Cont: Roe v Wade overturned - this is some BS part II

He's just minimizing the fact that these new anti-abortion laws are causing more women to die than before those laws were enacted.

The Attorney General of Missouri has filed a lawsuit claiming that their state and others like it are harmed by the availability of mail order abortion drugs, using as proof of the harm a statistical decline in 15-19 year old pregnancies. Not the only argument here, but one of them, is that the availability of abortion pills deprives the state of the right to refuse abortion to teenage girls in its care. Another argument is made that the state is harmed by the loss of population and associated political power! Abortion is called a "sovereign injury to the state itself."

For the TLDR folks. skip down to somewhere around page 190


e.t.a. I should not have said it was just Missouri. They've teamed up with Kansas and Idaho.

New York doctor faces criminal charges for prescribing abortion pills to Louisiana patient

The patient’s mother has also been charged for ordering the pill for her daughter, who is a minor.
www.msnbc.com www.msnbc.com

"The indictment is also a test of New York’s shield laws, which are intended to protect local physicians from criminal prosecution for providing abortion care to patients in states where it is banned. New York Gov. Kathy Hochul called the charges “outrageous” in a video statement on Friday and vowed to “never, under any circumstances, turn this doctor over to the state of Louisiana under any extradition request."​

I also expect the New York AG will tell Louisiana prosecutors to pound sand...

Jordan Klepper was amusing when he found all those clueless Trump voters. And Trump voters were funny, though they never reawlized it. As long as Trump did not win. Now they are not funny anymore. Klepper is a bit out of a job now.
Why do you think Brack Obama was not in his office on 9-11?
I forgot the Dave Matthews line. That was funny.(1:50)

To me, it's a bit of humor that I first heard long ago. I hesitate to call it a joke, though, because that would imply that it should not be taken seriously.

On a quick look, of course, I'm hardly the only person to hear it.

Indeed.

There was a particular user here who took issue with some advice I passed on about a friend of mine who is a nurse in West Virginia, who advises young women with unwanted pregnancies to keep quiet about it. He called that advice dangerous and unnecessary. I wonder what he thinks now? We will probably never know, because he seems to have skulked away with his tail between his legs when the things he said would never happen, started happening.

If that was me, I hereby admit I was wrong. Sadly it looks like it was wishful thinking.

According to the GOP, it is the family's responsibility.

And so, I'm sure, will be responsibility for the child who if born alive is more than a little likely to be handicapped for what is left of its life. But don't worry, Jesus will be standing by waiting when the time comes to take the little lamb to his bosom. There's no such thing as an unhappy ending when Jesus is on the job.

Nah, Republican Jesus would deport the souls because they were people of color. Still a happy ending, according to Republicans.

Leaving this here.

Earlier this month authorities in Texas performed a nationwide search of more than 83,000 automatic license plate reader (ALPR) cameras while looking for a woman who they said had a self-administered abortion, including cameras in states where abortion is legal such as Washington and Illinois, according to multiple datasets obtained by 404 Media.

The news shows in stark terms how police in one state are able to take the ALPR technology, made by a company called Flock and usually marketed to individual communities to stop carjackings or find missing people, and turn it into a tool for finding people who have had abortions. In this case, the sheriff told 404 Media the family was worried for the woman’s safety and so authorities used Flock in an attempt to locate her. But health surveillance experts said they still had issues with the nationwide search.

“You have this extraterritorial reach into other states, and Flock has decided to create a technology that breaks through the barriers, where police in one state can investigate what is a human right in another state because it is a crime in another,” Kate Bertash of the Digital Defense Fund, who researches both ALPR systems and abortion surveillance, told 404 Media.

I wonder if some of the people who posted earlier in the thread still think there is nothing to see here, and that women need take no precautions against being tracked if they are seeking to terminate a pregnancy?

But all these policies are about *protecting* women.
They are just frail, weak-minded creatures that need big strong men to make decisions for them /s

I still cannot believe that there are women that voted for Trump this term, the promises about their rights were quite clear.

My take on this is entirely anecdotal and undoubtedly reeking of prejudice, but it seems as if most of the Trump-supporting women I've seen around here are middle aged, probably driving big pickup trucks, and though the sticker has gone out of fashion these days, the same sort of people who a decade or so ago had bumper stickers saying "I'm spending my kids' inheritance."

Remember too that you have little to fear from the leopards if you're a leopard yourself.
