Name stolen, don't at me.

Welp, there is the test case for overturning Roe v. Wade. Wonder whether the SC will take it or not.

No exceptions for rape or incest.

Bolton really wants a war doesn’t he

it's the most surefire way for an incumbent to get re-elected.

Not sure if that will be the case this time around. Most Americans, including some Trumpies, have tired of our misadventures in the Middle East.

Hey, the Georgia "heat beat" law provides a tax break as soon as pregnancy is detected. Child support, and a host of other legal rights. Also Its all about the person.

Regarding 'Bama, it also sounded like some forms of birth control would be deemed illegal. That is arm chair lawyering based of my interpretation of what was said on a national news broadcast (not from commentary, just ingesting the reporting). I'd wondered, aside from putting women's health at risk, if it will further crater all Alabamians medical care over concerns of doctors accidently violating the law and facing prison time. Simple math there: Go to Alabama and put yourself at risk for not a lot of scratch, or go to Rhode Island and pay off those loans without a lot of worry about going to the big house over a mishap.

There is also the small matter that both laws are unconstitutional.

Our allies don’t have intel suggesting increased Iranian risk. Well, I’m sure the Saudis magically do.

Indeed but it does allow these exceptions:

1. "To avoid a serious health risk to the unborn child's mother"
2. For ectopic pregnancy
3. If the "unborn child has a lethal anomaly"

1. So the "all life is sacred" argument that pro-lifers like to peddle isn't, apparently, 100% true. There is a hierarchy after all.
2. Pregnancy HAS to be terminated in this case so...
3. Doesn't this child have a right to life also?

everything seems to be getting extra bad all at once huh

I read somewhere that in no state is an abortion ban supported than more than 25% of the population so I am glad that we are all being represented.

This is how minority rule works. Gerrymander (though I know you don't have to in Alabama), cater to special interests, pack the judiciary. Nothing you can do.

Also, excess embryos not implanted as part of an in vitro procedure aren't covered. Because it has nothing to do with babies or even fetuses, but about punishing women. That's why there's no rape or incest exception: The fundagelicals who run the Republican party believe that rape and incest are the woman's fault.

Peace officers'' memorial speech coke full of vignettes about showing people around the WH, taking pictures, and wall references. AKA, just another day.

Alabama state Sen. Clyde Chambliss:

"Even if its origins are in very difficult situations, that life is still precious," the Republican said in explaining his support for the bill.

Spoken like a man and, of course, contradicts points #1 and #3 from my post above.

If they don't they have to issue an injunction don't they?
