It could go either way. There’s a ton of people on the right who are anti birth control of any measure, but so many people tend to change their tunes when it is applied to men and not women. There is still a lot of the “old fashioned” ideas of boys being encouraged to have sex, while girls being demonized for it, so…

LMAO it’s a science article and the comments immediately become political ranting. Ya’ll are as bad as that uncle complaining about “the liberals” at the dinner table.

Not cool because it will encourage teens to have sex. Same reason they are uncool with the HPV vaccine. Because that’s how teens work, right? They get an opportunity to have sex and first stop to think “wait, I could get HPV which might give me cancer in several decades.”

Wouldn’t be surprised if this just leads to another “deal” that’ll allow them to get away with killing a bunch of people in the name of profits 

If I see any one of my staff playing spreadsheets with little fallout dudes in the cells, I’m going to buy an office Xbox for them instead because they’re all adults who can utilize breaks as they see fit as long as the work is done as correctly and as requested. Bonus points for anything above and beyond. I don’t…

Her sister could have regulated this! She was secretary of transportation! But she would never have thought of putting some innovation-killing regulation in place on a private vehicle company, perish the thought! She could never imagine anything like this happening to someone who mattered to her. Angela Chao’s family…

Damn, the husband defending Elon and saying he still loves their Teslas just took the “Weird Elon Nerds taking a valid criticism bullet ” meme to a dark next level.

Choosing Musk over the life of your wife — gotta love capitalism! Or else.

The best response I’ve seen is that Disney makes her character canonically trans. “I’m Cara Dune. I was born a man, but I identify as a woman,” as we watch the impotent rage behind her eyes.

She wasn’t fired. Her contract was up & Disney didn’t renew it. This lawsuit isn’t going anywhere, she has no case.

Executive orders and dictatorial fiats are not the same thing, no one is making that claim in the article, so let’s not pretend otherwise. EOs are still subject to law and review and can be overturned by the courts if deemed unconstitutional. By definition, whatever a dictator says becomes the law.

Same. How many actual crimes do you think got committed out there while they were presumably digging through this poor miscarrying woman’s septic tank?

Holy fuck!

That was part of the story that I did NOT understand (beyond the total disregard for patient confidentiality). How on earth is that retrievable when presumably, the same toilet had been used multiple times since? I wish police had that level of hustle for important issues.

How in the hell can this nurse have made that determination? She didn’t want to look at the foetal remains? Most women would not want to look after a miscarriage. She was in a position of trust, she told her patient that everything would be okay and then went behind her back and reported her to the police, as though…

It seems important to emphasize that you shouldn’t have to be publicly excited about your pregnancy to not be criminalized for a miscarriage, nor should you be regarded as criminally suspect based on your reaction to your miscarriage.

Note to the conservatives that what this nurse did actually meets the perimeters of a ‘witch hunt’: baseless accusation based on personal bias with no supporting evidence. 

I’m sure it’s not her name, but I’m going with Aunt Lydia.

Now, I hate usually hate doxxing...fucking HATE that we live in a world where you say or do something (usually dumb rather than malicious) and end up with the internet piling in on you. But since it happens anyway and we can’t stop it, god damn it, let’s have the name of that nurse!
