CNN segment again. 9 of 10 abortions are within the first trimesters. So stupid the continuing reduction of weeks in these bills. And the lame excuse prolife saying so many murdering babies just before giving birth.

Makes sense. Viability lines up with late/end of 2nd. I can see random 3rds from late found "issues" or mother's health.

All this talk really makes me in favor of legalizing abortions up to like the 320th trimester for some though ...
 
Think it may be time to just suck it up and move back to CA and deal with the cost.

Trade some economic freedom for more personal freedom.

Sure, whatever you say.

The Right’s Bad-Faith Pearl-Clutching Over the Supreme Court Leak – Mother Jones

It’s useful to remember that the right is currently staging a pearl-clutching meltdown over something just about everyone across the political spectrum knew was all but certain to happen. (Just look at the pages of Mother Jones from the past few years.) Could all these people, who likely share the same unflinching disregard for a right to an abortion as Alito expressed in his draft opinion, really be so incensed over a precious process?

Judging by some of the characters crying foul right now, I doubt it. In fact, it seems as though the right has every incentive to perform outrage over supposed leftists secretly undermining the Supreme Court by distracting from the facts. That a conservative-leaning Supreme Court is about to do something deeply unpopular among the American public. That the right’s decades-long fever dream of ending abortion is closing in on a critical victory. Either that or they simply love being the party of the aggrieved.

They've caught the car, now what?
 
Why not call them on their hypocrisy.

The pleasure principle: How the left wins the abortion wars | Salon.com

It's not a huge mystery why Republicans want to talk about this non-issue instead of the actual matter at hand, which is the nationwide GOP effort to ban abortion. It's because Republicans know full well that their actual positions on the issue aren't just indefensible, but embarrassingly so. They definitely don't want to talk about the non-logic fueling Justice Samuel Alito's nasty, incel-esque "argument" against Roe. And they mostly don't want to talk about why they hate abortion so much. When they do, they end up sounding like snarling right-wing pundit Erick Erickson.

Notice that, even as he's raging about how God will rain down punishment, Erickson is coy about what, exactly, is causing that feeling of "dread" he's so excited about. It's easy to suss what he's talking about, however: That fornicators are scared right now because they are about to face the punishment of forced childbirth for their dirty sex-having ways. Coward that he is, Erickson argues through implication, instead of speaking plainly. Erickson knows, as do all Republicans, that fornication is incredibly popular among the American public. And so while punishing the sex-havers — at least the uterus-bearing sex-havers — is the whole purpose of abortion bans, Republicans would rather talk about anything else.

I moved from KY to (Portland)OR for better weather, less reliance on cars and a non-GOP controlled government. There's still no shortage of GOP shitters, but generally it's not the south/rural America here.

By and large, that pre dates the mainstreaming of the internet and the dawn of social media.
Independent thinking was a hell of a lot more common back then. Don't get me wrong, it was bad... but after around 2008 partisanship became nuclear winter bad.
 
wait, so if people no longer have a right to privacy, that means the ATF can go to an all-electronic firearms owner database right? 😱

because registries are all about privacy, and if that's up for grabs, there's no reason the feds can't have a nice database of gun registrations. it certainly doesn't prevent you from owning a firearm. it just lets the government who has one (legally)
