I wonder what roasted elephant taste like? Of course it would probably would have been burnt extra crispy.
https://nypost.com/2019/05/25/scare...medium=site+buttons&utm_campaign=site+buttons “This is a serious thing,” said Amanda Uhry, a private-school admissions consultant in New York City. “I’ve had 61 college-admission clients remove Georgia and Ohio schools from their list for next year,” she said, adding that one of these clients is a double legacy at Emory, in Atlanta. Students are rejecting colleges in states with backwards abortion bans. Some of these state schools especially depend on out of state students’ tuition -but all schools care about acceptance rates. Powerful statement!
Washington Post's fact checker gives Planned Parenthood's President 4 Pinocchios for her claim that if abortion laws were again passed restricting abortion, it would signal a return to the time before Roe when thousands of women died each year from illegal abortions: “We face a real situation where Roe could be overturned. And we know what will happen, which is that women will die. Thousands of women died every year pre-Roe.” “Before Roe v. Wade, thousands of women died every year — and because of extreme attacks on safe, legal abortion care, this could happen again right here in America.” “We’re not going to go back in time to a time before Roe when thousands of women died every year because they didn’t have access to essential health care.” The Post's assessment: The Pinocchio Test Wen is a doctor, and the ACOG is made up of doctors. They should know better than to peddle statistics based on data that predates the advent of antibiotics. Even given the fuzzy nature of the data and estimates, there is no evidence that in the years immediately preceding the Supreme Court’s decision, thousands of women died every year in the United States from illegal abortions. Wen’s repeated use of this number reminds us of the shoddy data used by human trafficking opponents. Unsafe abortion is certainly a serious issue, especially in countries with inadequate medical facilities. But advocates hurt their cause when they use figures that do not withstand scrutiny. These numbers were debunked in 1969 — 50 years ago — by a statistician celebrated by Planned Parenthood. There’s no reason to use them today.

Apparently now if a woman who is pregnant is shot and loses the baby, she has committed a crime: https://abcnews.go.com/US/lawyers-s...opped-alabama-woman-marshae/story?id=64061675
that article seems to leave out the rationale for the charges (and I am emphatically NOT saying I agree or disagree with anything!!!!!). WaPo's original article: “The investigation showed that the only true victim in this was the unborn baby,” Pleasant Grove Police Lt. Danny Reid said in December, in the days following the shooting. “It was the mother of the child who initiated and continued the fight which resulted in the death of her own unborn baby.” https://www.washingtonpost.com/nati...icted-her-babys-death/?utm_term=.8f9c910d3dd5
I read the same over the weekend. What a strange case. There's rationale for charges against everyone involved. It's certainly not as cut and dried as state charges woman for getting shot. It's not that simple.
here's some additional discussion of this case with particulars as they relate to Alabama law: https://ethicsalarms.com/2019/07/01/ethics-observations-on-the-marshae-jones-case/
"Alabama's near-total abortion ban blocked by federal judge" https://www.cbsnews.com/news/alabam...tion-ban-from-taking-effect-today-2019-10-29/
So apparently the state of Missouri keeps records on thousands of ..women's periods! so as to ban the last abortion clinic serving 6 million people.. I am disgusted beyond words. Why doesn't one of these women sue them? The government feels entitled to monitor and invade on womens' private info..why not monitor also how many times a man ejaculates? Once again proving that the state is as misogynistic as ever. Shame on you America.
"Ohio bill orders doctors to ‘reimplant ectopic pregnancy’ or face 'abortion murder' charges" https://www.theguardian.com/us-news...eme-abortion-bill-reimplant-ectopic-pregnancy "A bill to ban abortion introduced in the Ohio state legislature requires doctors to “reimplant an ectopic pregnancy” into a woman’s uterus – a procedure that does not exist in medical science – or face charges of “abortion murder”. This is the second time practising obstetricians and gynecologists have tried to tell the Ohio legislators that the idea is currently medically impossible."
If at first you don't succeed... Is persistency the P in GOP? Will the SCOTUS finally take up the abortion case as they hope? https://www.kait8.com/2021/03/09/gov-hutchinson-signs-near-total-abortion-bill-sb/
From Gov. Hutchinson's statement this law is primarily just for the purposes of a USSC challenge. They are counting on Barrett to deliver (pun intended) for their cause. As he notes too the lack of rape and incest exception is going to make it difficult. This is where the anti-abortion side might've gotten ahead of their skis.
