Absolutely, it not only affects the women but also the children: Women who are denied abortions risk falling deeper into poverty. So do their kids "I defaulted on student loans that I was navigating," she says. She'd been studying to be a paralegal but had left without a degree. Within about a year, she also defaulted on credit card payments, which eventually led to her meager checks being garnished. At one point, she juggled three jobs — one of them full time — trying to make it all work. "It was certainly rough." https://www.npr.org/2022/05/26/1100587366/banning-abortion-roe-economic-consequences

Thomas’s obligation to report the real estate deal couldn’t be clearer. He had reported the property as an asset. Selling it was a transaction that necessitated disclosure. The Ethics in Government Act requires judges, like other senior officials, to file annual financial reports, and sets out the consequences for failing to comply. It further provides that the relevant party, which in the case of judges is the Judicial Conference, “shall refer to the Attorney General the name of any individual which such official or committee has reasonable cause to believe has willfully failed to file information required to be reported.” A violation can result in a fine under the criminal code. https://www.washingtonpost.com/opinions/2023/04/13/clarence-thomas-real-estate-deal-ethics-harlan-crow/

Incredibly naive to think that in Florida, schools are not required to teach sex education yet half of Florida’s 12th graders had already had sexual intercourse. Then expect all those adolescents to have adequate information from somewhere. That you then expect a political decision to just switch off access to abortion where overwhelming evidence shows the futility of restrictions and bans in stopping abortions. Upholding reproductive rights is crucial for the health of women and girls. But then you're a man speaking on what they should do, as is DeSantis and his clowns.

That's just not accurate, there is no month and a half window. Most pregnancy tests are recommended only when you miss a period. so the window is extremely small and its one which every sexually active women would need to take every month if you don't want a child. Or if you are unsure when your period is due then a 3 week period is recommended.

Abortion is essential healthcare and women’s health must be prioritized over politics The systematic denial of timely access to safe abortion services is discriminatory and reflects a gendered power struggle involving the instrumentalization of women's bodies aimed at subjecting them to a patriarchal agenda. Unfortunately, restrictions and bans are not a thing of the past. Despite overwhelming evidence showing the futility of restrictions and bans in stopping abortions, and the harms caused, political actors in different parts of the world have been using their power to deny women and girls their constitutionally protected rights and freedoms. https://www.ohchr.org/en/statements/2021/09/abortion-essential-healthcare-and-womens-health-must-be-prioritized-over Why restricting access to abortion damages women’s health https://journals.plos.org/plosmedicine/article?id=10.1371/journal.pmed.1004075

I also don't believe he's a secret nazi but, if I was a billionaire like him I doubt very much that I would have a collection of paintings by Adolf Hitler, a signed copy of Mein Kampf, and a set of swastika-emblazoned napkins.

Disturbing, one can only hope women and their partners vote to get this imbecile out in the next cycle. The extended provision of up to 15 weeks if due to rape or endangering a women's life is far from adequate, what happens to those who are over 15 weeks. “This ban would prevent four million Florida women of reproductive age from accessing abortion care after six weeks — before many women even know they’re pregnant,” White House press secretary Karine Jean-Pierre said in a statement issued after Thursday’s vote. “This ban would also impact the nearly 15 million women of reproductive age who live in abortion-banning states throughout the South, many of whom have previously relied on travel to Florida as an option to access care.” https://apnews.com/article/florida-abortion-ban-approved-c9c53311a0b2426adc4b8d0b463edad1

On the back of that................. Clarence Thomas’ Mom Definitely Still Lives in the House the Billionaire Bought The reporters noted that they were certain Thomas’ mother lived in this house through 2020, per public records and social media, and that her neighbors said she still lives there. But Slate can confirm that she resides in the house to this day. Two weeks ago, Joel Anderson interviewed her there for the upcoming season of Slow Burn. https://slate.com/news-and-politics/2023/04/clarence-thomas-mom-billionaire-house.html

Not if MTG had her way! Marjorie Taylor Greene defends alleged Pentagon leaker as ‘white, male, christian, and antiwar’ Marjorie Taylor Greene has defended the Air National Guardsman arrested by the FBI for allegedly leaking national security documents.

Its all going tits up for Fox, you can listen to a couple of the tapes in the article below: Hear Trump Officials Tell Fox Their Election Fraud Claims Were Bogus In her Tuesday filing, Grossberg claimed that Fox News failed to disclose evidence to Dominion of multiple recordings she made of Giuliani, former Trump lawyer Sidney Powell, and “high-ranking” Trump campaign officials admitting they had no proof to back their election fraud claims. She recorded the conversations in November and December 2020 during her time as the senior booking producer of Fox host Maria Bartiromo, who helped promote Team Trump’s voting machine conspiracies. During a pre-trial hearing on Wednesday, the judge in the Dominion case reprimanded Fox News for withholding key evidence in discovery after Dominion lawyers aired some of the recordings in court. https://www.thedailybeast.com/hear-trump-officials-tell-fox-their-election-fraud-claims-were-bogus

Will Trump attend his civil rape trial? Judge wants to know

Trump asks to delay sexual assault trial following historic indictment Lawyers for former President Donald Trump asked a judge to delay the start of a sexual assault and defamation trial for one month to allow a “cooling off” period following the historic indictment charging Trump with falsifying business records. Joe Tacopina, an attorney for Trump, asked the judge overseeing the battery and defamation lawsuit brought by former magazine columnist E. Jean Carroll to delay the trial until the end of May. The trial is scheduled to start on April 25. Tacopina said the pool of potential jurors will have the criminal charges “top of mind” when they are called due to intense media coverage and that could taint the jury pool. https://edition.cnn.com/2023/04/12/politics/e-jean-carroll-trump-lawyers-trial/index.html -
Nothing vague in what dem states say, take for example Calaforina: The right to abortion care is absolute in the state under two conditions. These are when: the fetus is not yet viable, or the procedure is necessary to protect the life or health of the mother https://www.shouselaw.com/ca/defense/laws/abortion-laws/

Less than 1% of all abortions are carried out in the last trimester and when they are its for medical reasons. Your claim: Green New Deal Abortion on demand up to birth Is false and you should acknowledge that NRSC wrong that Mandela Barnes has come out “in favor of abortion up until the moment of birth.” https://www.politifact.com/factchecks/2022/oct/20/national-republican-senatorial-committee/nrsc-wrong-that-mandela-barnes-has-come-out-in-fav/ California’s Proposition 1 includes “a right to abortion up-to-birth.” https://www.politifact.com/factchecks/2022/nov/07/instagram-posts/proposition-1-unlikely-remove-limits-when-abortion/ Posts misrepresent details of US Senate vote to codify Roe https://apnews.com/article/fact-check-abortion-law-democrats-205822809847
