If the Republicans replace Kennedy and another liberal judge, it’s all going to stop being struck down because Roe v. Wade is history.

Which is a pity, because he had a very disrupted childhood full of upheaval, a family full of Nazi, and yet he is a war hero, the biggest source of support the Queen has, and found a way to make a meaningful life for himself as just the husband. Yeah, he’s said some pretty hurtful things, but he’s also done a lot of…

I just got around to binge-watching The Crown, and wow, some serious wankers in that family, if this version is to be believed. Has anyone else ever watched those movies they did about Edward and Wallis back in the ‘70s or ‘80s (Jane Seymour played Wallis in one of them), and how it was positioned as this amazing love…

She really had to do a lot more than normal for him. He was used to having his days plans down to what time and how long it would take to brush his teeth. After the abdication, she had to make him those schedules and try to keep him entertained. It’s why he played so much golf, she could press three people into…

The Queen does seem to care about the British people. When she was visiting people in the hospital after the Manchester bombing, they seemed genuinely happy to see her.

I have to imagine Edward was truly awful. I bet they had been looking for a way to get him out, and when he started to get into the press for associating with nazis / dating a divorced American nazi supporter, they couldn’t ignore it anymore.

George V (Edward and Albert/George VI’s dad) rather famously said he hoped Edward wouldn’t marry or have children so that “nothing would stand between Bertie and Lillibet and the throne”. It always tickled me that that sort of happened BECAUSE Edward married, not in spite of it.

Churchill did definitely have a thing for Edward. That’s one of the things I can’t stand about the movie The King’s Speech. According to that version, Churchill was pro Albert/George and couldn’t wait to get Edward off of the throne.

ICE illegally detains or deports up to 5,000 lawful residents a year.

Or at least get out of the field of WOMEN’S medicine.

“Trainees who object to abortions can opt out, according to the guidelines.” And then they can opt the fuck out of Med School as far as I’m concerned.

This is the School of Medicine, not the university itself. Each residency program is individually accredited by an independent overseeing body that isn’t the state, and if that accreditation is lost, the program/school of medicine doesn’t get the money for that program, some of which comes from federal sources - not…

Potentially stupid question, so enlighten me, medical folks - I had a miscarriage recently. No heartbeat on the three month ultrasound. Waited a week to see if it would happen naturally, but no luck, so I was scheduled in for a D&C, as they were worried about the risk of infection, and also, ya know, the psychological…

This makes me SO ANGRY. I just got back from my first pregnancy ultrasound and you can believe I was hoping that baby was healthy. But what if it hadn’t been? Doctors routinely have to do D&Cs for wanted pregnancies and for miscarriages. This is so fucking short sighted even if you don’t condone abortions, doctors…

Trainees who object to abortions can opt out, according to the guidelines.

I had a D&C to see if that would resolve a fibroid issue.

I’m wondering what the University of Wisconsin School of Medicine thinks about this. The risk of losing accreditation for that program is real if they provide no educational alternatives, and I’ll bet Andre doesn’t care at all about the logistics or cost of implementing that.

Great. Let’s start passing laws to make American doctors incompetent at their jobs. Way to go America!

According to data provided by the American Congress of Obstetricians and Gynecologists, there are no OB-GYNs practicing in 1/3 of the 72 counties in Wisconsin. In Douglas County, which has a population of 44,159, there is only one.
