Man, voting and elections matter. Hobbs barely beat that lunatic in 22, and this surely was impossible otherwise. AZ even indicted the giggle-gang of fake electors in the same state that spent like $6 million to the Cyber Ninjas to use black lights on ballots hunting for traces of Chinese bamboo in the Great Fraudit. The result? Biden was shorted a few votes. AZ is in danger of falling way behind Texas, SD and Florida for wackiest wingnutty states. (Alabama, Arkansas, Mississippi and a few others are hopeless thus left off the list).
Ta, Robyn. Somewhere between 37% and 50% of all first trimester pregnancies end in spontaneous abortion, better known as miscarriage. If these assholes want to bring their god into the conversation, they should take that up with Him. He's the Abortionist in Chief.
Arizona leg needs a special committee to examine all the laws dictated by that judge while AR was still a territory. All the states need to review their territorial founded laws.
That's a start. Add universal healthcare to include addiction rehabilitation, vigorous enforcement of the anti-monopoly statutes and serious police reforms. Then you'll have a party!
And food trucks that drive through the neighborhood like ice cream trucks around dinner time so on days when I don’t feel like cooking there’s the gyro or Indian food truck I know what’s going to be on the table for dinner.
Speaking of Ceaușescu again, some people may not remember that one of the outcomes of his "no abortion, no birth control" policies was the Romanian state orphanage system- bleak, overcrowded, and with rampant abuse of children.
I knew someone who'd actually grown up in a Romanian orphanage before being adopted by a Canadian family after 1989. She was a surprisingly small person, in part because she had been malnourished in childhood. She also used to say that girls in the orphanages were trained to either be gymnasts or sex workers.
Romania's history is a long, sad story of it getting fucked over by outsiders, and in the interim periods fucking itself over. I visited as a boy in the late 90's, the poverty and desolation from Soviet rule (even in Bucharest) was pretty shocking.
This is a sort-of Nice Times, but I definitely hope it brings out the voters to overturn the 15-week ban and elect Ruben Gallego (and Biden/Harris) in November.
I don’t understand why the GQP thinks 15 weeks is a reasonable compromise. The vast majority of abortions occurring after that point - but pre-viability - are because of maternal health issues and/or fatal fetal abnormalities. It’s not like women decide to carry a fetus for 22 weeks and then say, “nah.”
The Republican idea of a woman seeking a later abortion seems to be a person who carries a pregnancy nearly to term, enduring all the incredibly not-fun bits of bearing a child (often alone), and then on a malicious whim decides to abort the child anyway, possibly while laughing maniacally.
In other words, their conception of morality isn't that much more advanced or nuanced than that of a Disney movie. An *early* Disney movie.
It used to be a bit of mildly sarcastic hyperbole when we’d say such and such a measure had dragged the opposition kicking and screaming forward into the 16th century…
… and now and then stuff like this comes up, and, you know, close enough I guess.
The company is worthless. He’s literally the only beneficiary. ON PAPER. So is this just one big money funneling enterprise? I feel like someone should be investigating who is buying this stock.
NONE of these so-called "compromises" are remotely rational or acceptable, but it's not as if that matters to those imposing these restrictions. This is not now and never has been all about protecting life.
This is ALL about subjugation of more than half this nation's registered voters; THAT'S what it is.

Fuck yes, that's my gov!
Dobbs is about to turn America a bright shining blue.
Oh, please, oh, please, please be right.
Yet again it matters when you have Democratic administrations. Keep it up, and fight the good fight Governor Hobbs.

Abortion on demand. Pot on demand. That’s the America the Left wants for us.
That's a start. Add universal healthcare to include addiction rehabilitation, vigorous enforcement of the anti-monopoly statutes and serious police reforms. Then you'll have a party!
Do you promise?
I don’t see the problem. Tho I can’t have an abortion and I don’t partake.
Taco trucks on every corner!
And food trucks that drive through the neighborhood like ice cream trucks around dinner time so on days when I don’t feel like cooking there’s the gyro or Indian food truck I know what’s going to be on the table for dinner.
Shawnna Bolick, the wife of AZ Supreme Court Justice Clint Bolick who got this ball rolling in the first place.
Clint Bolick and Katheryn H King are up for re election in Nov.
Think we are going to replace them peeps are kinda honked off.
Yep.
Still not gonna save Hubby's job.
Daughter on the Man or Bear question:
“If I get attacked by a bear I wouldn’t be legally required to carry the fetus to term in 24 states.”
Ouch.

JFK that's horrible.
Yeah, never watch documentary footage of Romanian orphanages from the '80s.

Frank Luntz probably got the 15 week line from his focus group testing.

So, a troll trying to stir shit yesterday just replied to me, nearly a day later, with a 'thanks for clarifying'. That was odd

(… shooting for the late ice age now.)
Time to stop the cultural war of the coastal elitists and fight their snooty upright walking.
“If’n we was meant to walk upright the Good Lawd would’ve given us spines!”
Brachiating was good enough fer muh daddy, dagnabbit.
The Cult Of The Fetus will endlessly whine about Freddy and Frances Fetus but once the baby is born they don't give a rat's ass what happens to it.
I really dislike doing an OT under a reproductive rights story, but for the love of dog, how is this happening?

The SEC is in the tank for it.

Never forget that the stock market is just a more respectable casino.
So you're saying that PAB will bankrupt the stock market too? /s
There’s a reason NYSE wants nothing to do with him. Once bitten, twice shy.
a casino but with more coke and flop sweat
Well…
and with more clocks. XD
Since women usually if their baby has major abnormalities at 20 weeks, a 15 week abortion ban is pretty horrific.

There would be no horrific except for the horrific idiots who glorify death and suffering. All in the name of their POS "god."
After reading the holey babble (both times) I concluded that the god described therein was an evil motherfucker.
