Mortiesmorty is an idiot. Pain and suffering - the single biggest source of monetary damages in litigation besides punitive damages. Excrutiating pain because they refused to treat her? Humiliation, depression, etc. for being treated like a brood mare? Damages will be high six or seven figures. Probably justifies…

And if they're passing a bill with American, Patriot, freedom etc in its name, it's probably terrible. 

I live very close to Glen Falls, it's super red around here.

The article directly describes monetary damages. Learn to read, bad-faith troll.

For real. If our shitty, profiteering healthcare industry is going to place profits front and center, and our government is going to dismantle civil liberties because they want to live in the Handmaid’s Tale, the only recourse is to sue doctors like this into oblivion and make their employers hurt.

Don’t forget religion!

To both impose his personal beliefs and use them as a shield. 

This is a great example demonstrating that even in so-called “blue” states, women are not safe. We need explicit, federal legislation protecting our rights. Human rights are not defined in our Constitution, and it’s for good reason. The ruling class needs its brood mares and slave labor.

Always remember: With Republicans, cruelty is a feature not a bug.

Just part of the problem. It’s capitalism and money at all costs.

I wonder if this site is going to let the shit clods take over and ruin the comments section like another site in this family.

The state of New York legalized abortion in 1970; Roe being overturned should have absolutely no bearing on this whatsoever. The hospital is gonna lose unless they pay her a TON of money & fire that doctor.

“My personal beliefs mean that I can object to treating a patient.”

Sue them into oblivion.

The US has gone mad.

This honestly read like the kind of essay that makes professors pause in grading to open a bottle of wine. Like, it’s kind of a stupid premise trying REALLY HARD to sound deep, and the actual writing is...baffling.

This article was all over the place. I had no idea what point was trying to be made. Americans in the 1800s celebrated the end of a harvest which would mean bountiful food through the harsh winter when most people had to grow their own food? But that was bad and made up. Now most Americans don’t grow their own food,…

I upick all our fruit because I can’t afford grocery store fruit and also grocery store fruit is disgusting. 

Why are you acting like America is the only nation with fall celebrations? There have always been celebrations around the autumn harvest. The autumnal equinox is auspiciuos AF in pagan traditions. Thanksgiving does, indeed, have problematic roots, but America didn’t invent fall. Good grief.

Despite all of this, fall is still the best season, and Thanksgiving is still our best public holiday.
