I had assumed as much -and facility absolutely should be. I meant only that had I been drinking legally and been sexually assaulted, I would likely be too uncomfortable to approach the police about it -if I’d been underage and drinking illegally, I certainly would.

There’s also the part where a woman is expected to cause herself to miscarry publicly with the assistance of the priests if the fetus isn’t her husband’s.

Good on the kid for being strong enough to acknowledge that. Being assaulted is in no way her fault, but being afraid because you’re worried about how the cops will treat you if you’re not a perfect saint prevents so many reports.

That seems... wrong. Not factually. Morally. Thank you for taking the time to explain.

Kidney Transplant -this is the most recent update I know of. Toddler doesn’t have kidneys; needs a transplant. Dad’s a match, but violated his parole and got arrested right before he was supposed to go through the surgery. Hospital decided to postpone the surgery. Kid probably needs the kidney sooner than the date…

That’s huge for a special election. We tend to be under 60% as a country for presidential elections. Midterms are lower, and primaries, lower still, followed by special elections dead last. Breaking 25% is noteworthy -hitting nearly 40 is not something that happens.

Jewish perspective here: The Hebrew’s actually ‘thou shalt not murder’. There are many circumstances under which killing is permitted. Furthermore, damaging a fetus is a property crime, not an injury crime, and there are specific circumstances under which women are supposed to get abortions -and that’s all IN the…

I looked it up. Apparently it’s #14. State Rankings for Education

And he’s so devoted to making sure that people know this has nothing to do with #MeToo that he mentions it three times with links.

There has to be some sort of legal precedent for handling court-ordered payouts that the perpetrator can’t afford.

By all accounts from horse twitter, it’s not unlikely.

He hasn’t commented on his surrogate and oaths of office yet, so probably. See: 47th-best educational system in the country.

....Christianity doesn’t officially believe in illegitimate government? Or did I drastically misunderstand that?

I was gonna say ‘whatever white Christian man of their political persuasion currently hold the highest office’, but yeah, that works too.

And we’ve got biblical justification for it, too. Always wondered how that got lost in translation.

Those cops shouldn’t be on this side of a jail wall. That... that’s beyond sickening.

“HE wouldn’t sleep with the little girls, and he asked me not to and I didn’t, and he asked our ride not to, but he said he felt like it, so we left him there so that soldier could get tail from the kids and left.” ......was.... are we sure he actually meant it as SUPPORT of Moore’s character? Is it possible to be…

For me, at least while I’m at school, it’s white guys in either camo or military uniforms when they’re off-campus.

I don’t know if I’ve done enough to earn the title of friend, but I’m definitely white, definitely in the south (Texan, grew up in MD, and in school in Alabama), and I say it’s racist as fuck -as is every person I’ve ever met who proudly displayed it. At BEST, it’s someone who ‘doesn’t think they’re racist’ -usually…

My understanding was that it was saying ‘those of us who aren’t black need to get off our asses and weaponize our privilege on behalf of those who don’t have it; educate ourselves with respect to the issues facing the black community and what we can do about it, and then fucking take those actions instead of hanging…
