SCOTUS has agreed to review constitutionality of Mississippi abortion law.

www.cnn.com

Supreme Court to hear restrictive Mississippi abortion law on December 1

The Supreme Court will hear a case concerning a Mississippi abortion law on December 1, the court announced on Monday, teeing up one of the most substantial cases of the term in which the justices are being asked to overturn Roe v. Wade.
www.cnn.com www.cnn.com

The law is less strict than the TX law, banning abortion after 15 weeks rather than six.

I would expect their ruling on that law will presage the ultimate fate of the TX law, and of Roe.

another small but important withdrawal. need some folks with morals to lead with their dollars and see if other companies follow suit in some manner. Shouldn't be hard to find something else that looks like Dallas. Just a generic city with no real unique architecture and mostly sprawl with absolutely nothing too unique about it.


A new HBO miniseries based out of Texas will no longer be filmed in the state because of its new abortion law, the showrunner said Monday.

David Simon, who created the critically acclaimed series “The Wire,” is now looking for suggestions for filming locations for the new nonfiction show.

“This is beyond politics,” Simon said on Twitter on Monday. “I’m turning in scripts next month on an HBO non-fiction miniseries based on events in Texas, but I can’t and won’t ask female cast/crew to forgo civil liberties to film there. What else looks like Dallas/Ft. Worth?”

I would like to point out something.

Texas does not have a ten thousand dollar reward for reporting a rape.
Or reporting spousal abuse.
Or murder.
Or armed robbery.
OR GOVERNMENT WASTE!
OR CONSTITUTIONAL VIOLATIONS!
OR GOVERNMENT CORRUPTION!


But they do have a law rewarding ten thousand dollars for reporting an abortion.

This is the same state that elected Ted Cruz. A man who fled the country when a winter storm hit and took out the proud, powerful, extremely well funded Texas power grid.

I think most of us already knew this, but its nice when a good writer knows how to lay it all out intelligenty:


www.nbcnews.com

Opinion | Marjorie Taylor Greene and the fallacy of the 'good Christian'

A recent congressional screaming match showed how Christianity remains a moral bedrock of political dispute in this country — and why that’s a bad thing.
www.nbcnews.com www.nbcnews.com



Sociologist Philip Gorski argued in a 2019 article that evangelical white Christians loved Trump not despite his violent and scabrous language, but precisely because he told them they were better than everyone else. Evangelicals, Gorski said, responded to “Trump’s racialized, apocalyptic, and blood-drenched rhetoric.” That rhetoric harkened back to the Christian language deployed to justify slavery and Native American genocide.

Trump told white evangelical Christians that they had a right and a duty to impose their morality, through force, on others. Marjorie Taylor Greene is following through on a tradition of dispossession and cruelty when she insults abortion supporters or tries to seize control of people’s bodies in the name of a higher morality.

right now other states are criminalizing nurses and doctors who perform abortions. So I guess we need that federal bill to pass soon.

If it fails, its basically sending the message to those states that they can criminalize and ban it without fear.

Chris Wallace doesn't push back that there is no heartbeat at 6 weeks. It's the machine making the noise.

Holy shit I'm watching Hunchback of Notre Dame for the first time. This movie has a G rating, and has a main character that is committing genocide, killed a woman, and was going to kill a baby. And has the main character attacked just for being ugly.

But "cornholed" should be NC-17?

This is country is seriously messed up with anything to do with sex.

Edit: Just realized i put this in the wrong thread.

Don't you know? Violence/genocide/crimes against humanity are A-OK according to our society - Sex/pleasure/attraction is not.

That was more common than most people recognize. A lot of things with just incredible graphic violence and some nudity got PG ratings pre-1984 (when PG-13 came into existence).
