oh noes she failed an impossible purity test, we’d better eat her

So are Jordan, Egypt and Japan. 

The US gives foreign aid to basically every country in the world.  Its a basic component of our diplomacy.

Yes, we give military aid to many other countries. Not just Israel. 

This shouldn’t be in a dirt bag!

Same. What a compassionate and important message.

Exactly-Uma’s story deserves to be it’s own separate story.

I await the flood of pro-lifers eager to pounce on her that she dare have sex and dare become successful instead of suffer a lifetime of struggling to support a child she wasn’t ready to have.

The Uma Thurman story is too important to be a part of a blog full of celebrity gossip.

Holy shit. I’ve always been a fan of Uma Thurman’s acting but she’s a fucking hero. This is so beautiful and shouldn’t have to be brave but really is. 

I’m also wondering how you could even do “discovery” in a suit like this? Even in Texas, medical records (HIPAA) and conversations between doctor and patient cannot be subpoenaed in civil cases. 

If this guy’s random-ass lawsuit goes through and the burden of proof is on the doctor to prove a negative or violate his patient’s privacy, then theoretically someone should sue the shit out of Greg Abbott, Ted Cruz, Ken Paxton, John Cronyn, Boof Cavanaugh, and all those assholes down the line for unprovable abortions…

Now I’m wondering what is involved in actually suing someone under this utterly absurd law. To be clear, I am 100% opposed to this law, but I’m intrigued by the notion of as many ridiculous lawsuits being filed as possible (only against the provider who has bravely taken on this burden) so as to decimate this law. Can…

I hope all the men keep suing each other while the people with uteruses get their healthcare in a timely and safe fashion.

No private patient information has been shared (yet). And AR for Arkansas, AK is for Alaska.

Wait....this law is so bad you don’t even have to be a Texas resident to file suit? And the Supreme Court signed off on this horseshit. This country is so so fucked.

What I want to know, maybe better legal minds than mine can explain it to me, how is this law not a HIPPA violation?

“Private citizen and former lawyer” made it too obvious he was in legal trouble.

(North of Baltimore) Sliding scale based on age: Babies (~$16k a year) to 5 yrs (~$11k). Above board (follows regulations) centers and home daycares are about the same. Price increase west and south of the city, and huge price increase in the city.

This really stood out to me:
