Same with period tracking apps. Big data has that. “So we notice you didn’t have your period for 3 months then went to this doctor that you never saw before… what’s up with that?”

but fits in logically with their position. ANY destruction of an embryo is wrong since it's a "person".

I can't wait to find out it was one of the R justices or people who did it then see all the inevitable back tracking from Cruz, Hume, Hannity, Huckabee, Graham, Mitch, etc. Perhaps it's strategic that such immense pressure will cause a justice to switch then the GOP can claim once again to be victims to a leak and they need your support now more than ever.

I think he's referring to the colored broad (since we're going back to the 50's) but he doesn't realize she's not yet part of the court in that regard.

to be fair, despite my hyperbole, most people who consider themselves Pro Life don't think about this like we do here. I understand that. But someone has to. Too many people are legislating to try to control what they think is immoral behavior. Its more than that.

exactly as the founders wanted it.

Frankly no. There's too many caveats and potential exceptions for there to be a a reasonable basis for a law to be written that's fair. Ultimately it should be left to the woman and her doctor. That's how I would prefer it. But if you wanted to have something I would listen to a ban in the third trimester with exceptions for rape, incest, and health of the woman. By health I mean complications. I wouldn't restrict it to "life in danger". The woman and the doctor can decide what that means. Not a legislator or judge with no medical training or background. I trust women that they would not want to go through that unless there was a good reason and same with the medical provider.

Is it not only appropriate but also a moral imperative to use lethal force to stop what you know would be the murder of a 10 year old? I think so.

Or to flip it around it's anti life to go on the ventilator because according to the religious nuts only god should decide when life begins and ends and by going on a vent in the first place you are going against god. See how complicated medicine can be when you invoke god? Go research how the Pill was developed and all the pushback against that at the time. Those people are alive and well today and will be in charge of female medicine thanks to these 5 justices. They think taking a pill to prevent pregnancy is a sin.

So if someone kills an abortion doctor is it justified because the abortion doctor committed murder? What is your difference between an abortion doctor (or abortionist as the 'pro lifers' like to say) and a nazi guard who sent people to the chamber? By not doing everything possible to prevent abortions aren't you appeasing murder? There is no difference between an abortion and killing a 10 year old?

Further.... they see it as themselves being persecuted and victimized like the apostles were for their faith. it gives them a kinship.

Do you think it would be moral and legal to shoot the nazi's that were killing the Jews? Like if you had a gun in your hand and could kill them would you? And would it be moral and legal to do that to prevent the murders of the Jews about to go into gas chambers? Put another way: Imagine there's a house on your street where you know people are taking 2 week old babies inside and murdering them. Are you legally and morally justified to use lethal force to stop that from happening?

I'm just going to share with all of you what tickets I have games for so that you will know to not bother caring about it that day because.... it's going to rain! Every.time.

abortion is a medical procedure and decisions about it should be left between a woman and her doctor. Not some old blue haired hag and her pervert pastor husband who thinks the Earth is 6000 years old. Those are the people that will be making these laws in ass backwards states like Mississippi. A teenager raped by her father will have less rights than the rapist. I call them crazies because their opposition and reasoning on abortion law is based on religious beliefs. The idea that "God will sort it all out, it's God's will, etc.". The concept of a God, god, Allah, Yahweh, etc. should never be factored into a law. We can't have 50 states with 50 abortion laws. There's already talk of some states making it a crime to go into another state to get an abortion where it's legal. Spend some time in a neo natal unit and among high risk pregnancy groups where families have to make very difficult and painful decision and then report back. Partial Birth abortion isn't about some woman deciding in month 8 that she doesn't want a kid anymore..... it's much more complicated than that. Nobody gets one that wants one. They want the baby. Nature decided against it and made it risky to have one and now you'll make criminals out of the doctor and mother. But hey.. tell me again you are pro life because I don't believe you.

because the death penalty was in the Old Testament. and it hurts blacks but we won't say that out loud.

They don't care about the "babies". To them women who get abortions are sluts who dare to have sex outside of marriage. Rape victims had it coming by wearing a skirt and black bra. Fuck the religious right. They are evil. All of them. They only care about "babies" as a tool to gain political power. I know this is just a game to you but real people are going to get hurt.

I frankly don't care about the sanctity of the court or the politics right now. I care about the women and their families that will be hurt by this. Young girls, victims of rape, and middle aged mothers with high school kids facing a health crisis with an unplanned and shocking pregnancy at age 45 will end up dying. All because of 5 justices who think our country should be a theocracy.

There was no real flu season from 2020-2021 because of quarantines, masking, and social distancing, so there was nothing to build off when coming up with the vaccine for 2021-2022. It's always a guess based on what we see evolve from the warmer climates as they transition to cooler climates and the flu makes its way north during the summer/fall but even more so this time. Also an increase in vax skepticism so many didn't get their shot for reasons.

Wife’s hospital has had more flu than COVID patients for a good while. Pediatrician friend says she’s seeing a lot of flu. Sons GF has it. Wife’s work partner’s two kids had it.

wow... forgot all about him. That seems small potatoes now though.

who was that? Sounds like a real life John Hoynes but he was a conservative democrat.

I saw a reference that Asa Hutchieson is considering a '24 run. If it's going to be a republican I think I'm ok with that. He's not crazy which is a low standard I know but these are the times.

How many maga drones will go into the ballot box and look for JD Mandel? Then claim fraud.

The tweet I saw in that regard said "When you attack your border things can go both ways"

There's a twitter account called Ghost of Ernie that shows old clips.... maybe they have a source
