From some op-eds I’ve read regarding how SCOTUS may rule, there are discussions they may say it’s up to Congress to decide on whether or now Trump is eligible to run for President again.  This is a way for the House to at least get ahead of the matter, and vote that Trump didn’t incite an insurrection. 

For a cheeseburger to do its job, and for him to have stroke. Not to die, but enough to look weak and a half paralyzed face. It’s cruel. If he dies, he’s a martyr, and even more so if he goes to jail. If he’s weak, some of the base will abandon him. 

From what I’ve been reading about this, Ken Paxton and his ilk, are trying to now blame the doctors for not interpreting the Texas abortion laws appropriately, and the women should be suing the doctors and not the State of Texas.  It’s so ridiculous.

I’m still stuck and Georgia and without an amazing OB-GYN.  :( 

It’s also going to upend access to OB-GYN’s in States that are banning abortions.  This is already happening in Idaho. My OB-GYN in Georgia saw the writing on the wall during the Trump presidency, and moved to NY.

I got married in 2007, and I remember loving the book “Anti-Bride Guide: Tying the Knot Outside of the Box”.  But back then, you saw very little of alternative weddings.  I know they happened, but they definitely weren’t as featured in bridal magazines.  I was not the most traditional of brides, but was forced into…

Yup. I think there are plenty of pro-life people, like my mother, who aren’t keen on abortion, but know that abortion is necessary in some situations, like fetal abnormalities, life of the mother, rape, incest, etc. And those pro-lifers are seeing what is happening in states like Texas or Idaho, where abortion is…

Probably not. Because the fetus still had a heartbeat, the hospital staff were probably powerless to do much. Reminds me of the case of Savita Halappanavar in Ireland. I’ve had several friends who unfortunately went into labor around the 18 - 20 week range, for varying reasons. There are some medical interventions,…

I remember my mom begging me to pledge for Alpha Xi Delta.  She was in that sorority when she was in college in the 70s.  She has some very fond memories and is still friends with her sorority sisters.  I was an awkward, bookish teen and the sorority lifestyle wasn’t my thing.  But I told my mom I’d look into it, at…

I did the wedding gown shopping in 2006, and I guess I was a bit of an anti-bride type. I had to do some more of the traditional stuff because that’s what my family wanted.

100% this. I’ve been reading more and more about how Trump style politics are turning off many of the moderate, independent type voters. While all of the stupid outrage is still quite popular with the Trump base, in bright Red areas, it doesn’t bode well in more general elections where politicians have to appeal to a…

Based on some recent conversations I’ve had with Conservatives about abortion - they want some exceptions, but most are clueless regarding the true impact the current laws are having on abortion and women. Probably because their news sources don’t report on the many women who have faced near death due to pregnancy…

I mean if Republicans are so worried about the workforce, they could you know do something regarding immigration.  There are plenty of people at the Southern Border who would love to work in the USA.  Heck, even have a pathway to citizenship so they can start paying Federal Income Tax.  

I think some pro-life Republicans don’t know the true ramifications of these anti-abortion laws. A few weeks ago, I got into a debate with a Republican coworker about abortion. He’s pro-life but with exceptions - rape, incest, life of the mother, etc. He said there should be exceptions. I tried to tell him that even…

At this point, I think it might take gruesome photos of the dead children and school staff, to be leaked to the press aka the Emmett Till effect, before some changes may be made. The deadlier school shootings are done with the AR-15 rifles. I didn’t know this until recently, since I’m not into guns, but the AR-15…

I’m in the same boat. Sadly, too many Republicans are unreachable at this point. No amount of fact checks will help. Trumpism is a cult. Steve Bannon’s strategy of “flooding the zone with shit” worked. Many news outlets are a shit river, and I don’t blame people for tuning it out and retreating to their bubble. There…

The sad truth of it all.

Yup. My mother almost died having me in the early 1980s. She had Preeclampsia, so was super sick. I was born a month early because of it. She didn’t know it at that time, but she had fibroid tumors in her uterus. Because of these tumors, she didn’t stop bleeding. She had multiple blood transfusions and had to sign…

She has 4 boys. And the truth is, those boys will have fewer consequences from becoming young parents compared to the girls. The boys can walk away so easily, and the girl will be stuck with the burdens of raising a child.

Just awful.
