The pilot would just turn around and tell Trump he’s having to detour around bad weather.

Earl went off the reservation; Eisenhower had expected him to be a conservate jsutice, of course.

I wish to live in the land of mail order mushrooms.

That is a rather large hint.

On the other hand, I think we should push back a little. What if the baby looks like Ben Shapiro?

I am pro life. Mentioned that before. This means of course that I did not have an abortion. I am also anti war, anti death penalty and I think we should house/feed/clothe poor people.I am also pro-choice because, and get this, /government should not be policing bodies or morals. That way Salem witch trials lay. There's other reasons, but let us go with that one for the time being.My mother, who had many kids also had many MOAR pregnancies. Most of the missing ones were miscarriages, early early on. One early one was a fetus that died around the 5th month, and she was told she had to carry the dead baby in her body until she miscarried or went into some sort of shock enabling them to take it out, because /not legal. She carried it about a week. Can you fucking imagine that? Living with that shit? She wasn't all that mentally stable to begin with, but she pushed through it because she had to. Because it was fucking 1972.Fuck these people. Fuck them rotten.

I grew up in Oregon in the 50s and early 60s. I still remember the Impeach Warren signs nailed to fence posts on rural byways.

The bible proscribes abortion if a husband is suspicious of his wife having been unfaithful. he is then to take her and an offering to the priest, who will make a potion with a curse that will cause the woman to abort if she is pregnant, never to conceive again.14 And the spirit of jealousy come upon him, and he be jealous of his wife, and she be defiled: or if the spirit of jealousy come upon him, and he be jealous of his wife, and she be not defiled:

15 Then shall the man bring his wife unto the priest, and he shall bring her offering for her, the tenth part of an ephah of barley meal; he shall pour no oil upon it, nor put frankincense thereon; for it is an offering of jealousy, an offering of memorial, bringing iniquity to remembrance.

16 And the priest shall bring her near, and set her before the Lord:

17 And the priest shall take holy water in an earthen vessel; and of the dust that is in the floor of the tabernacle the priest shall take, and put it into the water:

18 And the priest shall set the woman before the Lord, and uncover the woman's head, and put the offering of memorial in her hands, which is the jealousy offering: and the priest shall have in his hand the bitter water that causeth the curse:

19 And the priest shall charge her by an oath, and say unto the woman, If no man have lain with thee, and if thou hast not gone aside to uncleanness with another instead of thy husband, be thou free from this bitter water that causeth the curse:

20 But if thou hast gone aside to another instead of thy husband, and if thou be defiled, and some man have lain with thee beside thine husband:

21 Then the priest shall charge the woman with an oath of cursing, and the priest shall say unto the woman, The Lord make thee a curse and an oath among thy people, when the Lord doth make thy thigh to rot, and thy belly to swell;

22 And this water that causeth the curse shall go into thy bowels, to make thy belly to swell, and thy thigh to rot: And the woman shall say, Amen, amen.

23 And the priest shall write these curses in a book, and he shall blot them out with the bitter water:

24 And he shall cause the woman to drink the bitter water that causeth the curse: and the water that causeth the curse shall enter into her, and become bitter.

25 Then the priest shall take the jealousy offering out of the woman's hand, and shall wave the offering before the Lord, and offer it upon the altar:

26 And the priest shall take an handful of the offering, even the memorial thereof, and burn it upon the altar, and afterward shall cause the woman to drink the water.

27 And when he hath made her to drink the water, then it shall come to pass, that, if she be defiled, and have done trespass against her husband, that the water that causeth the curse shall enter into her, and become bitter, and her belly shall swell, and her thigh shall rot: and the woman shall be a curse among her people.

28 And if the woman be not defiled, but be clean; then she shall be free, and shall conceive seed.

29 This is the law of jealousies, when a wife goeth aside to another instead of her husband, and is defiled;

30 Or when the spirit of jealousy cometh upon him, and he be jealous over his wife, and shall set the woman before the Lord, and the priest shall execute upon her all this law.

31 Then shall the man be guiltless from iniquity, and this woman shall bear her iniquity.

I've had this same conversation with my brother. We were both raised in the conservative, super-evangelical bubble, and I was literally in my 40s before I'd ever heard that late-term abortions were for medical (non-viable, etc) reasons.

So I explained to my brother what I learned but he wouldn't accept that abortion of viable fetuses or infanticide was illegal. After I thought I'd convinced him it was, he still insisted that it still happened anyway whether it was illegal or not.
