I never said I knew, and you know I didn’t. I stated it’s something to consider when these topics come up. 50% of all preemies don’t live outside the ICU, and this one is a micro preemie with additional heart and lung problems.

I was just objecting to the notion the complications in this case are the same as the ones all preemies potentially face.

Depends on the state and the reason for the abortion. I don’t know if Canada operates like this, but each state can make their own laws on it with certain restrictions (like they can’t ban it outright).

But there’s damage to the lungs from the coat hanger, so this goes beyond what’s normal for preemies/micro preemies.

I can’t tell if you’re serious, being sarcastic, or trolling due to your use of “nanny state” in response to the coffee being hot enough to cause third degree burns within seconds.

Yeah, I just can’t believe they thought that was reasonable even after hundreds of reported injuries.

Their use of “some dumb lady” and stating she was burned when she drank it makes me think they just didn’t know what they were talking about.

If I remember right they had the coffee at a sitting 190 degrees which would cause third degree burns within seconds. I think it sits at 150 now which would need a full minute for a third degree burn.

I remember being like four and being so confused when people said it was from a stork. Like the baby is obviously inside the mom and she pushes the baby out. Why else would her stomach be so big?

I know, it’s despicable how they presented the case and paved the way for corporations to use it as an example of “frivolous lawsuits”. I’m really glad the documentary Hot Coffee is out there, it’s doing a very good job at correcting the incorrect narrative.

I think the documentary Hot Coffee has helped some, a lot more people are aware of how horrifically the media dealt with the case since it hit Netflix.

It’s appalling how well the media twisted the story to get everyone on the corporation’s side. It’s so telling when they were interviewing people on the street and they were all against her until they saw her injuries, the ones news outlets never ever showed.

She was awarded for her medical bills, that coffee was well into dangerous temperatures and caused third degree burns on 6% (eta actually it may have been 16%) of her body. It almost killed her. She was in the hospital for 8 days and needed skin grafts. She originally asked for her medical bills but they refused.

When people say “yes...” I always think they’re annoyed at me or something!

The whole one word reply thing is throwing me off more than the punctuation. I’m just so use to things like “Sure, what time?” or “Yes should I meet you” etc. If I sent an invite and got “sure” it wouldn’t matter much if it was “Sure.” or “sure”. I’d find either less than enthusiastic.

See that sounds good because it follows the apple theme.

The only good fruit pie is huckleberry pie. All others can just go home.

People trying to do other countries’ accents is always incredibly amusing (: Most British people I’ve met always use a southern or Boston accents for the US.

When I was traveling through Japan I had several women come up and tell me how pretty my tattoos were. In Singapore I even had a couple older women who just straight up started touching the ones on my arm lol.

This is cuter than puppies playing which I honestly didn’t think was possible.
