If almost 50% of the voting population is pro pedo... it's not a 1st world country. More in common with tribal controlled areas of Afghanistan than with a 1st world country.

Bama is not alone...many states face similar circumstances. It's hard to stomach in the greatest nation the world has ever seen...

Alabama has a 15% illiteracy rate. 15% of the population is functionally illiterate.... not just has poor grammar or vocabulary.

consider that for a moment.

Think of the most inbred, backwards minded, trump supporting cbid poster you can.... (I know you have a few in mind)... 15% of Alabamans cannot even construct the written arguments that person can. That blows my mind.

Infant mortality in 1st world countries seems to range from 2.1 (Japan/finland) in successful countries... to 6.1 in the US (ranked 26th).... per 1000 births

The infant mortality for Alabama is 9.1.... ranking worse than Botswana, Bulgaria, essentially equal to Thailand....

Worse than Alabama's actually.
23%...

But to be fair they probably can read/write in Spanish or Chinese.... the numbers include people who could not be tested due to language barriers (per the note). Alabama isn't exactly a state people immigrate to
