Brittani Silva shouldn’t blow her brains out; she should blow his brains out. That’s one way to get this torture of her to stop. He’s literally forcing her to be his sex slave, with housekeeping thrown in.
I never wanted children, and successfully used contraception so I've never had a pregnancy and therefore never had an abortion. However, had I needed one, I could get it. I want all people who can become pregnant to have that choice.
On climate change, rethugs have shown a willingness to trade the future for power. In this Ohio vote, gerrymandering cases, and voting rights cases , they have shown a willingness to trade the present for power. In cases such as how Florida and other states are treating the history of racism in America they are even willing to trade the past for power. They have only the one goal: The power to tell everyone how to live. It is a short step from there to telling people *IF* they can live, or not.
Silva reminds me of Jean-Guy Tremblay. He was at the centre of what became Tremblay v. Daigle. He and Chantal Daigle were dating in 1989 when Daigle became pregnant. This did nothing to prevent Tremblay from being abusive, and after leaving him Daigle decided to have an abortion. He tried to get a court injunction to stop her, claiming both that the fetus had a right to life under the Canadian Constitution, and he also had a right to protect his "potential progeny."
The case ended up before the Supreme Court, which ruled that the fetus was not considered a person under Quebec and Canadian law, and there was no precedent for his progeny claim. Although Daigle had already had an abortion in the US before the case reached the Supreme Court they found the questions sufficiently important to rule on the issue. This is generally considered one of the main cases determining fetal rights have no place in determining Canadian abortion law, and that men who have caused pregnancies have no say in whether a woman can abort the pregnancy they caused.
Tremblay would attempt an appeal to the Supreme Court again, this time for a 2000 sentence for a violent assault against another girlfriend and her friend. The sentence included a 10 year supervision order on top of 5 years in prison. The Supreme Court declined to hear his 2005 appeal to have the supervision overturned. At the time it came out he'd been convicted of 14 counts of assault, most of them for crimes against former girlfriends.
You don't actually have to live in the same county. There are options. And there's at least one option that involves you not moving and solving a serious social problem with the last name Silva
It’s his duty not to be a prick, which he is failing, spectacularly, but it is the government’s duty not to give this prick a legal weapon to beat his abused wife with.
My physician father was a stickler for precise language. He would argue that a prick is a useful bit of anatomy, and clearly this fellow is useless. The correct term is "chancre" which is a genital lesion that is a hallmark of syphilis.
I googled him, and there's some evidence he knew the abortion was planned, and since he did not stop that, he has no standing now. That's how I understand it, anyway. Really, his ex-wife should color her hair and move to Alaska - lots of flights to Hawaii from there.
Ohio resident here, the anti-choice movement is framing Issue 1, the abortion amendment, as a parental rights bill. All the signs you see for "Vote No on 1" say "protect parents' rights," and if you didn't know what it was about you'd think it was a different issue. It feels like they're trying to confuse it with all the other "parental issues" in the news, like trans-kids being spooky and books being evil.
I hope the pro-choice crowd swings back hard on that misleading crap over these next few weeks. Really hoping to see Ohio voters come out in full force to shoot this down.
They've been running a lot of good ads, mainly focusing on how this protects women from prosecution for miscarriages and spreading fear (appropriately in this case) of big government.
Mine, too - what with it being my actual name and all.
I've spoken to the Fellowship Of Jonathans, and we've voted overwhelmingly to disavow this motherfucker. That Turley prick is also excommunicated, too, for what it's worth.
What a coincidence! That's also a major reason for it being one of my favorite names. I wasn't sure if sharing names is a "thing" on this site, hence my coyness.
Also, there's a Fellowship? Is it invitation only, like the Masons, or is there an application process? Is one of the rituals flipping out when people add extra Hs to your name?
Along with losing our shit when people spell it JonathON - we're not a fucking Olympic event, assholes! - yes, The Purging Of The Extraneous H is one of our most sacred rites.
Reach out to your local chapter if you'd like to learn more.
LOL at "Olympic event." As in, she won silver in the 500m Jonathon. Is there a rite of "I will accept 'Jon' as a nickname but will end you if you spell it 'John' because that's a completely different name?"
Dashed off an email to my rep, along with certification of no pretentious misspellings. See you at the next general meeting!
David Brooks went full David Brooks this morning. TL:DR but I skimmed it for the bullshit floating to the top. He was making the case about why Biden was better than dump, so not hard. But he managed to do it while mentioning every single fault or mistake associated with Joe Biden, except for Hunter. But despite the length and detail about Joe and the polls which are totally against him, David never mentioned abortion. I don't think some men get it at all.
David Brooks is a waste of skin. He is *one* of the reasons that, after reading it for 55 years, I abandoned the NYTimes for Wonkette. And there is a whole herd of others that are just as bad or nearly as bad. But the real kicker was their decision to provide a platform (repeatedly) to this clown: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Christopher_Caldwell_(journalist)
Yes, Chris Caldwell, Senile Felon at the Claremont Institute, home of such nut cases as John Eastman and Michael Anton.
My MIL won't give up her "home town paper." So, while I understand why people continue to read the NYT and the WaPo, among other MSM rags, I did cancel my subscriptions to them, because they are definitely not fair, balanced, factual, or even liberal. They are the mouthpieces of a class of people, in a country where there aren't supposed to be such, who don't want equal rights for anyone but themselves, and certainly don't want government for anyone but themselves, but do want taxes for everyone but themselves.
I'm usually pretty tolerant of simple typos, but this one has me baffled: What on earth is a "woo practitioner?"
Brittani Silva shouldn’t blow her brains out; she should blow his brains out. That’s one way to get this torture of her to stop. He’s literally forcing her to be his sex slave, with housekeeping thrown in.
Even in Texas, there’s no way that can be legal.
I've seen two types of Vote No on Issue 1 yard signs in Ohio.
"Vote No on Issue 1 For Parents"
"Vote No on Issue 1 For Children"
Texas is the seat of Hell
I never wanted children, and successfully used contraception so I've never had a pregnancy and therefore never had an abortion. However, had I needed one, I could get it. I want all people who can become pregnant to have that choice.
Didn't Pornhub start banning revenge porn?

I have to live in the same county as this prick...Gob! I hate Texas sometimes...Recently most of the time.

I really, really, really do HATE MOTHERFUCKING Rs.
Hell I even hate the father fucking ones
OMG people, Marcus Silva can use his property any way he chooses! (according to Texas law...)
I googled him, and there's some evidence he knew the abortion was planned, and since he did not stop that, he has no standing now. That's how I understand it, anyway. Really, his ex-wife should color her hair and move to Alaska - lots of flights to Hawaii from there.
I dunno. Why don't we make HIM color his hair and move to Alaska? Seems more fair.
You're right, but I can only think of him in regards to A Big Dirt Nap so I thought I shouldn't mention that.
Fair enough!

The guy behind the bill is named Jonathan? Ugh . . . it's one of my favorite names.

The guy wrote a book The Road to Character while fucking his RA, and then divorced his wife of almost 30 years to marry the RA.
He is proof of irony while being proofed against it.
What does he get? Anything?
He was on the NYT bestseller list for a while, iirc.
Brooks sure AF doesn't get it. Never did, really.
A victory for abortion rights in Ohio is my prediction. The attempted ratfucking by the GOP is probably increasing voter support.
Shure hope so.
Don't know about you, but I'm investing in Rep. Marcus Silva (R-TX) futures.
