom.

But when people are living good lives, and many of them for 10, 15, 20 years, to treat them in a way that is extremely disrespectful, to say the least." The quote is attributed to "Pope Leo XIV on the Trump administration's treatment of immigrants." The source is cited at the bottom.
