Yeah I suspect the higher you are, the more you know how full of shit the antivaxxers are and you need to be healthy to maintain power.

I think “bulk” is underselling it. I’d honestly be surprised if there are more than 10 at the national level. They may be assholes, but they’re going to protect themselves, if only because their ego is so big they know they have to live to reach whatever the top is.

I’d be willing to bet that the bulk of elected GOP politicians are vaccinated but they’re still claiming to be antivax or conspiracy theorists or whatever hot take they’re on these days.

I think about him a lot, now, when I think about that connection between basic humanity and this kind of care—a connection we’re losing. The doctor in Texas remembers—barely, but remembers—how bad things were before Roe v. Wade, and that’s what is spurring his commitment to care. Morgentaler, as you noted, lived…

Oh selkie, selkie. So long as a woman listens to her husband (or father) about what to do, how to act, how to vote, and how to raise the children, and never never thinks about doing something radical like getting a job outside the home, she’s not a whore. She’s just a child.

All the information is out there if they cared to look. Randomly I saw a a screen shot of a comment where some conservative was saying conservatives can’t win rhetorical arguments because all the data was on the side of liberals. So it’s not like they don’t know they can’t win with facts and logic, they just don’t…

Canada had a hero, Dr. Henry Morgentaler, who performed abortions when it was illegal because he was a humanist and felt it was part of his duties as a doctor. He was repeatedly charged criminally in the 1970s and the juries acquitted him. He’d survived concentration camps and wasn’t going to let a bit of jail scare…

Which is, let's face it, every woman. Even those they pretend to like.

When I was younger and way more naive, I used to think: “If only these people understood how desperate some women can be, and how terrible the lengths they’ll go to, they wouldn’t be so against abortion.” Now, of course, I know that they genuinely don’t give a shit. But thank you, hero doctor, both for continuing to…

Lol. “Sanctity of life” they say. And yet we know God’s worst representatives on earth would never allow a minor thing like ideological coherence get in the way of violent christian fascism.

I don’t understand. They’re pro life... surely they’d... they’d never...

My thoughts exactly. At first I was worried about his being sued--read the article and now I’m worried for his life. A true stand up hero.

Yep—this is evidence of decency at play. Also it’s significant that this is a doctor who remembers the time before legal abortion. He’s seen the consequences.

Exactly. It’s softcore White Christian Sharia down there. Any of those nutters could decide they need to wage a “holy war”. Aside from his legal defense, I hope he has safeguards for his security.

White Christian Supremacy never cared about the children. Only about making life hell on earth for women they deem whorish.

What a mensch. godspeed doctor.

On a related note, it’s worth remembering that covid infections in pregnant women increase maternal mortality, miscarriage, and sundry other complications for mother and child.

Yet I suspect that many of the so called “pro-life” advocates championing the Texas law are among the ranks of the unvaccinated and oppose…

A real act of bravery to do this in a place like Texasistan. 

I seriously doubt she was invited to the gala considering that her hubs has pleaded guilty of not registering as a convicted sex offender and is awaiting sentencing, and both of them are being sued by his victim for still harassing her.
