Yep - very simple and the only thing that I remember is they said the anæsthesia would make it seem like I had eaten pepperoni pizza. It did, but I would've preferred sausage, so otherwise it was fine...
Not in Texas. After I had my son at 20, I asked to have my tubes tied. Nope, they stressed I was too young to make such an important decision. This led to an abortion later bc I didn't want kids. Then about 7 years ago I had a molar pregnancy and ended up having 2 D&Cs, which on the 2nd one I requested my uterus be taken out if my Dr thought I would develop cancer... she opted not too. I then had to fight Gestational Troblastic Disease (cancer) for a year.
I'm almost 40, have asked for various permanent birth control solutions and almost no Dr will pull the trigger.
The purpose of the article and the study, however, was not to provide a glimpse into a serious issue with adverse event reporting, but rather to cause confusion about whether or not the data is reliable, allowing people to claim the statistics showing medication abortion is safe are flawed and give them leverage and credibility to try to make telehealth abortions illegal again.That's being too specific. The real goal is to allow people to claim any data they don't like is flawed, to achieve any outcome they want. Such as overturning an election.
During a micro brewery tour, the brewmaster told us, " a lager takes 4 weeks in the tank, an IPA only 3. That's 13 batches vs. 17 batches per year." And that is why there are so many IPAs.

So they're using the ol' "We don't have all the data!" argument that tobacco companies used for cigarettes and cancer, and fossil fuel companies still use for climate change.
People (some people) have always been this stupid, selfish, vicious and immoral, but the politics that empowers them is more national now. As another old guy, I didn't see the backlash coming as being as nation-wide as it is. With a Senate and Electoral College system plus gerrymandering, all it takes is less than 50% certified assholes in the right places (low population states and the levers of power) to build the Racistfascist Party world of Trump's dreams.
I have no kids, and I have owned two Mopar minivans in my life. They are indeed fine vehicles because:
1) For such large-ish vehicles, they get very good gas mileage;2) they're front-wheel-drive, so they handle well in all but the deepest snow;3) they handle like cars, not like the more "classic" style vans;4) When you take the seats out, you can carry full 4x8 sheets of plywood, just like a truck;5) When the middle seats are in, you can carry three bandmates and their equipment*6) When all the seats are in, you can use it to take family to the airport, or up to six voters to a polling place...
Shall I go on?
*everyone except the drummer, because fuck that guy, let him carry his own shit to the gig!
Sorry.Basically that its hardly used for transactions that aren't illegal or tax-evading, that it doesn't fill a need that current payment systems whether cash or digital don't already efficiently manage, that it's value is due to it's role as an object for speculation, similarities to gold. That one or more might persist as gold value has, unless governments get serious about regulating it.Not mentioned but as important is the obscene amount of energy needed to create it these days.
As a lawyer, I try to game out how these arguments will go.
Remember how some states (Texas was one) used to prohibit out of state shipments of wine, but allowed for intrastate shipments? That was found to violate the commerce clause, so most states started allowing shipments of both. But, some states (I think Utah, for example) still prohibit all shipments/delivery of alcohol to residents in their state, and that was deemed to be ok.
I suspect that Texas will argue that since it prohibits ALL delivery of abortion medications - whether interstate or intrastate - then the law is fine. Of course, then you have the counter-argument that since Texas allows delivery of other prescription medications, it should allow all.
I think the latter is the better argument, but I don’t trust the 5th Circuit or SCOTUS to see it that way. And it may not matter anyway if SCOTUS formally overturns Roe and decides that states are free to restrict abortion however they see fit.

Try it using incognito mode - that sometimes works.
Oh, yucky pictiure alert!

Decaffeinated coffee is like non-alcoholic beer. Some people might drink it for the taste, but who listens to them?
I'm old enough to remember when IPAs tasted good!
