The case in Texas and another one the high court will consider from Mississippi this year have the same goal, experts say: gutting or overturning Roe v. Wade, the 1973 Supreme Court ruling that legalized abortion nationally.
The laws take two separate approaches to curtailing abortion rights. But as experts explained, they may end up working together — with the help of a conservative Supreme Court — as a well-timed one-two punch that could be a death knell for the landmark ruling.

EDIT: And what's wrong with pot? The insurrection on January 6th wouldn't have happened if people started smoking joints in the mall. It would have been a love in with daisies handed out and dancing....

Rockstar, there doesn't need to be a conviction to call it an insurrection anymore than it needs a conviction to call a dead body a victim of a rape and murder. I thought of that when I was getting stoned stalking a food robot I suddenly had an urge to rob.

There is absolutely nothing wrong with pot or shrooms for that matter. IMO if it comes from the ground it’s all good, enjoy. When Jimmy Dore gets on a roll he sometimes describes himself as just a pothead who works from his garage.

I’ve seen plenty of dead bodies in my time and not all are victims of murder. Most were from boating accidents, victims of their own or someone else’s stupidity.

As for the definition of insurrection it may appear to some the acts of certain individuals fell in that category. But so far since January 6th 500 people have only been charged with crimes ranging from unlawful entry, disorderly conduct, destruction of government property, disrupting officials. On the other hand Antifa rioters have assaulted federal courthouses numerous times, doing severe damage and attempting to burn them. Let’s get after them too. Get Roland Freisler and let the prosecutions for insurrection, sedition, treason, and traitorous behavior begin and hang’em all. Would be interesting to see when the trials would end. Scary thing is once it got rolling it probably wouldn’t. Something you say here could place your head on the chopping block next. I however suggest restraint and I agree with the path the prosecutors are taking.

Plus if we successfully prosecuted these people for insurrection, treason, sedition, and mutiny. That might pave the way for the U.K. to bring a case against the United States

Unless one can somehow prove that a human fetus is somehow not human then no matter how you justify it abortion is the deliberate taking of a human life.

Now maybe some people are ok with it because they don't to pay child support or actually don't consider a fetus to be an human being until they are old enough to graduate clown college or whatever, but seriously everybody should understand that this issue and its attendant controversy will never go away because the anti-abortion side will never see it as anything but what it is, murder.

They would like to but they can't because we fixed their wagons at Yorktown.

Yep, with a little help from De Grasse who ran off the British fleet causing Cornwallis to rethink his position and eventually tucked tail and run too

Btw,
traumatization was a special field of mine, i dealt with torture victims from the Balkans. What you say is in the way you set up and/or ignore contexts and circumstances, wrong and i am convinced an intentional lie. Shame again.

I'll take your indignant response as confirmation that I'm over the target...

I'll never understand the zeal with which pro-abortion activists relish killing of fetuses.

It's almost like "oh, it's a fetus, not a person" is their attitude. Would they say, "oh, it's a cocker spaniel, not a golden retriever, so it's ok?"

A raped women getting pregnant from it - being raped a second time afterwards, by the "law" and/or "religion". Lovely. So humane.



Be proud of yourself. I have little doubt that thats an easy exercise for you.



And no, depressions experienced by some women after delivery, miscarriage, or abortions under usual conditions, are not what is to be expected - and empirically described - from abortions done on rape victims after the attack. For most victims of rape - it is a RELIEF. While being forced to carry out the baby of their attacker compares to get collectively raped a second time by society, state, society, law enforcement. Many, though not all, HATE the creature afterwards afterwards they had been forced to deliver. And the kid gets it to feel.



Women are more than just breeding lifestock, you know.



Sorry, you are not over any target there. Just show that you went astray and have no clue what you are talking of, nor empathy for the victims of a capital crime.



Shame on you.

It seems to me a female victim of rape would realize there is a very good chance that she may have been impregnated. She has six weeks, SIX WEEKS to come forward and abort a fetus. If she is unwilling or doesn’t feel confident enough to come forward or attempts to self abort or go in hiding. That seems to me to be a problem with screwed up tribal views, a perceived lack of compassion, shame, or with the systems in place which are meant to help victims of rape.

I would believe if the victim does go to the hospital they are offered what is called a morning after pill. This is only a guess. These pills are readily available at the pharmacy without prescription. In utilizing such a pill I think the shame or lack of compassion would not be an issue.

White supremacist praise of the Taliban takeover concerns US officials

As the United States-backed government in Afghanistan fell to the Taliban and US troops raced to leave the country, White supremacist and anti-government extremists have expressed admiration for what the Taliban accomplished, a worrying development for US officials who have been grappling with the threat of domestic violent extremism.

Should come as no actual surprise, though.
