- US family planning aid drops under Republican Presidents when the Global Gag Rule (GGR) is in force. Once Democratic Presidents are elected, it increases by 48%.
- Countries heavily reliant on US aid see a 10.5% increase in maternal mortality following a switch from a Democratic to a Republican administration—about 44.7 additional deaths per 100 000 live births. This mortality increase erodes one-fifth of the decline in global maternal mortality decline achieved since 1985.
- A US$1 per capita higher reliance on US Overseas Development Assistance for reproductive and maternal health relative to a mean level of US$0.872 per capita is associated with 25 additional maternal deaths per 100 000 live births under the GGR.
- An increase in the maternal mortality ratio is seen in each of the country regions. Although Africa experiences the largest impact in absolute terms, the percentage impact is greatest in Latin America (16%), followed by Asia (15%) and Africa (7%).

I want more hard statistics like this!
I bet that there’s all sorts of fun facts about the differences between Republicans and Democrats. Just some guesses:
- US suckage increases dramatically under Republicans.
- Nearly all promising long-term projects that get started under Democrats suddenly ended without logic or reason by Republicans. Even if they started out with bipartisan support.
We can add them to the well-know stats like the debt increasing under Republicans (also known as fiscal irresponsibility).
