It’s also worth noting that there isn’t a 1% chance. An ectopic pregnancy is not viable.

They are a life threatening emergency and must be treated as such.

Yes thank you for posting that. I take for granted people know that but it’s possible some don’t.

Even if there was a 1% chance… to endanger the mother against her will for 1% is criminal. To do it for 0? It should be attempted murder.

I have no patience for this garbage.

Spoiler alert- it was a Catholic hospital. I’ve been reading stories about people being denied miscarriage and ectopic pregnancy care at Catholic hospitals for well over a decade now, and people have definitely died because of these policies, but maternal mortality data is imperfect.

I believe the south side Chicago building was “full of Tren de Aragua gang members” about as much as I believe the Venezuelan boats are filled with “narcoterrotists”.

The regime will say anything to justify unreasonable, and even lethal, force.

Q: Politico reported on a group chat of young Republicans. Does this just reflect some bad apples?

HOCHUL: Some bad apples? These are the future of the GOP. This is so vile it's hard to find the words to put into context ... there's gotta be consequences ... this bullshit has to stop.

More journalists should do this.

If the fascists won’t answer a question, stop letting them talk.

Don’t let them spin lies and propaganda.

If Trump won’t take questions from outlets he doesn’t “like”…
The White House press corps should stand together & walk out.

Just like the Pentagon.

Report examining the employment history data of more than 3m finance & tech workers at companies that rolled out office mandates found that turnover among women is almost three times as high as that of their male co-workers, and that women are more likely to take a lower position if they leave

Women are taking pay cuts as companies mandate return to office

Researchers are identifying several key factors behind why gender pay gap – which had narrowed steadily over the years – has suddenly widened.

AZ AG Mayes: If I have to, I’ll take Speaker Johnson to court. There's no legitimate reason for him to refuse to swear her in right now. And it's not fair for Mike Johnson to be holding the state of Arizona hostage because he doesn't want to release the Epstein files.

Disability is one of the only minority groups you can join at any time.

Everyone thinks they will be the exception.

It won’t happen to them. They will “try harder” and overcome.

They think we’re failing.

It is not a moral failing and very few people will be the exception.

“What you did with Stephanopoulus to the Vice President? I don’t take questions from ABC fake news”

The thing they did was called journalism.

Vance was asked a fair question about whether Tom Homan took $50k.

He changed the topic & started lying.

Stephanopoulus called him out & cut him off.

Six people had their visas revoked due to their social media posts.

Six people have had their freedom of speech suspended.

It won’t stop with these six people.

Either we all have freedom of speech or none of us do.

Yes your taxes should support disabled people.

They should support homeless people.

They should support those living in poverty, children and the elderly.

This is literally the purpose of taxes, and I would far rather support those who need it than continue to enrich the elite.

The fall of Roe has made pregnancy unsafe in America…
Even if you live in a blue state.

They want to control our bodies, and if we die because of it? That’s considered an acceptable loss.

Avoid period tracker apps. Don’t discuss your cycle or pregnancy online. Discretion could save you.

He’s not even referring to them as people anymore … just “narcoterrorists”.

He’s dehumanizing those aboard the Venezuelan boats to distract from the fact that the regime are murdering people in international waters.

Unless and until some kind of compelling legal and moral argument is presented as to why this is a legitimate use of deadly force, this is just…mass murder.
