I very much suspect that would depend on the ethnicity of the perpetrator.

How many flags, t-shirts, or patches on clothing had rebel flags on them among people in the violent mob that invaded the Capitol on 1/6/2021?

I also remember my period being oh so regular when I was 12.

They forgot mentioning being pro-Kaiser in WW1 and pro-Hitler/pro-Japan until 1941. And pro-Apartheid. Own up to the whole thing if you're going to ride the coattails of what people who have left the GOP stood for.

Men are responsible for their own behavior.

Women are not responsible for the behavior of men. Stop demanding we do the work to solve your problems.

This bullshit takes me from 0-70 in about 2 seconds, and I'm a 68 yr. old man. How about the National Mind Your Own Business Act?? It's past time. FFS.

All of my great-grandfathers fought in the Union army. That was definitely none of my doing, but-- they won!!

"These AGs can make all the claims they want, but they basically cannot outlaw people sending abortion pills in the mail for the specific reason the FDA made clear in the new rule: They cannot determine intent. They cannot determine that the misoprostol people are taking is not being used to treat stomach ulcers or that the mifepristone they are taking is not being used to treat Cushing's syndrome. So there."

The intent issue protects the sender, who cannot know the ultimate use.

It does not protect the receiver/user, against whom intent is easy to prove.

Currently, forced birth states tend to stay shy of prosecuting those who get abortions because that is a legacy of when they had not yet won and were still doing all the crocodile tears about how Big Abortion was conning women and girls for profit. They will now simply criminalize the receipt and use of the medications within the state for the purpose of abortion.

This will be the same logic as will be applied to leaving the state for an abortion. You can't bar interstate travel but you can bar - by state law - traveling within the state to get to the border with intent to cross to get an abortion.

These people are malicious but they are not stupid. They will close the loopholes they left open or that other laws create.

When the announcer intones that little intro thing, after he says "especially heinous," I always intone (right back at him) "yer anus." I'm not proud of this, it's more of a confession.

How do they intend to police the mail thing? They can't stop mail trucks at the state line to search for abortion drugs, or intercept packages at the recipient's door, as that violates Federal law regarding interfering with the US Mail.

Are they going to subpoena records from out of state from the companies that ship? How will they even know anyone received these drugs, regardless of how they plan to use them?

states have the right to bar all medication from being mailed, period.Great, then do that. I dare you.
