When I was 8-9 months pregnant in NYC in the summer, it was all I could do to make it up the subway steps, even stopping to rest at every landing.* So, "walking + shuffling jog" sounds pretty impressive to me. (* PS I still never got offered a seat on the train).

from the majority opinion: "If the Commonwealth is particularly concerned about harassment, it could also consider an ordinance such as the one adopted in New York City that not only prohibits obstructing access to a clinic, but also makes it a crime "to follow and harass another person within 15 feet of the premises…
Just a small point of clarification — the majority in fact held that the law was content neutral. What they held was that while the state DOES have a legitimate interest in preventing harassment and intimidation outside of clinics, the law's creation of a 35-foot "buffer zone" which excluded ALL forms of speech…

sorry, kinja "published" when I hit Cancel.
Ha! I figured that out as I was typing, hit "cancel," and closed the page. Apparently Kinja decided that meant I wanted to hit "publish." THANKS KINJA.

They don't want to do this because they don't actually want their kids to get sick — therefore they want them surrounded by vaccinated kids. This is why they are disgusting freeloaders on herd immunity.
I think the issue is that people who want to not vax and then put their kids in public school *claim* a "religious exemption" regardless of their actual religious beliefs, because in many states, there is no "philosophical" exemption, just medical and religious. And they figure no one is going to challenge their…
I see your point, but I think the issue isn't whether people with "legitimate" beliefs aganst vaccination (assuming for the sake of argument that is even possible to ascertain) should be able to refrain from vaccinating (no one is *required* to vaccinate) but whether there can be consequences of that choice i.e., the…
Sorry! Didn't really get what you were saying.
That's kind of the point, though. It shouldn't.
Yeah, but he's a man so he's allowed to. Moms are not . :/
Amen! I have a cleaning lady (and we're not rich; we cancelled cable to pay for it). And I will admit to paying an obscene amount for my kid's birthday party, but that's entirely so that I could have it at a venue and NOT have to do anything to put the darn thing together! I do understand the compulsion though. …
I have that on my Kindle but I'm almost afraid to read it, because it's going to be depressing.
If the affidavit was filed with the court, 1) it is part of the public record (unless sealed) and 2) yes, the prosecution would have received a copy. As to whether the actual victim would have seen it — that would have been up to her, or her parents, or the prosecuting attorney — whoever was representing her…
