if she were a guy, she'd be a putz.

Seems unlikely there is any proposition 38 states would agree on either way.

TBF, if all they do is state that abortion is not a fundamental right - say instead of deciding a more expansive question like that a fertilized egg has civil rights - that does not preclude the Federal government from legislating about it. In fact if the Federal gov were to come under more complete control by pro-choice forces I'm sure there would be as much pressure to pass nationwide legalization that would trump state law, as there is pressure on anti-abortion forces in the current Federal gov to pass nationwide anti-abortion laws. So you are left with potential ping-pong politics. That is one reason the court stepped in in the first place. It's bad for law to be so fundamentally at variance between the states, and it's also bad for such a big question to be re-litigated with every election. I tend to think John Roberts understands all these issues quite well, but probably can't do much about it right now.

That may be true, But that's why we establish law under cool headed distance and don't leave it to the vengeance of aggrieved parties. OTOH, I would challenge those on the Christian fundamentalist Bible infallibility side to read their Torah and see that even there, the penalty for causing a miscarriage was money damages.

but he's deeply rooted in history!

And it completely ignores that step by step roll-back is the publicly stated position of conservative jurisprudence. You really should listen to people when they are telling you exactly what they plan to do.

LOL - my wife took the scissors to the vows. She was pretty adamant she wasn't promising to obey a dumb git like me. It's been cool, we've been ignoring each other's stupid stuff for 45 yrs now.

The fertilized egg argument betrays a basic ignorance of biology. Nature throws away half of all fertilized eggs as they never implant. Sounds like the Creator was not sufficient devout. I guess they're going to need to find a way to put the big guy in sky in the pokey. ..Oh that's right, he's strictly male type. Nevermind.

I think Roe pretty much was the compromise. One side wants out of it.

Yesterday's rally was silly anyway - but let's see where this stops. 🤷‍♀️

RIght - I'll start thinking about supporting anti-abortion law the day they promise that no woman goes to jail for it unless the male that 'donated' the sperm to the transaction goes too.

Reasoning? There is no more "reasoning" here than the once serious arguments over Angels dancing on pin heads. There is no "reasoning" at all behind any of it, it's all a bunch of ancient superstition with an overlay of modern high tech demagoguery and basic misogyny. That is the reality when it come to anything resembling rational analysis here.

So are all these antediluvian white males so focused on female fertility because they want to keep their own wives barefoot and pregnant, or just because they don't have the confidence to compete with them in the workplace? It also ties in directly with suppression of minority voting access because their program will also help speed their transition to racial minority status, so you have to have voter suppression well established before that bigger generation of minority babies reaches voting age.

"IUD" covers a lot of devices that don't all necessarily have either the same or a single mechanism.

and Workman being a SS, you don't need all that much from the bat.

among position players at WM, 3 are younger, 7 are older, 4 - like Wenceel, were born in '99. He's not that old, he's just been around forever already. That said, the best prospects should be young for their league, esp non-college players.

just another pump handle. Another mismatch in the end. For years they've been doing this that and the other to keep mortgage rates down, but nobody's bothered to make sure anyone is building houses recently. So no stock available to put a mortgage on.

I think it's because when all the stars align for him, he does have a killer swing and miss FB. But it's like waiting to draw to an inside straight. Lose too many times waiting for it to hit.

I could be wrong but I thought the report in FLA was that his FB was at 95. He didn't hit that today.

I thought it was pretty comical that Jack was just talking about Joe "needing his changeup" when he can't even throw the FB for a strike.

I hope Jimenez is now officially the designated "only pitch in out of reach losses" pitcher.

well you knew this team couldn't go two whole games without reverting to form. Has Jimenez come into the game even once so far without walking the first batter he faced?

he wasn't the tying run probably. Schoop is so useless right now.

The pitch that Gamel hit might be considered a good pitch - right on the bottom line of the Kzone, but you see an awful lot of balls there clobbered even though they're are almost out of the zone. Have to stay out the middle better even at the bottom.

You live long enough to see enough countries collapse into chaos in your own lifetime and you begin to realize how true this is. Even if you are one that wants to tell yourself "well, *our* institutions are strong" I have a hard time understanding that when questions come up you are not on the side of making them even stronger. Can't hurt.
